A woman was left seething with her husband after he made an inappropriate comment to a bride on her wedding day - but he doesn't see what the problem is.
According to the woman, her husband, who is used to seeing the bride in loose-fitted sports clothing was taken aback to see her in a knee-length dress, which then prompted him to comment on her figure.
Recalling the mortifying incident on Reddit, the anonymous woman said: "The bride is more the outdoor-loving, sportive, tomboyish type, but chose a pretty, knee-length dress for her wedding. She commented a bit insecurely on it: "I usually don't wear dresses so I hope this is OK."
"Promptly my husband had his eyes wander up and down her body and he emphatically said: 'more than OK. I mean, you can wear anything with that figure' I was standing right next to him."
Gobsmacked by the remark, the woman tried to explain to her husband that it was a wildly inappropriate comment to make. She added: "There was a split second of awkwardness, then the bride thanked him and went to greet more guests. Doesn't sit right with me. I had to explain to him why I felt this wasn't appropriate. He was so baffled by my point of view that I'm now second-guessing myself..."
'I don't want children staying up late at weekends - I really need adult time'
People flocked to the comments section on the woman's post to share their thoughts, with one person agreeing the comment had been inappropriate. They said: "I'd be a bit creeped out if I was the bride. The comment feels sexual. I could also see him not intending it that way. People should never comment on how hot someone else's body is unless you're their romantic partner. Or you're a very close same sex friend being silly."
Another user penned: "I very much agree. I'm not close enough to the bride to know how she took his words but I know I definitely would not have been comfortable had this happened to me."
