Drama unfolded at a church when a bride was asked to remove her makeup before being allowed to proceed with her wedding ceremony.
The incident, shared on X by a user identified as @teeniiola, sparked widespread discussion. According to the account, the church’s rules strictly prohibit makeup, and the bride was required to comply, even though she had done her makeup specially for the occasion.
A video accompanying the post captured the moment as the bride sat solemnly while her friends carefully wiped off her makeup and removed her eyelashes. The post read:
“The church requested the bride to remove her makeup on her wedding day 🧎♂️”
And, of course, netizens wasted no time weighing in:
@queenlizzie61: “You knew about this, unless you skipped the marriage counseling class!”
@emryskixxy: “Why? Some people too dey do sha. Be like ment.”
@Tooshugary4U: “Of what gain, please? I’d switch to the church next door, ASAP.”
@gold_06768: “Maybe the church doesn’t accept makeup, simple!”
@MORRENICS: “She knew the rules. This one na self-made embarrassment.”
Amid the uproar, one could only imagine the bride thinking, “If I can survive this, I can survive the marriage.” Perhaps it’s a subtle pre-marriage lesson in sacrifice—or just a makeup remover’s biggest day at work. At least, her friends can now list “emergency makeup removal under pressure” on their CVs!
