63 Times People Didn’t Hold Back Shaming The Messed Up Wedding Situations (New Pics)

A video of Father Fábio Marinho went viral on social media after he reported, during an interview on the “LendaCast” podcast, that he annulled a wedding due to a joke the groom made at the altar. The incident took place in Uberlândia.

According to the priest, during the blessing, the guests began to laugh. Unable to understand why, he noticed that the groom had glued the phrase “Help me, get me out of here” to the sole of his shoe. This behavior was interpreted as an impediment to the wedding, leading the priest to cancel the ceremony.

“They knelt for me to give the blessing, and the church started laughing. I thought: something happened. When I saw what was in the groom’s shoe, I took it off and got it. I said, ‘Look, this is an impediment to me validating your marriage. Therefore, the wedding is canceled. You’ll have to go through all the necessary procedures and decide if you really want to marry her, because you’re asking for help,'” the priest said.

He also stated that marriage must be performed consciously and spontaneously, with no room for joking.

“When I asked if it was of your own free will, you said yes. But now you’re asking for help. This isn’t a joke or theater. Leave the joking for the party with your guests. I’m not there to celebrate something that isn’t serious. If the groom is asking for help, he doesn’t want it. In the name of the Church, I am obliged, by canon law, to suspend the marriage. The marriage becomes invalid,” he explained.

The incident generated significant attention on social media, dividing opinions among internet users.

While some defended the priest’s stance, others believed the groom’s actions were merely a joke with no intention of invalidating the marriage.
