Wedding Cancelled After Groom Insults Dowry Furniture

A wedding was abruptly called off following a groom’s tirade regarding the quality of furniture he received as a part of the dowry. Screenshots of his messages, which were shared on Reddit by the bride’s cousin, reveal the groom berating the bride’s family for providing furniture that he deemed unacceptable. This disrespectful exchange led to the bride’s family deciding to cancel the wedding just 10 days ahead of the planned ceremony.

Details of the Dowry Misunderstanding

According to the Reddit post, the bride’s family had sent various pieces of furniture, such as a bed, new mattresses, and a sofa set, as gifts for the groom. Rather than expressing gratitude, the groom reacted negatively, asserting that the furniture fell short of his expectations and sending a series of derogatory messages to his fiancée.

The Groom’s Disrespectful Messages

The groom, who works as a teacher while studying for the UPSC civil service exam, texted the bride: “What were you thinking when you sent that stuff? And according to whose level did you choose it?” He went on to express his dissatisfaction by saying, “It would have been better if you had sent nothing. I would have bought everything according to my choice. Now this is taking up space and isn’t worth showing to anyone.”

Breakdown of Communication

The communication between them deteriorated, with the groom stating: “Look, the wedding is done for. Block my number. I don’t want to talk to you again.”

The Bride’s Family’s Reaction

The bride’s cousin provided clarification on Reddit stating that there had been no prior dowry demands from the groom’s family, and the furniture was merely a thoughtful gift from the bride’s side. Nevertheless, the groom’s outburst and offensive remarks compelled the family to cancel the marriage.

Support for the Bride

The bride’s choice to call off the wedding received widespread approval on social media. One commenter congratulated her, while another advised, “Save your sister from that kind of man who cries over gifts and status.”

General Consensus Online

The overall sentiment expressed online was one of relief, with many declaring, “Good riddance.”
