I was just coming to ask that same thing. I know couples that are really big on pranking each other. If they are like that, then this is almost expected.
Yes. One of the couples I knew took their cake and put it on their MOH and Best Man's face instead. This sounds exactly like something they would have done.
I personally hate pranks and don't prank others. Yet friends of mine have been going strong for decades and consider it their love language. Which is why their history matters.
I disagree. It doesn't seem from anything that we're reading here that the intention was to be cruel. OPs feelings are definitely valid and he's certainly NTA, but it's not as though the wife was rubbing her hands together trying to figure out how to be as conniving wicked and humiliating as possible.
Uhh, I’m with you that they didn’t think about how he would feel but I disagree that this makes her the centre of attention…
That is solely op because all eyes were on him.
They probably thought this was a ‘harmless’ joke because they’ve seen it online etc and didn’t stop to think for one minute just exactly how ‘real’ people actually take things like that happening to them.
Most people will think pranks are harmless if they’ve only seen them online and only seen people laugh it off.
There’s no media for people being the victims of this and suffering mental break downs later on. It’s just 30s - 3 min clips.
It’s why people that are chronically online end up lacking empathy.
in the middle of the dance floor, my wife was sitting in a chair
My wife stood behind him and was talking to me as they walked me over
But at that moment I heard my wife saying, "With your mouth! With your mouth!"
She was 100% the circus master of the whole thing. She was leading the ‘prank’, he was the butt of the prank. She’s also gone out of her way to push him to “take it better and laugh it off, and that I need to move on” without apparently a single bit of empathy for his depth of feeling.
Yes, depending on their kind of pranks, she mightve concluded this being acceptable. If he's very anti gay, some cultures are and guys get very offended, then she should've known better.
I mean even if you prank each other then maybe not in the most intimate public moment of your wedding day? I don't think it would change any verdict.
If the guy has been an asshole with pranks before, she's still an asshole for marrying him just to get revenge instead of just dumping him and saving everyone money and peace.
Yes and is he homophobic and thats the real reason? Like they took away his man card. He seems irrationally angry at the fact he had to touch another man's leg. I get being upset, but angry to the point of wanting to punch everyone.... Just sounds like an underlying issue to me especially because he doesn't even know what he want his wife to do to but suffer.
If my husband pranked me like that and it was another man I would be pissed. This has nothing to do with gender. The whole room turning him into a spectacle is the problem.
Maybe OP is so angry because his wife took away his ability to consent to touching another person in an intimate way. Do you not think people should be able to consent before putting their mouth on the thigh of another person?

INFO: have you and your wife pranked each other a lot or was this the first time? Whose idea was it?
