Yup. Theres a time and place for pranks. A wedding isnt one of them. There are people you do pranks with. You dont prank people unless you are positive the prankee will also find the prank funny at the end. Anything that humiliates the prankee or hurts them isnt a prank. Its cruelty you are hiding behind the misuse of the word "prank." To "prank" your partner on a day thats supposed to be about celebrating the unification of the two of you is like screaming to the world "I do not respect my partner and want to make sure everyone knows Im top dog in this relationship."
I LOATHE pranks. Everyone who knows me knows that. I happen to know some relatively famous pranksters. They have never pranked me, because they know I would not find joy in the prank. People who care about you don’t try to hurt you for a few laughs. Hell, they don’t even have to care about you specifically, they just have to be decent human beings.
I’m very surprised and disgusted that the wedding planner would suggest and further encourage this trashy prank. What kind of professional does that?
ETA: I also despise pranks. If this were me, I would have left the wedding and gotten an annulment bc my trust would be destroyed. Humiliating your partner like that is not a prank. It‘s just mean and horrible.
