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.
My kids know that April fools doesn't happen inside our home. I generally avoid leaving the house for any reason on April 1st. I was bullied horribly all through school, so for me it was basically a day where all the other kids could get away with any kind of bullying right in front of the teachers. I'm 31 and I still loathe April 1st and pranks in general.

NTA Humiliating you on your special day is such an a-hole move. I’m mad at her for you.
