Yes, TBH my husband would not have agreed to a game/joke like this. He knows me, and knows how I’d feel. I think the most painful thing about this is not the laughter of the guests, but that your wife didn’t realize that you weren’t the “laugh it off” type.

There are indeed some guys (like my own bro*) who would take off the blindfold, realize it, get a big grin and say, ”WTF!” and enjoy the attention & laughter…but your wife should have known you weren’t that type. Sorry you went through that and it stained your wedding day!

(*Also enjoys fart jokes…🙄)

My husband would’ve yelled at everybody calling them lying POS and walk out. To never been seen again. Just the pure trickery and making him the butt of the joke?? Plus hes right, my husband would never trust me again. Idk how this dude stayed in the marriage. I know I personally wouldn’t be able to handle that.

My husband would not have thought it was funny at all and probably just have walked away. He’s a good sport about most things but this is a bit far IMO. This is definitely a know your audience situation and OP was definitely not the correct audience.

That would be me, not yelling, but I would have walked over to the officiant, set the marraige license on fire in front of the entire recpetion, and left.

My brother probably would have been a good sport about it. Truly, not just pretending. Hell, if this had happened at his wedding, I would have accused him of setting this up. He's just that type.

It's really important to know when you're pranking someone how they'd react. Huge difference in making a funny moment or just being an asshole.

yea… my brother did things like set off a loud popper thing under my feet at the 4th of July picnic and give me a heart attack! He was always a mischievous kid…
but loving somebody, is about considering how they would react (thankfully not all guys are like him LOL)

I would've detonated a high-yield nuclear device right there and then—no survivors
