In other news…. Thanks to her corset dress, the bride has become a hot topic after the bride encountered a challenge on the wedding day.
In the video posted online, the bride @mariamarii_ seems to be trying to breathe and cannot comfortably enter the car due to the limitations of its traditional corset wedding dress.
An unidentified woman, probably the designer, came soon to help her bend backwards instead of sitting down.
The bride’s discomfort was obvious because she found it difficult to smile for the photos while she was gasping. She shared that the corset made it difficult for her to kneel down at traditional rituals and needed help.
While some viewers criticized the decision to wear this uncomfortable outfit on her big day, others admitted that her dress, while beautiful and fit, did bother her.
