Bridesmaids denied church entry over dress code dispute at friend's wedding
In a viral video capturing a controversial moment at a wedding, a group of bridesmaids were denied entry into a church due to what was deemed “indecent dressing.” The incident has sparked a heated discussion online about dress codes and church policies.
The video, shared widely on social media, shows the bridesmaids sitting outside the church, visibly upset after being told they could not attend the ceremony.
One bridesmaid, who felt her attire was appropriate, explained that she was asked to cover her hair despite her efforts to dress decently. She acknowledged that some of her fellow bridesmaids were wearing outfits that revealed cleavage, which the church considered unacceptable.
“We are really pained,” she said in the video. “Even though I was decently dressed, they still asked me to cover my hair. I understand some of my friends showed cleavage, which might be seen as indecent by the church.”
The bridesmaid concluded by expressing their disappointment but noted that they were choosing to wait outside until the wedding was over to support the bride and groom from afar.
This incident has ignited a debate on social media, with opinions split on the church’s actions. Some users supported the church’s decision to enforce a dress code, emphasizing the importance of respecting religious institutions and their rules.
“If you guys care about your friend , you would look for something to cover up and get yourselves into the church instead of making a video out there and laughing about it My thoughts though,” one commenter wrote. “Their clothes are not too bad if we are being honest.”
Others felt the church’s response was too strict and lacked compassion, especially given the significance of the day for the wedding party.
“Too strict, no be their fault. Church suppose to show love and understanding,” another user commented. “But their clothes are not bad cos it’s long up to their knees. Maybe it will look different when they stand though. I have seen many people dressed way worse who are supposed to be bounced from public places and forced to go back and dress decently but are allowed.”
