There's nothing WTF about this.

You are obviously are not married...seeing someone you are going to spend the rest of your life with for the first time...you can almost feel their relief. Why do cultures still do this? That's a lot of pressure to put someone through.

I am married. My husband and I had a private "first look" with just us and photographers before our ceremony. It was wonderful and I'm glad we did it privately instead of waiting to see each other at the ceremony.

Still, there is nothing WTF about these pictures. Unless seeing a man get emotional about a woman he loves is somehow a bad thing.

Wow, this would be a great AMA. Short but great. What if he was ugly? Were you scared or concerned? Why the arranged marriage?

[–]roflomgwtfbbq 0 points1 point ago

Arranged marriage? What the fuck? You must be confused - these pictures are NOT arranged marriages. They are simply pictures of the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time on their wedding day, not the first time ever. Are you married? I'm guessing you're not if you can't relate to the happiness and excitement captured in these pictures.

[–]redditbotboy 1 point2 points ago

Sorry my fault. I misinterpreted the post. And yes I am married. So yes you are right, this is not WTF worthy.

[–]chzburger[S] 0 points1 point ago

Ok, maybe my view was biased, as we had been together 10 years (and engaged 8) before we got married. We had really nice private cerenomy with closest frends... and now we've been married almost another 10 years. When I relate these pictures to my experience, I simply see a bit too dramatic reaction here. I doubt these guys react like this when they come home from work and have not seen her for a whole day. Of course the whole wedding thing has quite significant cultural aspects as well, some like it with big traditions and huge emotional charge. We've never been like that, and I should have seen that we're minority here. Sorry.

if it works for you, and the two of you are happy, that's all that really matters :) if you're not naturally an emotional or sentimental person I can understand why you'd see these pictures as "too dramatic". for my husband and me it was a very special moment and seeing these pictures bring back all those feelings. I think they're beautiful pictures.

One more, if love starts out blind, in this superficial age, do you think people will still stay in live. For the most part, I guess it will depend on where you live as other places put more or less emphasis on looks.
