Bride Angry After Husband Joins His ‘Frat Bros’ for ‘Drop Your Pants’ Dance at Wedding

A newlywed woman was “shocked” and “angry” by her husband’s behavior at their wedding.

In a message at RedditOn the ‘Wedding Drama’ forum, the 24-year-old bride explained that during a dance at their reception, her husband, 23, and his friends took off their pants in front of everyone.

The couple got married a few weeks ago and invited about nine of the groom’s fraternity friends, all of whom were about the same age as them. Although the bride understands that they are all on the ‘younger side’, she found their behavior on the dance floor childish and inappropriate.

The groom was a “frat bro” in college and “still shows some of their tendencies” — and he made no exception at their wedding.

“Well a song came on and apparently it was tradition for that group that when this song came on you dropped your pants and danced in a circle,” the bride wrote. “Not only did all his friends do it, but my husband did too. I was shocked. A few male friends/relatives joined in.”

Although guests found the dance funny, the bride was “upset.” She explained that she had worked “so hard” for over a year to plan their wedding, and that it culminating in “a bunch of guys in their boxers” was disappointing and not tasteful.

“Before you say it happened quickly, this was towards the end of the night when everyone was a little drunk and most of the guys (thankfully not my husband) kept their pants off for the rest of the night,” she continued. “And to make matters worse, these are the photos they all post on social media.”

“I thought I was just angry at the time, but even now that it’s over, I’m angry,” the bride admitted before asking the forum: “Is it wrong for me to be upset by this?”

Some Reddit users in the comments section made light of the “fun” and “harmless” situation, with the top comment joking, “You can kick the brother out of the frat house, but you can’t force him to wear pants at a wedding.”

Other Redditors sympathized with the bride, pointing out that it probably wouldn’t have been okay with everyone if she and her friends had done the same.

“It’s such a double standard too. Can you imagine his reaction when she said, ‘I know it’s our wedding, but traditionally my sororities always have to dance in our panties to this song!’ ” someone commented.

They continued, “Of course that wouldn’t happen because there’s also a double standard where sororities are expected to be classy and sororities are expected to be crazy, but that’s not the point even though he probably would have had a problem with her. undressing in front of guests.”
