A groom is facing backlash from his family after defending his fiancée’s decision not to wear makeup for their upcoming wedding. The couple planned a small, intimate ceremony with only 16 guests, but the bride’s appearance has become a point of contention between the groom, his mother, and his sister. The bride, who works in a lab with strict appearance requirements, hasn’t worn makeup in 15 years and feels comfortable without it. Despite the couple’s engagement photos turning out beautifully, the groom’s family insists she’ll look ‘washed out’ and ‘not good’ in the wedding photos.
