My wife pulled a humiliating prank at our wedding — now I want to punch everyone in the face
A groom's big day turned into doomsday after his new wife and a few friends pulled a 'trashy' trick that 'destroyed' his trust in the marriage and left him 'humiliated.'
'Wife says I need to get over it, but I can't stop obsessing over a prank that ruined my wedding experience and left me furious,' groaned the gut-punched groom in an anonymous Reddit rant.
The newlywed explained that the wedding planner convinced his bride and buddies to blindfold him for the garter belt toss.
It's a risqué, controversial tradition during which the groom sexily removes an article of the bride's undergarments — with his hands, tongue or teeth — and throws it to a group of unmarried men for sport.
But this guy's garter ordeal wasn't all fun and games.
'Sitting in the chair in place of my wife, my groomsman was in shorts with the garter around his thigh,' he whined. 'My wife stood behind him and was talking to me as they walked me over, to keep me fooled into thinking it was her.'
'On their instructions, I got down on my knees and began reaching for what I thought were my wife's legs,' continued the dope. 'Once I found the leg, I found the garter and began pulling it down. But at that moment, I heard my wife saying, 'With your mouth! With your mouth!'
He had no clue they'd swapped his sweetheart for a dude.
'So I leaned forward and grasped the garter belt in my mouth, to the shrieks and applause of the crowd,' said the groom. 'With the garter in my teeth, I pulled it down his leg … Once I had the garter, they told me to stand up and take off my blindfold.'
'When I took off the blindfold, everyone burst into even louder laughter,' he recalled in misery. 'For a moment, the entire energy of everyone at the wedding was focused on nothing besides laughing at me, at me being the sole butt of the joke.'
'It felt awful.'
And it seems awfully hard not to feel awful after being bamboozled during one of the biggest, most memorable moments of one's life.
Be it the cake-smashing stunt or deliberately dunking the bride in a pool for a laugh, wedding day pranks often indicate glaring 'red flags' in the relationship.
The garter-duped groom says the gag 'destroyed my trust and sense of intimacy' towards his wife.
Committed to keeping spirits high during the nuptials, the embarrassed gent plastered a phony smile on his face for the duration of the reception party, 'sucking up' his shame.
But once on their honeymoon, he hit his bride with the 'harsh' truth about the embarrassing hoax.
'After at first apologizing a bit, she got upset and left me sitting out there,' he confessed. 'I think I just kept going because I felt hurt and wanted to maybe make her feel bad as well, to be honest.'
'Since then, it's been a difficult subject,' added the wounded. 'I've told her I don't want to hear about the wedding. I don't want to write thank you notes, look at pictures. If it was tomorrow, I wouldn't make plans to celebrate our anniversary.'
But she is not the object of the grudge-holding groom's ire.

'Watching the video, I find myself looking at the laughing faces of family and friends, and there's a part of me — that I'd never act on — that wants nothing more than to punch them all in their faces,' he said, also admitting that he now 'can't stand' the groomsmen who pretended to be the bride for the joke.
'I literally cannot stop my mind from replaying it over and over, and I get mad again every time,' the grump grumbled. 'I tell myself sometimes it was assault because I was tricked into putting my mouth on another man's leg [without] my consent.'
A faction of social media sympathized agree with the groom's unyielding anger, urging him to seek therapy, consult a divorce attorney and consider suing the wedding planner for masterminding the mess.
However, other, less compassionate commenters suggested the sulking sap 'wash the sand out of [his] vagina' and let it go, to which the tickled groom laughed, 'Ha. Fair play.'

Sean "Diddy" Combs wants to go back to Madison Square Garden, his attorney says
As Sean "Diddy" Combs awaits his sentencing, his lead attorney Marc Agnifilo sat down with CBS News' Jericka Duncan in his first network interview since the highly publicized trial in which a New York jury found Combs guilty of transportation to engage in prostitution but acquitted him of more serious charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. When discussing the hip-hop mogul's future goals, Agnifilo said Combs told him "he's going to be back at Madison Square Garden." Asked about what Combs wants the public to know, Agnifilo explained that Combs has been reflecting on "the blessings that he's been given, on the imperfections that I think he sees in himself." "I think he wants to get out of jail, reestablish a loving, present relationship with all of his seven children. He wants to take care of his mother," the defense attorney added. "I think he's someone who's always going to strive to do something, you know, exceptional and probably demanding and challenging," Agnifilo said about Combs' potential plans for the future. "But I think the most demanding and challenging thing in front of him right now is to get back with his kids and get back with his mother, and the people who love him and miss him."

Filmmakers, San Francisco Japantown museum reflect on 80-years since first atomic bomb
Inside a tiny museum in San Francisco's Japantown, there is a powerful message about the atrocities of the atomic bomb. "Americans see the bomb as a beautiful mushroom cloud, and the Japanese who were on the ground see it as ground zero, the devastation, the 70,000 people who lost their lives in an instant," said Rosalyn Tonai, Director of the National Japanese American Historical Society. This summer, the NJAHS resurrected an exhibit from 30 years ago to remember the victims of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki atomic bombs that the United States dropped on Japan on Aug. 6 and 9, 1945. The two bombings ended World War II, with the Japanese surrendering less than a week later, on Aug. 15. The exhibit also includes a single relic that serves as a haunting reminder, a doll that was recovered from the rubble in Nagasaki. "An American family brought it in and let us know that they had kept it all these years. It was given to them by a family that survived the atomic blast," said Tonai. The survivor stories are what Tonai wants people to experience and understand. The display also features firsthand accounts from those who survived the atomic blasts, including Jack Dairiki, who still lives in San Francisco. Dairiki was a Japanese American kid visiting family in Hiroshima who became stuck in Japan because of the war. On Aug. 6, 1945, he was outside a factory on the outskirts of the city when the first bomb dropped. "We saw three aircraft coming above us," said Dairiki, during a 2015 interview with KPIX. "At that time, the bomb exploded, all the factory windows went out, it flew over my head. I weighed 100 pounds and was floating in the air." And now a new documentary titled "Atomic Echoes" by filmmakers Victoria Kelly and Karin Tanabe is shedding even more light on the devastation. "Few Americans understand what happened under the mushroom cloud, "said Tanabe. "We all see the exact same image, which really covers up the atrocities, and then we stop there in the history books." Tanabe's great-great uncle was part of the rebuilding effort in Hiroshima. Kelly's grandfather was an American medic sent to Nagasaki, who witnessed the effects of peak radiation sickness. He suffered from PTSD and died at the age of 42. The filmmakers interviewed several other American medics who were sent to Japan 45 days after the bombings. "They were really torn, they were really proud of their service, and all of them said, you know, we were there, and we can't ever have these bombs happen again because they were the worst thing we've ever seen," said Kelly. For Tonai, she believes the topic is still relevant today and still important to talk about. "We are the cusps of a nuclear buildup, and this is really a call for world peace," she said. "So, we really need to take a pause and take a look at the human cost and consequences of a possible nuclear fallout. Her hope is that the history that happened even eight decades ago will never repeat itself.
