A local wedding celebration captured attention after a video revealed a moment of tension between the groom and his much younger bride.
The clip, shared on Facebook by Qhakaza by Qhakazile, has sparked a serious discussion among viewers.
The video shows the groom, identified as Rev Mlungwana, and his wife sitting at a table during their large wedding celebration. The wife playfully dips her finger into the cream of their massive wedding cake. Although the video has no sound, the groom's subsequent facial expression and posture clearly show he is scolding her intensely.
The groom gets impatient
The visibly amused bride attempts to diffuse the situation by laughing and ignoring his sharp reaction. The stark difference in the couple's demeanour, her playful gesture versus his visible anger, created a tense moment. The incident was a brief, but telling, glimpse into the groom’s personality. The guests gathered closely around them, creating a tense atmosphere for the couple's celebration.

SA's shocked by the groom's reaction
The video garnered many views, likes, and comments from social media users who reacted strongly to the actions. Many were shocked by the man's intense display of anger in front of a room full of people and worried about how he might act when they were alone. These users felt that the groom, given his position, should have shown more patience.
Some viewers jokingly warned the bride to stop playing childish games with the man, suggesting that an older man might not understand her humour. Others, however, focused on the young wife's status, noting that she was better off than many over-40s who were still living with their parents.
