The clip was shared by TikTok user @beautyby_harmony on 21 April 2026, where it went super viral, reaching millions of views and over 2K comments from viewers who criticised the church rule.
The creator was filmed removing the bride's makeup before they entered the church for the wedding service. She noted in the video caption that they had to remove it as it was not allowed within the holy house.

Because she wanted perfect wedding pictures with her husband, she then did her makeup and went for a photoshoot before the service started. Just before going inside the church, she then removed it all.
