A part of the audience on TikTok agreed with the stance taken by the religious institution and maintained that rules concerning appearance should be respected.

Another group of commenters opposed the action and argued that the timing and manner of enforcement caused unnecessary pain for someone celebrating an important personal milestone.

The situation happened at the entrance of the church, where the bride was stopped and informed that she could not proceed with her face made up.

A lady had also assisted to ensure that all traces of the products were eliminated before she was allowed to continue.

The bride’s visible sorrow during the event drew sympathy from many who watched the recording and felt the approach lacked compassion given the occasion.
