Brazilian Priest Declares Wedding Invalid Over Groom’s Shoe Prank

Father Fábio M. invoked Catholic canon law on voluntary consent after discovering a concealed note on the groom’s shoe

Overview

  • The ceremony in Uberlândia was halted during the blessing when the priest removed the groom’s shoe to reveal a hidden message reading “Help me, get me out of here.”
  • Citing church requirements for solemn intent, Father Fábio M. ruled the vows null and void and prevented the couple from completing their marriage.
  • The groom’s brother, serving as best man, lost his microphone after likening the bride to a return item from an IKEA shelf in his toast.
  • A relative of the bride was reportedly outraged by the comparison and reacted angrily during the service.
  • Despite the disruptions, the bride and groom remained composed and carried on with their celebration undeterred.
