Weddings are usually happy times, but they can sometimes lead to tricky situations. A Reddit user shared a story about how a simple comment she made at her aunt's wedding caused a bit of a family drama.

OP's aunt recently got married for the second time last weekend, and OP was among the group assisting her in preparing for the big day. OP complimented her, saying she looked fantastic, and even used the phrase 'looking attractive.' While it was meant as a general expression of excitement and well-wishing, it unexpectedly upset her new husband.

The husband, somehow learning about OP's comment (the reason for its sharing remains unclear), felt uncomfortable with OP making such remarks about his wife while he was in another room. Adding to the situation, most people believe it's not a significant issue, attributing the husband's reaction to his usual demeanor.

However, OP's father believes it was inappropriate to make comments about the bride on her special day and suggests that OP should apologize. OP, on the other hand, is puzzled by the situation and doesn't believe she did anything wrong.

It's worth noting that OP is a woman in her 20s, while her aunt and new uncle are in their late 40s, although OP doesn't consider this detail particularly relevant to the situation.

OP's aunt got married for the second time last weekend, and OP complimented her, saying she looked great and "hot" but that upset her new husband.

He got upset and found it uncomfortable that OP talked like that about his future wife.

Most think it's not a big deal, but OP's dad believes it was inappropriate, and OP is confused about whether she did anything wrong.

OP is a woman in her 20s, and her aunt and uncle are in their late 40s.

This raises concerns about her husband's perception of a potential threat, which appears unjustified within a family setting.

OP's aunt's new husband is extremely insecure and it potentially can impact their relationship.

It's okay to say that to a family member.

It's a bizarre and dramatic situation.

The new husband's behavior is not ideal, but it's tolerated by everyone because of some reason.

The age of the uncle, who is in his 40s, shouldn't make a difference in this situation, and he should not be shocked by compliments given to the bride.

The aunt should consider an annulment due to the man's issues.

OP has the right to praise her aunt, and his offense is worrying.

The situation is quite strange, the new husband got upset for no good reason. It seems like he's very insecure, and it can cause problems in their relationship.

What's odd is that everyone seems to tolerate his behavior, even though it doesn't make much sense. The husband is in his 40s, so he shouldn't be so surprised by compliments to his bride.

In the end, the aunt might need to think about her relationship with this insecure husband because his reactions are causing unnecessary trouble. OP did nothing wrong by saying something nice to her aunt, and, strangely, it turned into such a big issue.
