We love it anyway.
For some people, a wedding is the most important day of their lives.
Some brides obsess over everything being a certain way, and everyone has their own idea of what makes up a perfect wedding day.
The bride’s choice of dress, hair, and make-up are some of the most talked-about parts of getting married, and is always a topic of discussion between guests.
And even if you weren’t invited to the wedding or the bride is a complete stranger, it is common practice to express our opinion of how she looks and discuss whether we would do the same on our big day.
This is basically what’s happening with a photo that has gone viral on twitter.
Bride Bisola Umoren, from Lagos in Nigeria, had her photo shared by Twitter user, Bra Kofi.

The stunning bride decided not to wear make-up on her wedding day, because her husband fell in love with her when she wasn’t wearing any.
Speaking to Naji.com Bisola said: “He saw me and fell in love with my natural look.”
She explained that her decision wasn’t for religious reasons and that she’s just not the make-up type.
“I don’t like any form of inconvenience or discomfort on my face, my neck and entire body. It is not a church thing, it is just me and my personal decision.”
While she obviously looks beautiful, the discussion surrounding the image is about whether other people would do the same.
Most of the comments have been extremely positive, praising her natural beauty and perfect complexion.

But much of the debate is from women stating whether they would do it on their wedding day.
I won't do that, my husband will see me without makeup 4ever after so on my special day I'll definitely wear full makeup.

Yes good for the beautiful bride. In 1973 I got married and I never wore any makeup.
