Ocheido shared beautiful pictures from her wedding via Twitter, but the caption upset some people.
In the caption, the excited Nigerian Bride said she didn’t need to show a lot of skin to look beautiful, not even on her wedding day.
“I don’t need to be naked to be beautiful 🥰🥰🥰 Even on my wedding day!!!!!” she wrote.
This has sparked reactions online. Some people agreed with Ocheido and said it’s okay to dress modestly for your wedding.
Many people thought Ocheido shouldn’t have put down other brides on her wedding day. They pointed out that her day should be about celebrating her marriage, not criticizing other people’s choices.
Others said everyone should be able to choose their own wedding outfit, without being judged.
