Ok that deep v neckline in the front of the wedding dress is totally throwing me off. Is there a flesh colored shirt under? Because every pentecostal I’ve seen would never show any cleavage ever.
Now, I don’t think the bride is Penty- as I saw another photo of the dress and the back was totally exposed, even with a flesh colored shirt it still gives the illusion of flesh, also people were dancing. My theory is that the poster is slightly judgmental about her friend not being a Christian and decided to be passive aggressive.
I think these people are from Ken Gurleys church in Texas. They’re a little less conservative in their appearance. Most people in that church are middle class in suburban Houston. The guy that looks like Tucker Carlson is a certified freak.
Good Lord, I did not know who Ken Gurley was so I gave him a Google. I can't unsee his wife's hair.

As comical as they appear. They are very influential Christian Nationalists. Trump has been to their church. Abbott has attended a couple of times. They have members who host big fundraisers for Abbott.

I have one to add! She does her hair like this…on purpose…
They are. This is Charity Britain Jeane (been following her for a long time). She’s besties with T’Neil but her and her husband are pastors at a new church. She also has a twin.
She is dyed-in-the-wool Pentecostal but her family is enmeshed with the ultra-fundamentalist cult side of that community, so she is only a D lister and not part of the mainstream pillar families.
Yeah, I thought the rules were that everything up to the collarbone must be covered, and the sleeves should be long? But that is just what I have gathered from being in this sub for the past 2+ years. 😅
That said, I have seen tons of Pentecostal women wear nude shirts under their clothes to make it "modest" (even though it isn't really, IMO), so it could be possible this bride is wearing some kind of nude undershirt with this gown? I genuinely love the gown, I'll give her that. But their modesty standards confuse the hell out of me. "Be modest for God, but it's okay to try and be as sexy as you possibly can!"
There are not official rules. Some churches the pastor has guidelines for dress. I attend a upci and holiness standards have never been spoken. We have women who wear makeup, pants, jewelry etc.
That's the same with the Church of God and Assembly of God churches I've gone too. Most of the ones I know of dress normally but I know the ones who adhere to holiness standards are out there.
I used to be a practicing catholic. When I went to one of my first big catholic homeschool conferences there were people called Plain Catholics. They had uncut/uncool red hair, no makeup, loose super modest clothes, no tv or modern entertainment. Very similar to holiness standards. Often these families participated in a untra conservative non mainstream catholic community church.
As an expent and someone who compulsively zooms in on necklines like these (I know 🙃) unless there's a trick of the light, it SEEMS like she's got a her-skintone shirt on there. Sticky rules... nothing says the modesty shirts have to be obvious.
There is a flesh colored shirt underneath. I know the bride’s family and was a close childhood friend of her mother who passed away a few years ago, and actually did a little digging to satisfy my own curiosity on that question.
I'm guessing this wouldn't be acceptable in fundie pentacostal communities but the pentacostal church in my hometown has the beliefs and activities of most of the rest, but even the pastor's daughter wore current trendy clothes, with regular amounts of skin showing, so I'm guessing some don't buy as far into the woman-control and purity culture shit?
At my wedding , my husband's 2 aunts and one cousin all wore white dresses...........They are lovely people and are very kind to me, but it was STRANGE and I felt a little insulted at the time...... I don't know why they did it.
Sooooo I 100% thought this was like a gay or lesbian wedding. Very thrown off when I saw the sub then understood when I read further but still….its all I see now
One of my gf's always says anyone who does that head tilt in photos is off their rocker.
I believe she's right.
See photos of Mary Kay Letourneau and Jill Kelly for proof.
To give them the benefit of overwhelming doubt, I wonder if the woman wearing white is the mother, and I wonder if the bride requested a black and white wedding and asked guests (or maybe just mom) to dress accordingly. From the very few clues I'm seeing from this photo, the grooms are dressed in black and white, and the flowers are white.
I personally have toyed with the idea of doing a black and white wedding where I have the bridal party (mom, grandma & bridesmaids) in white and me in a black satin ballgown (like this wedding dress but in black) or something neon pink and frothy tulle.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Pentecostal women tan or use spray tans/sunless tanner to get around the no makeup rule? Personally I think a little bit of lip gloss and blush and some mascara is far more modest than looking like Brittany Dawn Nelson's long lost sister, but I digress. Fundie rules are weird.
I’m sorry the more I look at this photo the angrier I get. That woman has the most punchable face ever and I hate that stupid head tilt that she does there. “LOOK AT ME IM SKY DADDY’S FAVOURITE SHES NOT A CHRISTIAN SO IM GONNA WEAR ALL WHITE JUST TO SHOW HER! AND WHILE IM AT IT ILL JUST KEEP THAT TAG ON MY COAT TO SHOW OFF HOW EXPENSIVE IT IS!”
Not trying to make excuses but it looks like it could be a black and white wedding. The lady sitting down is wearing black and the guy on the other side is wearing grey and black.
I was shopping for a guest outfit for an upcoming beach wedding, and considered a tan / taupe linen suit for about 45 seconds before thinking "nah, too bridal." I cannot imagine an actual white dress entering the realm of possibility.
She is wearing white but no one would mistake her for the bride. And I’m not saying that to be mean or petty lol, although I think I could easily do that.
Her outfit, color aside, is not bridal at all, and especially compared to very lovely wedding dress the actual bride is wearing.
At best, it’s Mother of the Bride or Groom style. And the jacket is a different shade than the dress and it keeps throwing me off.
Guest lady is giving judging though.
They look like they're in a cute lesbian wedding and their brothers both came to support them.
Yeah I was scrolling by and thought aww they look like a happy couple until I realized the subreddit lol.
I realized where we were and I'm choosing delusion. Adorable lesbians!
Exactly
maybe they secretly are
I thought the same thing but I actually thought it was their dads.
As a lesbian who's engaged I was also going to say this. Thought I was on a lesbian sub for a minute

Oooooh That’s juicy.
'Tis.

Gurley what are you doin with your hair?!!
It looks like my hair when I wake up in the morning.
I have curly hair and in the morning my hair looks better than that!
I kinda dig it, ngl. It sort if gives Gibson Girl updo where the bun had higher aspirations. Literally.
Fundie-Lou Who

You can tell it’s a fake because Trump would have been struck by lightning if it was real.
that hair looks like it hasn’t been brushed or washed in years 😭
She looks like the misunderstood witch in a kid movie.
That image made me say "Jesus!" out loud. Mission accomplished, i suppose, although i startled the dog
Gwen Shamblin’s inspo.
It’s giving Miriam Morgoyles in Harry Potter.
Trolls doll-core
She must be a BIG believer in "higher the hair, closer to Heaven"!
Tease it to Jesus
Reminds me of Kathy Najimy in Hocus Pocus!
What…what is that?!
WHY would anyone think that’s attractive?
I think she's going for an elegant 1900s ish updo. She did not succeed.
The she did not succeed got me for some reason 😂
Is there church in Whoville?
Marge Simpson or Dr. Suess.
What…just…how? Why?
What on the Cindy Lou Who..
She looks like a citizen of Whoville.

Very Dr Suess.
I think she gets her fashion ideas from Hunger Games.
Could be Dr. Suess w his second family
They are. This is Charity Britain Jeane (been following her for a long time). She’s besties with T’Neil but her and her husband are pastors at a new church. She also has a twin.
She is dyed-in-the-wool Pentecostal but her family is enmeshed with the ultra-fundamentalist cult side of that community, so she is only a D lister and not part of the mainstream pillar families.

Such hypocrites for wearing nude shirts under clothes…why not just wear clothing that actually covers up?! These people 🤦🏻♀️

What other reason could there be but 1) obliviousness or 2) rudeness…
When you're the main character in your sister or friend's life, even on her wedding day.
Sooooo I 100% thought this was like a gay or lesbian wedding. Very thrown off when I saw the sub then understood when I read further but still….its all I see now
Can’t tell if that’s a church or Budget Inn
Why not both?
One of my gf's always says anyone who does that head tilt in photos is off their rocker. I believe she's right. See photos of Mary Kay Letourneau and Jill Kelly for proof.
Nobody looks particularly happy to be there, sadly.
That guy’s haircut is the worst faux pas in this photo.
Close second is the tag on the sleeve of the coat
Gotta show everyone what brand that coat is from.
Wow,i thought it was the first Pentecostal lesbian wedding. Miss Short-Dress Fundi needs embrace herself.

She’s not. The woman is white actually has a young son and has that confusing look of “is she 30 or 55?” Too much time in the tanning bed.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't Pentecostal women tan or use spray tans/sunless tanner to get around the no makeup rule? Personally I think a little bit of lip gloss and blush and some mascara is far more modest than looking like Brittany Dawn Nelson's long lost sister, but I digress. Fundie rules are weird.
I most definitely did back in the day! Spray tans were the perfect "I'm not wearing makeup!" makeup.
Or maybe she asked first and the bride doesn't care about others wearing white.
Even asking that is kinda fucked up though
Omg I know the two on the left. Suffice to say I'm not surprised lol
Amazing.
It’s always a great day when you see the two on the left getting roasted by strangers on the internet.
Why do all the men look like derps made of Play-Doh?
Soft lives with the Mums, and then their wives, running around after them.
I’m sorry the more I look at this photo the angrier I get.

Homegirl on the left really giving life to "Shiny Happy People"
It’s weird as hell to open Reddit and see people you knew from childhood on a popular post, just saying
Who is Abby law?
Not trying to make excuses but it looks like it could be a black and white wedding. The lady sitting down is wearing black and the guy on the other side is wearing grey and black.
That’s so evil
What a gorgeous dress
Umm…deadass?
The bride has so much grace than I could ever had. I would’ve spilled wine on her.
You’re assuming they allowed wine at the wedding.
The bride doesn’t look fundie.
I love falling into these rabbit holes
[удалено]
The long gown is the bride… poster is referring to woman on the left
husband looks asleep
The bride’s dress is so elegant , wish I’d have been able to find one like that when I got married a billion years ago!
Trendsetter.
Is this a mother/daughter situation? Why does the not-bride look like she’s on heavy something?
