The viral photo had the bride seemingly “buried” under heaps of gold, from neck to wrists and over her face. The over-the-top display got a range of reactions online.
Shock and Admiration
Many were amazed by the gold amount and guessed about the bride’s family. Comments poured in, with people joking about how she carried all that gold.
Criticism and Skepticism
Others questioned why the wealth wasn’t turned into more useful gifts. Some doubted the photo’s authenticity, thinking it impossible to wear so much gold.
After much buzz, it turned out the viral photo was heavily edited.
A Product of Photoshop
The photo with the bride’s face hidden by gold bracelets was digitally doctored. The real image still had her in lots of gold, but her face was visible.
The Real Story
In the actual photos, the bride wore 60 gold bracelets from relatives. While that was still a lot, it was far less than the edited version.
