Bride discovers horrific secret about groom on day of wedding, what she did next will shock you

From dealing with entitled brides, grooms and their families to all the hoops they have to jump to give couples the wedding of their dreams, wedding planners and make-up artists have seen it all. One beauty professional tells of how while assisting a bride to go use the loo one last time before the ceremony starts, they walked in on the groom being breastfed by his mother.

Shocking discovery

According to the Mirror, the make-up artist whose name has only been given as Jenny, related the story to her colleague, Georgie Mitchell while the two worked together on a separate event.

As juicy stories go, Georgie shared the revelation on an episode of the comedy podcast Unfiltered Bride, co-hosted by Beth. When asked to guess what the bride walked in on her groom doing, Beth run through a list of assumptions such as cheating, doing drugs, but nothing as outrageous as what really happened in that loo.

[The bride] walked into the toilet and what she saw is enough to end a wedding. He was being breastfed by his mum. I don't think she (bride) knew that was what was happening!.

Breastfeeding without giving birth

You may be wondering if it’s possible to breastfeed when one is not pregnant or haven’t given birth recently. The answer is yes, according to an article on La Leche League International.

In that piece, Alyssa Schnell an International Board Certified Lactation Consultant explained that throughout history, women have been known to breastfeed children they had not given birth to. This is because milk production can happen through stimulation of the brain and breast.

The only necessary component to induce lactation—the official term for making milk without pregnancy and birth—is to stimulate and drain the breasts. That stimulation or emptying can happen with baby breastfeeding, with an electric breast pump, or using a variety of manual techniques.

She added that it is not necessary for one to be fertile or even to have ovaries or a uterus to breastfeed.
