'Moye Moye' Gone Wrong: Desi Friends Teasing Groom With Sad Meme Leaves Internet in Bad Taste

Indian weddings are a riot of fun and drama, especially when the groom’s squad gets into the act, turning the entire celebration into a carnival of playful trolling. While jesting about how the groom’s carefree days are about to become ancient history post-marriage is a customary part of any typical brown wedding, a recent attempt by a group of friends to tease the groom using the viral ‘Moye Moye’ meme left a rather bitter taste on the internet. It wasn’t all laughs and giggles; the underlying notion earned an immediate thumbs down across social media.

The incident unfolded in a video capturing the moment when the groom and bride exchanged garlands, accompanied by the sound of boys, assumed to be the groom’s friends, humming ‘Moye Moye’ in the background. While the groom sported an embarrassed smile, the bride’s swift eye roll conveyed her disapproval, as the meme typically represents sadness, drama, and despair – characteristics often humourously associated with the grooms post-marriage.

Here’s the Video:

As the video gained traction, critics swiftly weighed in, denouncing such antics that seemed to humiliate couples, particularly the brides. One user criticised, “Good with memes but this is in absolutely bad taste. This is once in a lifetime thing and the friends just ruined it for fun, reducing the girl to be labelled as all his problems.”

Another empathised, “Bechaari ladki..her expression shows how sad she was on hearing the comments. Why can’t they just be happy with their friends decision to get married?”

A third voice disapproved, stating, “I really really detest friends of the couple creating scenes at weddings. You’re invited to have a good time, not make it all about you. Really pathetic behaviour.”

A fourth recounted a peculiar incident, sharing, “People do or say all kinds of wierd and senseless things at the weddings. Once at a wedding some friends gifted a collar and a leash to the couple on stage. I personally detest such actions.”

While some defended the incident as harmless banter not to be taken seriously, the overall vibe suggests that if even the bride disapproves, there’s definitely a ‘big’ problem with the whole affair, don’t you agree?
