The wedding of Carly Friedman and Lyle Bienstock, both 30 years old, held on New Year’s Eve at Hudson House in Jersey City, had an awkward moment that later went viral.
After saying “I do,” the couple was walking toward the altar when 62-year-old Melanie Bienstock, the groom’s mother, accidentally stepped on the bride’s veil and tore it off completely. The moment was captured on video and shared on TikTok, where it surpassed 1.6 million views.
Although many users interpreted the incident as intentional, Carly explained that it was an accident caused by the emotion of the moment and that it never affected the family relationship.
