My mother ruined my wedding portrait by pointing out a rude detail I hadn't seen before
By AYAAT YASSIN-KASSAB
A newlywed has revealed how her favourite wedding snap was 'ruined' in an instant - thanks to her mother's cheeky observation.
TikToker Sophie Jo posted the seemingly innocent image online, after her mother burst her bubble of post-nuptial bliss.
The bride had been proudly admiring the romantic photo, which shows her beaming as her husband dramatically lifts her in his arms in a pose not unlike a dance move.
With her head thrown back and a big smile on her face, Sophie was convinced the shot perfectly captured the joy of her big day, until her mother took a closer look and spotted something less romantic.
In the viral clip, Sophie tells viewers: 'My mum has literally ruined one of my wedding pictures for me.
'It's a picture I really loved. I thought it was a really lovely picture - one of my favourites.
'I was very excited by it and then my mum pointed out something about it that she thought looked a bit rude.
'So I looked at the photo and now I'm afraid that I won't be able to unsee it and therefore it will forever be ruined.'

Sophie quoted her mother, who said the husband looks like he's 'rooting around in her undercarriage'
Sophie then invited her followers to investigate and see if they could spot anything untoward. 'We'll have a look together,' she says, before showing the image on screen.
She added: 'I don't know what your initial thoughts were. Maybe you initially think it looks a bit rude too, or maybe when I tell you what my mum said it looks like, you won't be able to unsee it.
'My mum said it looks like he's, and I quote, 'rooting around in my undercarriage.'
The photo could well lend itself to the interpretation. The bride's flowing white gown is fanned out in such a way that it hides her husband's hand - leaving the viewer to speculate where, exactly, his arm is going.
Combined with Sophie's ecstatic expression, the result is a shot that is rather difficult to unsee.
'And my facial expressions don't help that accusation either apparently,' Sophie says. 'Do you see it? Because I'm afraid I do too, now.
'I can assure you that's not what's going on in the picture, just to clarify, but I'm afraid I can't unsee it now and it's ruined so thank you for that, mum, very much appreciate that.'
Despite the unfortunate illusion, the bride's followers were quick to rally behind her, with many insisting the photo remained just as lovely as she first believed until she spelled it out.
Although many immediately laid eyes on the blunder, the majority of commenters were supportive
One wrote: 'I do see it, because I was looking for something like that, having your words in mind, your mother making a remark.
'At first glance I saw a playful, beautiful picture of two people in love. and yes I can unsee the first because I choose to see the playful, happy couple.'
Another agreed: 'Neh.... you cannot stand like that without him holding your leg up ..and his arms are not that long that he can reach what you think he is reaching. So no, for me it's just a lovely photo.'
A third commenter joked: 'I have a filthy mind by profession and reputation and I honestly didn't see it in either image.'
Others, however, couldn't resist a giggle at the suggestive framing. 'That cracked me up,' one viewer wrote, while another chimed in with: 'Your mum's not wrong.'
One follower added: 'I agree that's the first thing I saw,' while another quipped: 'No wonder you're smiling.'
Still, the overwhelming majority reassured Sophie that the picture remained a joyful, light-hearted memento of a special moment, and that her mum's comment was just a harmless observation. Perhaps the photo stands as the test of a dirty mind.
