“Self-Absorbed” Mother-in-Law Criticized for Bikini Outfit at Daughter’s Wedding

A mother’s choice of attire at her daughter’s wedding sparked heated discussions online. The woman, Paulina, opted for a bikini underneath a sheer dress, igniting controversy over her outfit selection.

Originally, Paulina intended to wear a white gown to the wedding of her 28-year-old daughter and Taiwanese actress Jin Cheng. However, after her daughter requested she not overshadow the bride, the 57-year-old decided on a crystal mesh cover-up over a blue bikini instead, as reported by the Daily Star.

The internet quickly reacted to Paulina’s fashion choice, with many condemning it as inappropriate for a wedding. Comments ranged from, “That’s so inappropriate to wear underwear at a wedding,” to “The outfit is not appropriate for a wedding, I can’t imagine what the mother of the bride would say about this!”

Other comments included, “You’re not the bride, and that’s not elegant at all,” and “If I were the bride, I’d be furious.” Some questioned the context, asking, “Why would you wear a bikini to a wedding? You’re not at the beach, and you’re the mother of the groom.”

Despite the backlash, some users praised Paulina for her appearance at 57. One commented, “Oh that’s so hot and she’s 57?” while another said, “If you’ve got it, flaunt it.”

Jin Cheng and her partner, Aky Niwa, selected April 26 for their wedding to mark the fourth anniversary of their first meeting. Reflecting on her previous views on marriage, Jin shared, “I originally didn’t want to get married. When my mother got divorced, I thought marriage was a hell and a grave. But I was very happy with Aky. She proposed to me twice, once on a train, so I agreed.”

Jin added, “We are getting better and better. We do everything together, even take baths together. Now, we only have to go to the toilet alone.”

Paulina defended her bikini choice, explaining she wore it because her daughter asked her not to upstage the bride. Jin’s mother expressed her joy for the couple’s closeness, noting, “They didn’t shy away from holding hands and kissing in front of me. It was so good that I was a little jealous.”

On the wedding day, Jin’s mother spoke about her daughter’s sexuality, revealing she had known Jin was gay since her early teens. “I am very open-minded. Society is different now. I knew my daughter was gay when she was 13,” she said. She recalled advising her daughter, “As long as you don’t do anything harmful to society, and girls understand girls better, it’s pretty good.”

Jin and Aky frequently share moments from their relationship on Instagram, celebrating their wedding with gratitude. In an April 26 post, Jin thanked her mother and everyone involved in their special day: “Dear friends and family, thank you so much for coming to our special day and sharing this happiness with us. Your presence makes this moment even more special and memorable.”

She continued, “First of all I want to thank our mom for supporting us all the time, without you, without us. Thank you also to all the staff friends who came to help with our wedding, without you we would still be home for breakfast.”

Jin concluded with marital advice, “To keep the wedding perfect, admit it whenever you do something wrong. Whenever you are right, shut up! Thank you everyone, bless you all! Full of love.”

Another post by Aky echoed the sentiment of being “crazy in love,” stating, “Is it crazy to stay in a foreign country, on the other side of the world, still not be able to speak the language and no idea what the future brings? Obviously sounds crazy… crazy in love!”

She said, “With you, I can make the impossible possible, turn challenges into ease, and bring dreams to life. Life has never been easy for me, but if enduring it all led me to you, then it was worth it.”

The mother’s choice of attire sparked mixed reactions, with some feeling she stole the spotlight from the newlyweds, while others thought she looked stunning and confident.
