A newlywed has told of her ‘rage and fury’ after opening a wedding gift from her husband’s groomsman that left her feeling queasy and uneasy.
After telling how the couple had only got married at the weekend and were still opening presents from their guests, she said the most recent gift had definitely not hit the wedding gift nail on the head.
“I have just opened the wedding gift he gave to us and I am literally beside myself,” she admitted, before revealing what her husband’s ‘creepy’ friend had done for the pair.

She continued: “He had written a note that said: ‘To my favourite couple, your husband was such a gross dude in college and always left his clipped nails all over the dorm. Guess who has been collecting them for eight years, almost as long as you two have been dating.”
The letter continued: “I added in some of my own and formed them into a brick structure. The hardness is because I included concrete glue. Now your husband won’t be able to forget his school days, and you will be the only bride in the US that has a fingernail paperweight.”
After signing off his wedding note with: ‘Hope you guys enjoy the laugh,” the new bride told how she was ‘shocked and stunned’ by the gross groomsman gesture: “I wish this was a joke. This is the grossest wedding gift I could even fathom and it’s on my kitchen table,” she said. “An aged yellow nail fell off onto my floor. It’s not funny and I honestly don’t know what my husband will say,” she said, asking Reddit readers for their reaction to her gift before saying: “Please comfort me? Someone?”
Readers were revolted on her behalf, with one saying: "That's beyond disgusting,” and another commenting: “Clipping your toenails and not throwing them out is bad, but it's several orders of magnitude better than collecting said clippings for 8 YEARS and making a SCULPTURE OUT OF THEM!” Another user said: “I would 100% gift it back to him and then move overseas.”
“This was all about the long game for this dude!” said one reader, before acknowledging: “Now it is all about payback for the groom, he really has to think about what he gets the guy for his wedding!” Another advised her to glitter bomb mail him, before one suggested: “I’d hold on to this then gift it back at his wedding.”
