An Australian judge has **annulled the marriage** of a couple after the bride claimed she believed the ceremony was simply an Instagram **prank**.
The **bride**, in her 20s, met the **groom** on a dating platform, and she was told to wear a white dress for what was presented as a **“white party.”**
Upon arrival, she learned the ceremony was real and part of the groom’s intent to promote his **social media** content.
The court found that the bride had been misled into thinking the marriage was not legally binding, and concluding, it was **not valid**.
Justice Joshua Wilson expressed disbelief about the quick progression from engagement to marriage, highlighting concerns over the **four-week plan** preceding the proposal.
