Wedding after wedding, Twitter always finds something interesting to zoom into and make a mockery out of and last night it was the OPW couple's maths skills that had viewers in a frenzy.

Mildred and Eric’s love story began way back in 1979 and they revealed that they were actually childhood sweethearts and almost three decades later were tying the knot.

Twitter also didn't seem too happy that the bridal couple had to put on their church badges with the wedding attire.
