My wedding day was supposed to be perfect – every detail meticulously planned, every moment cherished. But little did I know, my husband’s friends had other plans.
As I walked down the aisle, my heart racing with excitement, I locked eyes with Jacob, my soon-to-be husband. He was calm, smiling, and radiating love. Our friends and family surrounded us, beaming with joy.
Just as we began exchanging our vows, a commotion erupted from the back of the venue. A group of men, including Jacob’s best friend Derek, emerged, carrying a large, bow-topped coffin.
My stomach dropped. What was happening? Was this some twisted wedding gift or a cruel prank? Panic set in as I grasped Jacob’s hand, searching for reassurance.
The coffin was placed at our feet, and Derek, with a mischievous grin, opened the lid. Inside, a giant framed picture of Jacob lay, wrapped in a ribbon, with a mocking “gift” tag.
Initially shocked, I soon realized this was an outrageous practical joke. Jacob’s friends were “mourning” the loss of their bachelor friend, now “dead” to them.
Jacob swore he had no knowledge of the stunt, but his sheepish smile betrayed him. I was torn between laughter and annoyance, but the absurdity of it all won over.
As I burst into laughter, Jacob and our guests followed suit. The tension dissipated, replaced by carefree joy. This unorthodox interruption became an unforgettable part of our special day.
Derek justified the prank, saying, “We had to bid Jacob farewell properly.” Jacob chuckled, shaking his head, “You guys are ridiculous.”
I turned to Jacob, my heart overflowing with love and relief. Despite the chaos, our wedding day was perfect – a reflection of our love, humor, and friendship.
As Jacob kissed me, his eyes sparkling, I whispered, “I love you.” He replied, “I love you too.” Our wedding day would forever be etched in our memories, thanks to that outrageous coffin prank.
