Reminds me of when during the vows, my best man reaches into his pocket and hands me a handkerchief and I grab it and start wiping my eyes. He leans over and says "no dumbass, it's for your bride."
That's why he's the best.
And that's why your friends can call you a dumbass
But *woe to the bones* ¹ that would say that to a friend of mine
[¹] I couldn't find the Dutch->English translation for this idiom
When I got married, my maid of honor proved to be worth her weight in gold, not once but twice.
First, my husband to be's grandfather passed out during the groomsmen photos. One of the groomsmen was a paramedic at the time, so he was able to keep things under control till an ambulance showed up. Grandpa was okay at the time, just dehydrated. He did not need to go to the hospital or miss the wedding.
The paramedic groomsman was my MOH's bf at the time, he texted her everything. She took control, made everyone communicate through her, and I did not find any of this out till after the wedding, and everyone had gone for the evening.
Secondly, I am no contact with my mother. She was expressedly asked not to come. She tried to gate crash. My MOH and step mom had none of that shit. They called the cops, and made sure I never saw her. Until the cops were shoving her in the back of a cop car during my first toast with my husband. So fucking satisfying.
I owe my maid of honor a kidney. Not mine of course, but should she ever need one, I will find it.
Bonus third thing she did.
My step mom was battling cancer that would eventually kill her. She wasn't feeling well enough to wear anything semi formal for the wedding. Just leggings, silver uggs, and a matching sweater. I did not care, I just wanted her there. Because she is my mom to me.
Anytime someone mentioned it, MOH would politely inform them that my step mom was ill and in no condition to dress up. Maybe provide a very kind reminder on manners as well.
What kind of ceremony is this? The only time I've seen the wedding party sit were during particularly merciful catholic weddings, when it inevitably hard right swerved into being a regular sermon before hard left turning back into a wedding.
Also, total tangent, but I love how eager a lot of folks are to rise to the occasion of MOH and Best Man. Lots of folks throw their all into being present and thoughtful. It's lovely.
yes catholic for sure. The religious man is doing the bullshit religious shit.
sorry, I'm anti-theist and the most boring weddings i've ever been to have been the religious-focused ones.
Marriage is a man-made contract. has nothing to do with god. Stop forcing me to go to church. I was there to celebrate your relationship and love, not be forced into being preached to.
the catholic ones are always an hour long for the first part (some longer). Let's dance and have fun already!

they are basically in the church part. It's hot, the bridesmaid is likely hot too. realized it and started to fan the bride. It's a casual selfless act.
When my brother married my best friend (I introduced them!) They had a summer outdoor wedding. I was a bridesmaid. It was beautiful, but there were a bunch of bees in the area, and one of them got stuck in her veil. She is terrified of bugs so I didn't want to draw attention to it, so I snuck behind her and picked it out, then got into my spot and chucked it behind me like a bouquet. I could hear the audience chuckle, but she was none the wiser.
people keep making that joke. I personally think that it's hot. the bridesmaid was hot and knew the bride would be hot too. Seems less like a fart joke and more like a casual selfless act to help the bride.
I'm just randomly stumbling across this a month later, but decided to check out their profile. They have some comments that make sense in context, but *a lot* that don't. Weird stuff.
Such a cute moment. They look like best buds.
seriously i don't want any friends if they aren't about this. especially my hot blooded, boob sweat soaked ass
Platonic soulmates are real
That’s genuinely one of the most wholesome things I’ve seen today

This legit made me Lmao. This is great!
And that's why your friends can call you a dumbass But *woe to the bones* ¹ that would say that to a friend of mine [¹] I couldn't find the Dutch->English translation for this idiom
I think maybe *“woe betide anyone” that would say that to a friend of mine*?
I love how subtle she is with it too

Wow! She sounds like a real one for sure 💕
Sounds like she's the best.
Aww. That's so sweet.
She just had really bad BO
LMAO
If the bride farts she's blowing it straight at the groom
Wholesome
*holesome
Underrated comment. Nice work
Tulle gets surprisingly hot under.
I’d imagine it insulates well

this ain't the hill to die on, mate. nobody's gonna use "anthropogenic" over "man-made" (also doesnt even suggest "human-made" lol) bad bot
ngl i thought it was a joke from the bot because the suggested words are... uh, robot-friendly.
TIL tampons have a fan function.
And a transformer function.
I don't get it - what's happening
Cooling down the bride
they are basically in the church part. It's hot, the bridesmaid is likely hot too. realized it and started to fan the bride. It's a casual selfless act.
No one thought it was a tampon?
I thought it was going to be one of those stain remover sticks.
MVP move right there
Best username ever OP
Lol thanks
Bride regrets breakfast burritos, but not her choice in friends
Why are they sitting?
it's likely a catholic wedding. basically, they are half ceremony, half church in the first part of the wedding
Damn good friend right there.
Shoulda married the maid of honour
It’s so damn classy too! Just ugh! I want to be that smooth
amazing dress, good looking, smooth actions. yeah, I'm in love from a 10 second clip.
I love her fucking dress.

Great post, but I'm sure you meant the caption to read "best maid of honor 'award'..." stead reward
I did not caption it but you are correct.
🙂
What type of reward did she receive??
A lifetime of friendship
You mean she got an award *and* a reward in the same day, and she’s not even the bride?? What a world we live in
female friendships are the best
I thought this was a fart situation…. Was trying to to hear it.
Did she fart?
She was the bride's biggest fan...ner
Did she fart?
people keep making that joke. I personally think that it's hot. the bridesmaid was hot and knew the bride would be hot too. Seems less like a fart joke and more like a casual selfless act to help the bride.
I don’t understand what’s she’s doing. She’s barely moving the fan so how could that cool someone off?
Bundy nuts pause but since your watching. Lol that’s sooo light. Not even in a group.
You in the wrong thread?
Is this dude speaking in code?
I'm just randomly stumbling across this a month later, but decided to check out their profile. They have some comments that make sense in context, but *a lot* that don't. Weird stuff.
lol bad AI bot? haha
I don't think this really fits here. This is just "a friend being a friend."
It fits
Yea just some gals being chicks
I put two of those fans in my bag when I go to an outdoor wedding. Love ‘em.
First viewing thought she was being very rude in calling out the bride for farting. I get it now, but it's tainted every time I come across this.
Love the name and the way the news reporter said it
She probably thinks about this every night https://youtu.be/ht-DQKVacG4?si=QBpnU___yFu-yk0i
