I took off my shoes and stole the bride’s thunder at her wedding – she’s still mad at me for it decades later
A WOMAN has revealed how she upstaged a bride at her own wedding after she playfully removed her shoes.
She said that to this day — decades later — the married woman is still upset about the incident.
Redditor Ohiobornchick opened up about the drama in a post on the social media platform.
“I stole the bride’s thunder, during her wedding,” she wrote.
She explained that the wedding snafu occurred within her own family during her aunt and uncle’s ceremony.
Nearly 50 years have gone by, but the bride still won’t let her forget it.
WHAT HAPPENED?
The original poster explained that she was asked to be the flower girl at her aunt’s wedding when she was just 4 years old.
The chaos started early on in the matrimonial affair.
“First, I didn’t want to walk down the aisle,” she said. “I was scared apparently.
“Fortunately, my mom was a bridesmaid, so she said she would walk down with me.”
The Redditor recalled how she refused to throw the flower petals as her duties entailed, so her mother had to do it for her.
She was fine once she made it up the aisle, but not for long. She admitted that she started to get bored and act out.
“I proceeded to sit down and take off my ballet slippers. The audience was laughing,” she said.
“Then, to really show up the bride, I started waving to my twin cousins a few rows back. They are a year younger, and apparently were waving back, and we were trying to have a conversation.
“I’m now 51, and my aunt is still pissed at me for stealing her thunder.”
CROWD REACTION
Redditors weighed in on the childhood slip-up in the comments section.
“Wow that has to be some kind of record about holding a grudge,” one wrote.
“My own daughter shouted out at the point of asking if anyone had objections,” another added.
“Kids find ways to steal [the] spotlight.”
“That grudge is going to outlive the marriage,” said a third. “If it hasn’t already.”
“Going on 47 years this June,” the niece replied.
“That would crack me up,” one more said. “If you have kids at your wedding, prepare for kid-tasrophes.”
