Groom joked he would marry her even in a trash bag — so she walked down the aisle wearing one

Imagine telling your girlfriend that you would marry her even if she turned into an insect, and then you realize she took it so seriously that she walked down the aisle all dressed up as a mosquito. Sounds like a fictional story from some kids' comic book, right? But what if we told you something similar actually happened at a real wedding? Well, Sarah Louise Coe, a wedding photographer who goes by @countlesscaptures1 on TikTok, shared a hilarious video of a bride named Sarah walking down the aisle in a garbage bag, just because her husband had once joked about it.

Sarah's husband, Gareth, had once told her that he would marry her even if she wore a trash bag, and this explains why the bride decided to test his loyalty on their wedding day. And guess what? Gareth, still madly in love with his lady luck, said 'yes,' welcoming her goofy, playful stunt with open arms. In the video that their wedding photographer, Coe, describes as a moment she won't forget, Sarah was seen walking to the altar while wearing an outfit that resembled a garbage bag. The minute Sarah entered the venue, all guests, including her dear husband, were stunned, because, of course, watching a bride dressed up as a garbage bag is not something people usually witness, right?

Meanwhile, Gareth, the groom, looked up in total disbelief, perhaps thinking about his impulsive, lighthearted statement that literally made his bride put him to the test. However, as Coe shared with Newsweek, Sarah, after surprising everyone, especially Gareth, with her bizarre outfit, ripped it off at the end, revealing her real wedding dress. "They wanted a relaxed and fun ceremony with just parents and their children present. It was a very intimate ceremony between them both, with raw emotions, and it was a pleasure for me to be a part of their day," she added. Sarah's gesture on her big day and her loving husband's reaction to her prank may seem too small on the surface, but in reality, they revealed something far more beautiful about their relationship. The little moment not only highlighted Gareth's love for Sarah but also revealed the deep friendship they have, and of course, their emotional connection.

While Sarah's prank might have made you roll on the floor laughing, let's explore something equally interesting, i.e., statistics on how most men and women are different when it comes to spending on their wedding attire. As per a report in Civic Science, women generally prefer going to local boutiques, while men, on the other hand, choose department stores for their wedding outfits. Further, the report claims that women are more likely than men to spend $100 or less on their wedding outfits. Now, remember, this can be because of the increasing availability of lower-cost wedding outfits in online stores or dress rental companies. Notably, around 51% of women intend to spend not more than $500 on their gown, as shared by the report.
