What are best friends for if not for a little playful trickery at family events? While christenings are typically solemn occasions, one clever dad discovered a way to add some unexpected fun to the day.
In a lighthearted post on Reddit, a user named Jamie shared how he convinced his best friend that his son’s christening would double as a costume party. Initially, Jamie thought his friend would catch on to the joke—but the reality was far more entertaining than he anticipated.
“Three weeks before the big day, we were just hanging out when I casually mentioned, ‘Oh, by the way, the christening will be a costume party!’” Jamie recounted. “I expected him to roll his eyes and call me a clown, but he just looked at me, a bit skeptical.”
The two friends even joked about dressing up as Rocksteady and Bebop from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Jamie thought for sure his friend had figured out the prank, but he didn’t give it another thought until the day of the christening.
To Jamie’s surprise, his best friend arrived dressed as a full-blown knight, chain mail and all! “I couldn’t stop laughing when I saw him walk into the church!” Jamie said, clearly enjoying the moment.
Adding to the hilarity, the friend’s girlfriend was mortified and tried to hide from the camera, constantly asking him when they could leave. “She was so embarrassed, it was priceless!” Jamie noted.
Despite the awkwardness, it was all in good fun—Jamie’s mom even thought the knight was an entertainer and insisted on taking pictures with him. While we may not see a trend of costume christenings emerging anytime soon, this particular event will surely be remembered for years to come.
