What are best friends for if not for pulling off hilarious pranks that end in unforgettable moments? While a baby’s christening is usually a solemn event, one clever dad found a way to inject some fun into the occasion.
In a recent post on Reddit, a user named Oliver recounted how he convinced his best friend, Jake, that his son’s christening would be a costume party. Little did Oliver know, Jake took him at his word and showed up in full knight regalia—chain mail and all!
“Three weeks before the event, we were just hanging out, and out of nowhere, I mentioned that the christening would have a twist: it would be a costume party!” Oliver shared. He expected a typical response like, “You’ve got to be kidding!” but was instead met with a suspicious glance.
As the two friends discussed potential costumes, they even joked about going as classic characters. Oliver believed Jake had caught on to the joke, but the day of the christening proved otherwise when Jake arrived dressed as a valiant knight.
“I couldn’t stop laughing when he walked into the church!” Oliver exclaimed.
To add to the hilarity, Jake’s girlfriend was mortified and refused to be in any photos, frequently asking him when they could leave. Despite the awkwardness, it turned out that Oliver’s mom thought Jake was part of the entertainment and even posed for a few pictures with him.
