In a delightful twist during a wedding celebration, a maid of honor found a way to make her best friend’s special day even more memorable. Instead of the usual “maid-of-dishonor” fate that often befalls those who pull pranks on the bride and groom, this clever Canadian maid of honor collaborated with the bride to create a series of entertaining photobombs.
Emily and Daniel Richards, a lovely couple from Alberta, Canada, were in the midst of their wedding photo session when the photographer suggested capturing some veil toss shots. This is when Emily’s best friend and maid of honor, Lisa Thompson, decided to take the moment to the next level. As the photographer Ashley Miller recounts, “It was an incredibly hot day, around 36 degrees Celsius (96 Fahrenheit), and we were trying to get some classic shots of just the couple. Lisa suddenly exclaimed, ‘Let’s do a shot of me tossing her veil!’ It struck me as unusual, but I went along with it.”
To everyone’s surprise, the groom, Daniel, was completely oblivious to the unfolding antics. “Daniel had no clue what was about to happen, but he has always appreciated their playful nature,” Miller explained. The bridal party initially watched in confusion as Lisa began her dramatic veil toss, complete with exaggerated grunts and facial expressions. But once everyone caught on to the playful spirit, laughter erupted, and Miller struggled to keep her camera steady amidst the hilarity.
The poses that ensued were spontaneous and filled with personality, even though the idea had been in the works for two years. “We were inspired by a funny photo we saw together and knew we had to recreate it,” Lisa shared in an interview. “It was a long time coming!”
Miller noted how the two friends constantly supported each other, even during the pre-wedding preparations. The photos quickly gained popularity on social media, with many admiring their friendship and dubbing them #friendshipgoals. As Miller humorously remarked, “These are the kind of friends who will still be pulling pranks on each other in a nursing home!”
