Having a boyfriend didn’t stop this bride from marrying the love of her life.
While all dressed in white on her big day, newlywed Rachel’s cheeks turned bloodshot red when the big-mouthed best man announced that they were once sweethearts.
“I just noticed the connection they had,” Dylan, the groom’s top pal, said of Rachel and new hubby, Foster, during his reception toast to a room full of the Oklahoma couple’s loved ones.
Footage of the shocking speech, which has scared up over 1.5 million TikTok views, was shared by wedding videographers @ByJoshandMare.
“The laughs they shared together, the way they looked at each other,” continued Dylan of Rachel and Foster.
“And you would think it sounds really romantic, but the only problem was I was dating Rachel at the time,” he announced to the crowd of 150 gobsmacked, yet giggling well-wishers.
It’s a revelation that really took the cake. However, it’s one that’s not all that unique.
Best men and bridesmaid have been known to blow the lid on past relationships with the man or lady of the hour.
In some cases, lovesick members of the bridal party have even spilled the beans on their secret affections for the bride or groom mere seconds after they’ve said “I Do.”
Bryant White confessed his inextinguishable flame for Desiree while toasting her nuptials to his ex-buddy. Bryant and Desiree are now happily married.
Heather Lynn, an October 2022 bride from North Carolina, caught a bridesmaid making a move on her hubby, Travis. Lynn noticed the woman groping her groom in their wedding pictures.
“I guess I’m getting a sister wife,” she joked online, prompting social media whistleblowers to urge her to get a divorce.
But it seems the tending love triangle between Dylan, Rachel and Foster isn’t all that scandalous.
“Dylan and Rachel dated when they were 15 and 16 years old and they were all part of this friend group that included the groom, Foster,” videographers Josh and Mare told People.
“The crowd loved it and erupted with laughter,” continued the camera crew. “Even the parents thought it was hysterical because they know it was all very innocent and they were very young.”
Virtual viewers, however, had mixed feelings about Dylan’s disclosure.
“Ewwww I do not think this is funny,” wrote an unimpressed commenter.
“He was happy that his joke got a good reaction, but you can tell that hurt him..,” said an empathetic onlooker.
“May these type of friends never find me,” another begged.
“OMG I love that he shamed the bride,” teased an amused watcher.
“What a good sport,” laughed another.
