Ngwenya sees Sithole-like recovery for injured Banyana star
'If the foot was not on the ground, perhaps the break could have been avoided,' Ngwenya said. SAFA Chief Medical Officer and CAF Medical Committee Vice-President, Dr Thulani Ngwenya, remains optimistic about Gabriela Salgado's chances of making a full recovery following the serious leg injury she sustained at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations. Salgado's Banyana injury Salgado suffered a broken leg during Banyana Banyana's semi-final defeat to Nigeria on Tuesday evening. The 27-year-old has since undergone successful surgery in Morocco. Dr Ngwenya likened the nature of her injury to that of Bafana Bafana midfielder Sphephelo Sithole, who was sidelined last September with a career-threatening injury. ALSO READ: Pirates confirm Lepasa exit Sithole also suffered a leg break during South Africa's 3-2 win over South Sudan in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier. He has since recovered and is ready to return to competitive football ahead of the new season in Portugal. 'It is a complete leg break. When she went up, her foot was firmly in the ground and because of that, there was a heavy force from the Nigerian athlete on her. If the foot was not on the ground, perhaps the break could have been avoided,' Ngwenya said on Radio 2000. 'This is also most common for female athletes because of the bone density. The bone density is very low for female athletes because of their cycle and that's why we always advocate for good nutrition to strengthen the bone and ligaments. 'Remember that we have also seen it with Sphephelo during an AFCON qualifier, he suffered the same injury and had to be transported back to South Africa to be operated on and he's back in action. With Gabby I'm confident that she will recover. 'Similar to Yaya' 'When they come back (to South Africa) on Monday, we'll start with the rehabilitation process and within six months, Gabby will be back playing again. Yes, she will be out for four to six months. I can almost guarantee you and the entire nation that she will come back because she's only 27. It was almost similar to Yaya Sithole and they are almost the same age. ALSO READ: OPINION: Bloemfontein Celtic identity crisis: revival or rivalry? 'Yaya is playing again now and ready to be selected. We almost had a similar injury with Refiloe Jane and she's back playing even though it was ligaments. We had an incident with Thembi Kgatlana and she's playing so I will trust the medical expertise that are there in South Africa who will make sure that Gabby is back.'

If You Buy One Dress This Summer, Make It This Dissh Midi
As a summer person, my wardrobe goes hand-in-hand with Australian fashion brands. Being blessed with year-round sunshine, of course we can count on the Aussies to know how to create the best summer pieces. The thing is, though, sometimes my favourite labels come with a heavy shipping fee, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out one of my forever favourites, Dissh, was going to be stocked in the UK for the first time at Selfridges. Since spring, I've made the monthly pilgrimage to Bond Street (anyone who's travelled on the Central Line during a heatwave will know why this is an achievement) to see what the celebrity-loved brand has in the 'new in' section, and I can safely say I've never been disappointed. And it seems I'm not the only one, as there's one summer dress I can't stop seeing every time I go to a coffee shop, for a mooch in town or on my morning social scroll. Let me introduce you – or most likely, reintroduce you – to the 'Gabby' dress. So popular, the brown style sold out within days on both the Australian Diish site and at Selfridges, but I'm here to share the news that it's back – in all sizes. So, what's so great about it? ©Instagram/@sarahwisted The 100% cotton midi dress has an A-line shape, perfect for hot weather days when you want to avoid clothing sticking to your skin. The V-neck design with gathered detail is flattering on all chest sizes, the thicker straps mean you can wear your usual bra with it and it has pockets! No wonder it's selling out each and every time it gets restocked. According to the fashion insiders I keep seeing, chocolate brown is the most popular colour in the Gabby dress. Luckily, though, Dissh has recognised the demand and has already created it in soft sky blue (the new colour du jour) along with classic white. And if you want even more good news, you better keep reading. Shop: Dissh's Gabby Cotton Poplin Midi Dress In Brown The viral Gabby Dissh dress has not only been restocked in all colours, there's also a brand new shade to add to the collection this month: butter yellow. Yes, everyone is still very much on the soft shade hype, so I can imagine this is going to have the same sell-out power as the brown iteration. And for another sprinkling of good news from me, there's a mini version of this dream summer dress, and it comes in all four colours – brown, white, blue and yellow – yes, really! Shop: Dissh's Gabby Cotton Poplin Midi Dress In Yellow Dissh Gabby Cotton Poplin Midi Dress In Yellow View offer So chic –I would style this yellow version with jelly sandals and a straw bag for daytime and switch to red shoes and a snake print bag for after-dark. View offer Shop the mini Gabby dress below, along with some of my other favourite Dissh summer dresses, and they're all available at Selfridges, so you can also go in and try them IRL. P.S., I've tried on everything from jeans and linen shorts to dresses, and it's refreshing to find a brand that's actually true to size. P.p.s, luckily, Australian sizing is the same as UK (so a 10 is a 10), which makes it even easier to shop. Shop: More Dissh Summer Dresses Dissh Gabby Bitter Plunge-Neckline Cotton-Poplin Mini Dress Price: £175 View offer If a midi dress isn't your thing (personally, I'm partial to dresses in all lengths) then you'll be pleased to know the Gabby dress everyone either owns, or wants, comes in a mini version too. Also in the four colours (brown, blue, yellow and white) I tried on the sky blue style and I love how it looks with a tan. Price: £175 View offer Dissh Max Semi-Sheer Knitted Mini Dress Price: £205 View offer So, I originally saw this knit mini dress on one of my favourite fashion insiders on Insta (@nlmarilyn) and I was sold by the black version. That was until I saw the white style, that it, and now I'm left with the hardest decision – either way, though, I'll be styling it with a low waist belt just like Marilyn. Price: £205 View offer Dissh Florence Shirred Cotton Midi Dress Price: £205 View offer Got an al fresco lunch on the cards? Wear a black dress. Plan to have after-work drinks? Opt for a black dress. It never fails, which is why everyone can wax lyrical about the LBD. But, if you want a style that's ever versatile then it's midi dress. I love the textured racer top detail on this Dissh version. Price: £205 View offer Dissh Melrose Spot-Print Long-Sleeve Maxi Dress Price: £255 View offer Another one I've been saving on my Insta is this Melrose pretty polka dot maxi dress. I love how the sheer dress has a removable slip – I would keep it on for dinner and also style the dress without the underneath layer to add over swimwear for a holiday look that feels different to the usual crochet beach dress vibe. Price: £255 View offer Dissh Tahlia Pleated Woven Midi Dress Price: £215 View offer In the same shade of blue that the viral Gabby Dissh dress comes in, I also enjoy this strappy style with its pleated top detail giving that 2025 dropped-hem dress vibe we've been seeing a lot of. I'm only 5'4' so I know this would be a maxi for me, but this makes me like it even more. Price: £215 View offer Dissh Liora Boat-Neck Cotton Maxi Dress Price: £195 View offer The neckline on this black dress is basically a work of art, isn't it? Like I've said earlier, a black dress is one of the most timeless and versatile colours to go for so you'll wear this one on heavy rotation from here on out. Price: £195 View offer Main image credits: ©Instagram/@thealiceedit

'Stunning' Ohio State Cheerleader Grabs Attention With Offseason Photo
'Stunning' Ohio State Cheerleader Grabs Attention With Offseason Photo originally appeared on The Spun. A "stunning" Ohio State Buckeyes cheerleader grabbed attention with her offseason photo this week. The Ohio State Buckeyes football team is gearing up for the 2025 season. Ohio State had a magical ride in 2024, of course. The Buckeyes went 10-2 in the regular season, losing to Oregon and Michigan, the latter of which sparked "fire Ryan Day!" calls. But Ohio State rebounded in a major way in the College Football Playoff. Ohio State, the No. 8 seed, topped Tennessee at home, Oregon in the Rose Bowl, Texas in the Cotton Bowl and then Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff national championship game. The Buckeyes lost a lot of elite talent to the NFL this offseason, including quarterback Will Howard, wide receiver Emeka Egbuka and a host of defensive standouts. But Ohio State is still expected to contend for both a Big Ten championship and College Football Playoff spot in 2025. Meanwhile, a stunning Ohio State Buckeyes cheerleader is trending ahead of Week 1. A second-year Ohio State Buckeyes cheerleader is trending for her offseason photo shared to Instagram. Gabby, a second-year cheerleader for the Ohio State Buckeyes, is ready for the 2025 season. "Repping scarlet white and blue this year ❤️🌰," she wrote earlier in July. Ohio State opens the 2025 regular season in big-time fashion. The Buckeyes and the Texas Longhorns are scheduled to open the year on Saturday, Aug. 30. Kickoff for that game is scheduled for noon E.T. It'll air live on FOX. 'Stunning' Ohio State Cheerleader Grabs Attention With Offseason Photo first appeared on The Spun on Jul 20, 2025 This story was originally reported by The Spun on Jul 20, 2025, where it first appeared.

25 Walmart Dresses To Celebrate No Pants
A smocked bodice mini dress adorned with dainty flutter sleeves, a tiered ruffle skirt, and a decorative bow. This vivid key lime shade had reviewers singing its praises. We might need it in all four shades...😏 Important to note: some reviewers felt that the design ran a bit large, so it may be best to size down for a more structured fit. Promising review: "Why are the pockets not being mentioned on this adorable dress? Firstly, I fell between sizes. I usually take a small, but wasn't sure how the bust area would fit. I ordered the lime color in a medium and it fits with a bit of room to spare. It's not so big that I'd need to send it back, but I could've ordered a small. Great high quality fabric. It has a linen or linen blend kind-of feel, even though it's not. I really took a chance on this little dress — it was marked down — and I'm so glad I did. And I'm so happy with my purchase. Thank you Walmart for upping the game on the quality. Five stars!" —JulesPrice: $28 (available in sizes S–4X and four colors) A square-neck mini dress with wide, billowy short sleeves and decorative medallion-accented eyelets in Jelly Bean Green. Eye-catching and elevated. Plus, discreet pockets. And I mean, who doesn't love pockets?? Reviewers report that this dress is true to size for taller folks or those who want a fuller look, but if you're on the shorter side or want something a bit more fitted, look into sizing review: "Have received so many compliments on this dress! The green is perfect for summer and excellent quality after a few washes. (Short time on low in dryer, then hang to dry.) Could dress up or down, great to throw on for errands or perfect for baby or wedding shower!" —Gabby"Embroidery is perfect. Slip liner fits perfectly. Washes like a dream without shrinkage. Color green is very brilliant and looks amazing on everyone." —AnnPrice: $14.99 (originally $28; available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors) An easy, breezy maxi dress because a cool, crisp 100% cotton skirt during summer is totally refreshing. It also has a stretchy rayon/nylon/spandex blend bodice for optimal movement and ease. Many reviewers commented on how much they loved the rubber inserts in the bodice and bust which help the dress stay up if you opt to go review: "What an incredibly chic dress!! The stitching is on point. The material is lovely. Can't believe I got it from Walmart, but definitely will be keeping my eye out for more." —lindy"This dress is gorgeous! The fabric quality is amazing and not what I would expect from Walmart. It has little rubber bits on the bodice to keep it up, the skirt is nice and long and a thick linen-like material. Great for summer and spring. Could be layered with a cute jacket for fall or winter, even. Super comfy." —anonymousPrice: $28.99 (originally $38; available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors) A mosaic print short sleeve pintuck mini dress for ease of movement and flow during some of the hottest months of the year. Promising review: "This is the perfect light, flowy casual summer dress! Sizing is accurate. So very comfortable!" —Sheila"It fits great, is very comfortable, and is still sharp. More colors and prints, please." —DeborahPrice: $12.58 (available in sizes 0X–3X) A tiered mini dress with puff sleeves from Jessica Simpson's line. It features a sweet little tasseled bow in the front and an elasticized back for a comfortable fit. Be sure to size up because customers agree that it tends to run a bit small. You can also find it in sizes XS–M in an additional product link review: "It looks really pretty and the fabric feels pretty good. It has an inner lining slip. It is a tad snug on the bust area, but it is true to size and fits well overall." —Eva"I ordered this dress and it came the next day. It is so cute! The material is great and it seems to fit true to size." —AngelaPrice: $14.95 (originally $40; available in sizes 0X–4X and two colors) A three-tier midi dress in this striking orange shade. This vibrant frock is designed with short flutter sleeves, a double drawstring waist, a double-sided deep V-neck, back tie, and pockets — yes, pockets! 🙌🏼 It's important to know that the fabric of this dress is a bit heavier than reviewers expected. That being said, some did end up removing the bottom layer and found that it became much lighter to wear. Best worn on cooler summer days and review: "I'm absolutely in love with this dress. It's 100% cotton and it fits amazingly. There are draw strings across the waist and the back of your neck that you can adjust to be as loose or as tight you prefer. The material is stiff, but I don't mind it. It also has pockets!!! I'm 5'3" and it's short girl-friendly and hits me at the top of my ankles. It's become one of my favorite dresses. I might get it in different colors because it's so gooood." —Tiffany"The fabric is thick and holds its shape, the color is bright and stunning—sort of an orangey, red tomato color. I am curvy and have a bigger lower belly/ hips and this dress looks so good. I found that it's easy to breastfeed in too because of the elastic at the shoulders. Love it! Wish there were more colors!!!" —KassiaPrice: $30.60 (available in sizes XS–XXL and four colors) A crinkle-textured midi dress with a scoop neck and spaghetti straps. I can see it now. You, this dress, and a coastal vacation. Bonus: It's machine washable. Price: $24.98 (available in sizes 0X–4X and four colors) An abstract floral baby doll dress with a ruched bust and itty bitty straps. Reviewers loved this piece for its attention to detail and quality craftsmanship, so much so, they went back for other colors. Promising review: "I love this dress! The quality is far and above what one would expect to find at Walmart. The fabric is a heavier weight cotton. The dress is fully lined (in polyester, my only beef). The hemline isn't just folded and sewn, it's taken a step further with a banded hem. The pockets are deep. The straps are adjustable. You don't need to wear a bra!!" —Stephanie"Listen, I'm a bougie girl. I love looking fancy, I have a lot of designer bags, but I saw this dress on TikTok and I needed it. My expectations were low, "I'm like, 'Hey I have a Walmart close by, I can always return it.'" Needless to say, I've purchased two others in different colors because I love it so much. I get so many compliments on it. It is my favorite dress. I basically live in it. It's the best!" —KatePrice: $19.99 (originally $26; available in sizes S–XXXL and five colors) A flowy, off-the-shoulder midi dress. Nothing says summer like a bold and colorful tropical pattern. You'll catch us by the pool with margs in this lil' number. 🍋🟩🌴 Promising review: "I love the material of this dress. It is made from a unique crinkled fabric, that is wrinkle-free and perfect for traveling. The waistline is a little high if you want to wear a belt with it. if you have broad shoulders, it will accentuate those." —Jennifer"Let me start by saying I am petite 5'0'. It hits mid calf and it does not drag on the ground. This is so pretty and I wear it with wedge sandals or low profile sandals and I feel so beautiful in it. I do have to use fashion tape if I want to wear it off the shoulders. Otherwise, wearing it on the shoulders, it looks really nice as well. The colors are vibrant and I get compliments everywhere I go. The quality of the fabric is so nice and it's not see through." —TdcarePrice: $19.99 (originally $26; available in sizes M–XXXL and three colors/patterns) A 100% cotton midi shirtdress which features a drawstring waist, an simple zip front closure with a decorative pull tab, pre-cuffed sleeves, and vented side slits to keep the air flowin'. Some reviewers mention sizing down to get your true review: "I would definitely recommend this dress. The fabric feels fabulous. It almost has a professional look to it and I do like dresses with sleeves of any kind. This is also a wonderful brand. The fabric is so comfortable, especially on hot days even though I did purchase the darker blue color. The fit is perfect for me and I live in dresses all summer." —Barbara"Great fit and good quality. Fabric is lightweight and comfortable." —GrandmaPrice: $18.44 (originally $34; available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors) A one-shouldered midi dress because who doesn't love an adjustable waistband?! Cinch it or wear it loose for a versatile and adaptable fit while showing off a little skin with this botanical printed piece. Top tip: Be sure to size down as some reviewers felt it ran large. The adjustable waist allows you to cinch as much or as little as you're review: "The material is soft and it fits perfectly. I love that you can adjust the waist." —Tiffy4surePrice: $22.98 (available in sizes XS–4X and three colors) A belted utility midi dress featuring a sweetheart neckline and exposed contrast stitching. Made of 100% cotton, this piece is slightly structured in the bodice, yet free flowing in the skirt. It's giving best of both worlds. A number of customers recommend sizing down to find your perfect review: "I am loving that Walmart is doing more cotton dresses! This dress is comfy and soft and made really well! I recommend sizing down a size!! I'm normally a size medium (8-10) and a small fit me great! You can also bring the waist in using the tie! And it has pockets!!! Win win!" —ElizabethPrice: $32 (available in sizes XS–XXL and two colors) A green floral print mini dress made in a rayon/linen blend to help you beat the heat. This piece screams daytime coffee date. Pair it with some strappy sandals and a wicker bag to complete the look. The skater skirt style bottom hits just above the knee and leaves legs free to walk around comfortably. Plus, it's got adjustable straps. This one tends to run a bit larger. If you're looking for a more fitted silhouette, look into sizing review: "Very comfortable dress! The fabric feelings so high quality and thick enough so that it's not see-through. I highly recommend and the best part is this dress has pockets! I love it!" —Jackie"Love the fit. Sized down to an extra small. Fabric feels comfortable to the touch. Side pockets are great to have. Over all five star in my book!" —LouAnnPrice: $21.24 (originally $24.99; available in sizes XS–XXL and three colors) A machine-washable, ribbed A-line mini dress that hits around the mid-thigh. The sleeveless, pull-over style dress is perfect for lounging around the house and just swishy enough to dress up and wear out. Promising review: "I am in love with this dress and how it doesn't touch your body, but still gives you a shape, thick enough it feels high end, and well made but not hot, doesn't show lines from under your dress. I'm 5'10' and ordered a large in the olive color and it hits right above knee and I can wear a bra without it showing. Seriously, best dress ever and it's $10!!!" —JuliePrice: $9.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and three colors) A short sleeve midi dress with cinched peasant sleeves and an intricate embroidered eyelet skirt hem. And the best part? It's got a triangular open back and bowtie closure. The apple of my eye-let. 😉 Promising review: "So adorable. You can't tell that the back has a special look until you turn around and there's a surprise with your bow and a triangle that's open to the back. This is perfect for the summer. I love it." —Stephen"At this price point you get a lot of polyester, but not here. Cool, crisp cotton and it looks really nice on. The top ties back so you can adjust it to fit perfectly." —ShoppaholixPrice: $13 (originally $17; available in sizes XS–4X and six colors) A floral smocked mini cami dress with a tiered skirt because the teensy blue florals are the cutest. The relaxed fit and adjustable straps are just the cherry on top. Just be sure to size up if you like a roomy fit in the bust review: "Very cute and dainty!! Bust area runs REALLY small—I am only a 34A and the small was uncomfortably tight. Sized up to a medium for more breathing room. So cute and great quality for the price!! Size up one for sure!" —MeganPrice: $14.98 (available in sizes XXS–XXL and two colors/patterns) A sleeveless, knit swing dress in an A-line cut and made from a stretchy rayon/spandex blend. It's just the right combo of casual and cozy. Easily dress it up with a pair of heels, a belt, and some bling. ✨ Promising review: "BEST summer dress!!! This is my everyday dress. I wear when I'm at home and soooo comfortable!!!! GREAT price, great material, and great fit!!! Please don't ever stop selling!!! I purchase this dress every year, renewing from last year's. I buy at least four to five colors every year! I cannot recommend this enough!!!" —ZMB"I have been wearing this dress for many years. It's so comfortable, true to size, a great material, and has fabulous deep hidden pockets. You can't go wrong with this dress, as it can be worn daily or worn and dressed up for going out in—whether it's to the store or out to dinner" —anonymousPrice: $7.98+ (originally $9.98+; available in sizes XS–XXXL and nine colors/patterns) A cotton blend high-neck tank dress with some stretch that's ideal as a base layer. This midi hits just below the knee and has some mini side slits for a little somethin' extra. Add a denim jacket and you're good to go. Promising review: "I bought this tank dress in four colors! I love it!! I cannot believe the quality and fit. I bought my daughter-in-law two because everyone should have this dress. Dress it up or go commando, either way, it's my new favorite." —shannonPrice: $13.98 (available in sizes XS–XXXL and two colors) A braided double halter maxi dress with a textured geometric pattern and two tiered skirt so that you can stand out from the rest of the folks at the function. Promising review: "Beautiful green and white dress. The braided collar adds a fun touch. The fabric is silky and flows and drapes well. I sized down one size. Runs large. Saw the blue and black floral dress in store. So pretty, I ordered my size online." —KarinPrice: $23.77 (originally $30; available in sizes XS–XXXL in three colors/patterns) A smocked off-the-shoulder midi dress in this gorgeous bright lilac shade. It's made with a textured, 100% cotton fabric and features pleated ruching on the skirt to add some visual interest. I'm imagining this at the chicest garden party. 👒 Promising review: "Buy your regular generous and simply elegant for a summer dress up event. The fabric is cool and lasts forever. Well sewn and lined. The collar is a boat design that lands about two inches of flexible cover at the beginning of your arm/shoulder. The elastic ribbed torso area is not tight." —Juanita"I love the fact that it's cotton and easy to tie-dye. Cute off-the-shoulder. Skirt gave it a flow. Will order more!" —samPrice: $9.55 (originally $17.98; available in sizes M–XXXL and four colors) A cotton eyelet midi dress because drop waists are SO in right now. The rounded bodice and full skirt paired with the thin strapped square neck ties the look together. Timeless and trendy. Reviewers mentioned that this style can run larger and recommend sizing down. Some also mention that the fabric may require some ironing before review: "Beautifully crafted dress and fits well. Fabric quality is great. Love the navy color and eyelet pattern. Difficult to find 100% cotton dresses that are stylish and reasonably priced. Overall, a good buy." —Anju"Wow! This cannot be a Walmart dress.

I may have to get the other color : ) " —YMAST22Price: $36 (available in sizes XS–4X and two colors) A drop waist boatneck mini dress in a blazing orange shade to add a pop of color into any wardrobe. And its relaxed A-line fit makes it a great option for day-to-day wear. Promising review: "The material is soft and flowing and and style great.

You can dress it up or down." —Onlineshopper16Price: $13.98 (available in sizes S–XXXL and three colors) A cap-sleeved ruffled mini dress for dressier days while still keeping it casual.

It's cute, flows, comfy and affordable." —anonymousPrice: $20.40 (available in sizes M–4X and and four colors) A V-neck handkerchief dress for when you wanna get your picnic on. Flowy, swishy and most definitely photo-worthy. The wide shoulder straps and elasticized smocking on the back help to keep everything in place. Plus, a little decorative ladder trim never hurt.

You will not be disappointed." —RoseLynnePrice: $29.98 (available in sizes 0X–4X and two colors) A satin slip dress featuring cupped ruching on the bust and adjustable bra-friendly straps. The textured bias satin finish makes everyday feel luxurious. And for under $15? An absolute steal. Promising review: "So glad I decided to try this brand by Sofia Vergara :) What a really cute, light weight fabric black summer dress! The fabric is like a pebbled silk, but not silk. I have an expensive blouse that looks very similar. I wish they had the blue one in stock too! A real value even at full price. It's not too tight, but also not draggy and too hangy. I'm an 8/10 and got the large because I did not want it to be skin tight. Perfect!" —Judy"Gorgeous dress. It isn't sheer and has a nice thickness to the fabric so it hangs beautifully. I bought in yellow and black." —AshleyPrice: $14.99 (available in sizes XS–XXXL) Need ingredients for all your new recipes?

Bride Ready to Walk down Aisle, but Duck Has Other Plans: 'Her Spot'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The anticipation before a wedding ceremony is typically reserved for the bride's grand entrance. However, at a recent wedding in a picturesque garden, an uninvited, feathered guest stole the show. In a TikTok video, the bride's best friend captured the moment when a duck waltzed down the aisle before the bride. Michelle, 28, spoke to Newsweek about the surprise before her best friend graced the aisle. "POV: The bride is ready to walk down the aisle, but this duck had other plans," she captioned the video. "No, because why did it walk directly to her spot." Photos from Michelle's TikTok video of her best friend's wedding. Photos from Michelle's TikTok video of her best friend's wedding. @miche8_/TikTok Michelle, who lives in New York but attended the wedding in Denmark, explained that her best friend, Gabby, met the groom while studying abroad in Copenhagen. The magical moment unfolded in a "beautiful garden at their venue where benches and flowers were set up," Michelle said. As guests settled in and awaited the music for the bridal party procession, one guest spotted the duck walking down the aisle. "Immediately everyone started watching the duck's big moment and we were all cracking up," she added. The duck's impromptu solo walk down the aisle, seemingly heading straight for the bride's waiting spot, brought immediate joy to the ceremony. "All guests and the couple themselves thought this was hilarious," Michelle said. "Some even noted it as a sign of good luck." The unexpected interlude sparked a flurry of comical and thoughtful reactions online. One TikTok user wondered about bird perspectives: "If a human walks past a group of ducks do you think the ducks laugh at us?" Another user offered another theory: "[I don't know] why you're bride obviously turned into a duck, and the only way for her to turn back is true love's kiss, which she'll never get because y'all think this is really just a duck—so now she's doomed to be a duck forever." Taking a more spiritual approach, one commenter suggested that "somebody needs to look up the spiritual significance of that duck being there. My intuition tells me that was a visit from spirit." Beyond the duck's cameo, the wedding itself was a unique fusion of cultures. "The wedding day was so special and unlike any other I have been to," Michelle reflected. "It was amazing to see both cultures come together in the wonderful city where the bride and groom had met. They incorporated many Norwegian traditions that were new to us Americans, but we all left wanting to bring those traditions back home to the States. It was magical." The wedding duck has become an iconic part of Gabby and her groom's story, she said—a reminder that even on the most meticulously planned days, nature has a way of adding its own special touch.
