Bride's friends surprise her with recorded good luck messages from all her former flames - and the prank is branded 'funniest hen do idea ever'
A bride-to-be was left shocked after her friends surprised her with a video showing a series of good luck messages from her exes at her hen do. Emma, from Manchester, helped set up the joke for bride Talia that had guests in tears of laughter. Talia saw the humour in the cheeky prank, which was pre-approved by the groom, saying it was the 'funniest and worst thing that ever happened' to her. Emma shared the moment Talia was surprised by the messages in a TikTok which was widely shared. While some thought the joke was hilarious and others called Talia a 'good sport', many were not impressed, claiming it was in 'poor taste'. In the clip, Talia was sitting at a table surrounded by family and friends at her hen's night when something started playing on a TV screen out of shot. The bride's expression quickly turned from joyful to confusion to sheer shock as she realised what was going on. In the lead-up to the celebration, her bridesmaids had contacted a handful of her former flames and asked them to record messages of well wishes. Talia reacted with shock, laughter and embarrassment with each familiar face that popped up on the screen while the guests watched on in hysterics. 'Not her mum yelling, 'She doesn't even know who it is'. I'M CRYING - hands down the funniest idea for a hen do!!!!' Emma captioned the priceless clip which racked up more than 5million views. Many applauded the prank and praised the bride for having a good sense of humour. 'Now THIS is prime comedy,' one viewer said. 'This is the absolute most hilarious thing I've ever seen and I LOVE all of your senses of humour for this!!!!' another agreed. 'This is genuinely iconic!! You girls have just unlocked a new trend,' a third laughed. 'So not everyone is traumatised so much by their exes that this would legit ruin the day?' someone joked. However, Emma and Talia had to defend themselves in the comments as the joke sent some panicked girlfriends and boyfriends into a spin saying they would be 'fuming' if the prank had been pulled on their partners. @itsemmachloee not her mum yelling 'she doesn't even know who it is' IM CRYING🤣🤣 hands down the funniest idea for a hen do!!!! #hendo #henparty #henpartyideas #funny #girlythings #fyp ♬ Assumptions (slowed down version) - Sam Gellaitry 'The last thing I need on my wedding day is reminders of my mistakes in the past,' one person wrote. 'Poor bloke, can only imagine how I'd feel if my wife of 23 years did this, not nice at all,' a second complained. 'It's banter, calm down,' Emma replied. 'I wonder how she'd feel if she found out her future husband's exes had sent their messages??' another said but Emma hit back: 'She'd find it funny just like her fiance found this funny'. Someone added: 'I couldn't think of anything worse on my wedding day!' It comes after a US-based bride and groom has sparked a heated debate online after a wedding guest shared a photo showing a controversial sign from their wedding. The 'Pay to Play' poster revealed that guests had to fork out as much as $100 (£75) to hear a single song on the dance floor after the ceremony. The image, posted on Reddit, showed a framed sign at the wedding reception offering a playlist of classic crowd-pleasers – with a twist. Guests weren't just encouraged to request their favourite dance floor hits but were told they'd need to pay for the privilege. And the prices weren't a small change either. 'In lieu of the dollar dance,' the sign read, 'Pay to play one of the following songs that you'd like to hear.' Songs on the lower end of the price list – a still-hefty $25 (£18) – included classic singalong anthems such as Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond and Don't Stop Believin' by Journey. But the pricing ramped up quickly, with some tunes fetching a staggering $100 (£75) fee. These included The Wobble by V.I.C., labelled as 'Austin's least favourite', and The Cha Cha Slide, described as the 'couple's least favourite'. Cotton Eye Joe, a perennial polariser at weddings, was listed as 'Shelby's least favourite'. The viral club hit Get Low by Lil Jon also made the $100 (£75) list, with a cheeky note revealing it was the 'most requested on RSVPs.' In the mid-tier $50 (£37) bracket were nostalgic bangers including I Wanna Dance With Somebody by Whitney Houston, Friends in Low Places by Garth Brooks, Unskinny Bop by Poison and Cherry Pie by Warrant. 'If you purchase one or more of these songs, the bride and groom must dance,' the sign continued. 'Proceeds will go towards the couple's Honeymoon Fund!' Presumably, the newlyweds were hoping to maintain control over the wedding atmosphere while also making a playful statement about their musical tastes. But not everyone online was amused. 'Usually, I'm pretty in the camp of ''let the couple do what they want, it's their day,'' one Reddit user commented. 'But this seems like such an over-the-top and overt money grab. Like if your guests wanted to give you money, they probably would've already done so in their gift and given you the amount they're comfortable with?' A second was particularly riled by the couple's decision to charge for the most popular request, writing: 'That one feels icky. 'Like they wanted to know what their guests wanted to hear most just so they could charge them.' Another unimpressed commenter added: 'Certainly, I wouldn't pay money to listen to any song at a wedding, let alone $100 to hear the Cha Cha Slide.' But while some considered the stunt to be tacky, others praised the couple for their cheeky humour. 'I love it and would 100 per cent participate by paying to hear one of the songs,' one wrote. Another defended the move, writing: 'This is definitely a list of 'songs we don't want, but if you have to have it, pay us to tolerate it.' Good way to shut up the drunk uncles.' A different Reddit user even called the idea 'tastefully done', saying: 'I would crack up if I saw this at a wedding.'
