American bride Lauren Bruce blew her nose on a priest's stole during her wedding ceremony in a Catholic church after mistaking it for a napkin.
The video posted to her TikTok account shows Bruce standing alongside her groom as she began crying from emotion. The officiating priest leaned toward the couple to wrap their joined hands with a stole as part of a traditional ritual. Bruce mistook the fabric, dabbed her eyes, and blew her nose into it before bursting into laughter upon realizing her error. She noted that the priest was so stunned he was left speechless.
Social media reaction
The clip accumulated 23.8 million views on TikTok as viewers reacted to the mistake. One user asked if she had just soiled the sacred cloth, while another noted that her husband looked at the priest as if apologizing because she did not know what she was doing. Other commenters pointed out how the groom gently kissed her head, knowing his future would be full of funny moments, and one viewer remarked that if they were the priest, it would be their favorite story.
Earlier in August, another bride from the United States, Sammi Hilton, gained widespread attention online for wearing unusual footwear to her wedding.
