During a lively garter toss at a recent wedding, things took a dramatic turn when a guest accidentally knocked over a candle. In seconds, flames started creeping up a paper decoration. Gasps filled the room. The groom, still holding the garter, quickly jumped into action—smothering the fire with a napkin, while a bridesmaid splashed water on it.
Crisis averted. No one was hurt, just a bit of scorched paper and a lot of adrenaline.
With the danger gone, laughter returned. The DJ cracked a joke, the garter toss resumed, and the crowd cheered even louder. Best part? The entire moment was caught on video—and it’s already a favorite at post-wedding brunches.
What could’ve been a disaster is now a legendary wedding story. A reminder that sometimes, it’s the unscripted moments that make the best memories.
