Speaker 2 (12:12):
Tiny but he's not just some sneaky creep who gets
his jollies by invading sacred occasions for the free food
and booze Allah, Oh, Wilson Vince, vaughan you know What
i'm talking. About, Instead hellyman had merely made an innocent mistake.
QUOTE i was at the wrong, wedding he confessed TO
swns after seeing his mug And doz's page four years.
Ago my partner was acting as, bride'smaid a, bride'sman male,

(12:36):
bridesmaid that's a male bridesmaid for his Friend mikhale's, wedding
And i'd been invited as his plus. One, hellyman thirty,
three a painter and, decorator. Explained for some, reason he
told me it was at The Carlton hotel In prestwick
at two, pm and when it was actually being held
at The Great Western hotel In. Air he had already
left in the morning to help with whatever it is

(12:57):
bride'smen do and left me to make my own way
to the, wedding running late.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
To the fay. Fet how do you say that fete
fet sounds?

Speaker 2 (13:07):
Good Fate hellyman pulled up to The carlton with just
minutes to, spare believing that the wedding festivity is taking
place outside of the, hotel such as the bagpiper who
welcomed it To vidi's were his partner's. FRIEND i remember
thinking to, myself, cool this is obviously the right, place Called,
helliband who'd only met the bride and didn't expect to
know anyone else at the wedding other than her and
her her and his. BOW i parked my car and

(13:31):
rushed inside and made my way into the hall and
saw the groom standing and waiting. NERVOUSLY i had never
Met michael's husband, before SO i, thought all, right this
must Be. Ben the fact THAT i didn't recognize a
single person in this place didn't raise any alarm, bells
but bells began ranging in his. Head Once, wiley a perfect,
stranger began making her way to the, altar the music.
Started everybody stands up and turned around to watch the

(13:51):
bridewalk down the. Aisle and oh my, god that's not
michaela Said, hellyman who was mortified by THE. Vixa you
can't exactly stand up and walk out of a wedding mid,
seramony SO i just had to commit to the act
and spend the next twenty minutes awkwardly sitting there trying
to be, inconspicuous and he.

Speaker 4 (14:08):
Cannot he is a.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Giant After wiley And john, SWAPPED i Dos heliman made
a clean escape to mckel's.

Speaker 4 (14:13):
WEDDING i was almost.

Speaker 2 (14:15):
As popular at the as the actual bride and groom
and spent most of the night retelling that story to.
People he, joked and despite his best efforts to remain
unnoticed at wiley, ceremony wedding photographers caught him in an accidental,
act prompting her years long hunt for his. IDENTITY i,
mean the fact that she shared it so often is
fascinating to.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
Me do you, know, WELL i.

Speaker 1 (14:37):
Think it's weird that it's and this is no offense
to the good people of THE, Uk, Ireland Northern, Ireland.
Scotland it's a very small. Area you Can't, yes there's
a good chance that guy is from ten kilometers or
closer to your wedding. Venue it's crazy she went so
wide with it and couldn't figure it out.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Locally, yeah, no it, Is but also like it was
it SOMETHING i just wonder if it like needled at
her for so, long or was it, like who is
this handsome stranger at my?

Speaker 3 (15:13):
Wedding? Like was it was?

Speaker 2 (15:15):
It some was there a little bit of, that like
why keep coming back.

Speaker 4 (15:18):
To it four years?

Speaker 1 (15:19):
Later? Yeah like what does?

Speaker 2 (15:22):
It would it bother you that much if there was
a stranger at your? WEDDING i don't think it would bother.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
Me i've been to so many weddings as a last
minute plus one and nobody knew WHO i, was and
nobody ever cared WHO i, Was AND i wouldn't even
IF i talked to the, Groom i'd be, like, Hey
i'm here With, ashley AND i would like shake hands
and they were like thanks for being, here and they move,
On like weddings are half. Strangers, yeah exactly.

Speaker 2 (15:44):
Right it could be a distant cousin or something like.
That it's just it just SEEMS i wonder if there's
not some other reason why she kept coming back to,
this to this.

Speaker 4 (15:53):
Picture that's All i'm.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Saying i'm NOT i See, yeah nothing, Creepy.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
No nothing.

Speaker 2 (15:57):
Creepy that's what's going, on all? Right but oh they
met face to face On.

Speaker 4 (16:02):
Thursday that's.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Crazy that's, nice that's.

Speaker 2 (16:04):
Nice though it's, cute it's, unbelievable Said. WILEY i just
could not stop laughing WHEN i heard the. Story it's so,
funny and the Way andrew tells the story is. Brilliant
you just don't hear about things like this. Happening she,
CONTINUED i just cannot stop laughing about. It it's great
to finally find out who it. Was the unlikely pair
plans to get married, now.

Speaker 1 (16:25):
No just, Kidding, well that would be the, story that
would be the. Story that's What i'm.

Speaker 2 (16:30):
Saying our wedding day was really the perfect. Day wiley
gush that she Wishes hellyman would have stayed for a
wedding reception rather than. Leaving but this blender adds another
great story to it that gives us even more special.
Memories it has certainly put a lot of smiles on
a lot of people's.

Speaker 4 (16:44):
FACES i love. IT i love.

Speaker 2 (16:46):
It and there's a picture of them. Together they both

order resulting in one person getting bacon added to their
ice cream and another having hundreds of dollars worth of

(26:14):
chicken nuggets mistakenly added to their.
