In what has quickly become one of the most adorable and talked about stories within the wedding industry, a couple who got married at the Mystic Aquarium in Connecticut, United State got a little more than they bargained for during their wedding reception, which was gatecrashed by a beautiful and majestic beluga whale! The story of this couple’s wedding day and indeed their very special day has made a huge splash online (forgive the pun), and we’re just delighted to be able to share the details with you today.

Your wedding day is supposed to be the most romantic and special day of your entire life as you wed your partner and the love of your life, which is why the unexpected arrival of a huge and seemingly incredibly friendly whale caused quite a stir in Connecticut.

The inquisitive animal swam over to the glass, presumably to see what all the fuss was about, and managed to place itself right in the centre of the action as this couple were about to tie the knot.

Indeed, when the minister asks if anyone has a reason why the couple should not be wed, the last thing he expects is a dramatic interruption – especially not from a whale quite intent on photobombing the scene, anyway!

We’re pretty sure the only time in history a Bride has been ok with being upstaged on her special day is when that upstaging involves an adorable and hilarious sea creature which appears to be incredibly inquisitive.

Of course, thanks to the forum community Reddit and the internet’s love for memes in general, this hilarious occasion has sparked quite the meme uproar all over the web, with budding photoshop enthusiasts taking time to craft hilarious images with this amazing whale and the wedding ceremony. From depicting the whale as the best man to the pastor, and a whole host of other hilarious and entertaining photoshopped scenarios, this loveable little whale has taken the internet by storm, and this couple’s innocent wedding has become the talk of the industry all over the globe.
