Others would probably choose to enjoy their time somewhere remote and desirable, yet our heroes considered giving their kitchen a new look a lot more important task than their vacation which eventually turned out to be the best option.


For the design, they chose warm tones. The final results exceeded the familyâs expectations. The atmosphere was now welcoming. To say that the before-after photos blew up the network is nothing to say.


Um caixĂŁo com um laço de presente foi trazido para o nosso casamento durante a cerimĂŽnia â quase desmaiei quando ele foi aberto

O que deveria ter sido um dia de casamento perfeito tomou um rumo bizarro quando um caixĂŁo, coberto com um laço gigante, foi levado ao altar. A noiva ficou atordoada, os convidados ficaram em silĂȘncio, e o que aconteceu depois seria lembrado como a brincadeira mais inesperada do dia.
âTem certeza de que estĂĄ pronta para isso?â, meu pai perguntou, sua mĂŁo quente pousada em meu ombro enquanto eu ajustava meu vĂ©u no espelho.

âEu estive pronto a minha vida toda, paiâ, eu disse com um sorriso. Minhas mĂŁos estavam firmes, mas meu coração disparava de excitação.
Eu nĂŁo era o tipo de garota que sonhava com contos de fadas, mas sempre quis esse dia â um dia cheio de amor, risadas e famĂlia. E agora estava acontecendo. Tudo estava perfeito, atĂ© o Ășltimo detalhe, exatamente como eu havia planejado.

Eu passei meses escolhendo flores, escolhendo as cores certas e me certificando de que todos soubessem seu lugar. Minha mĂŁe costumava dizer que eu era um pouco controladora, mas isso me fazia sentir segura, sabendo que as coisas estavam em ordem.
âVocĂȘ estĂĄ lindaâ, meu pai acrescentou, um pouco emocionado.
âNĂŁo comece a chorar aindaâ, provoquei. âAinda temos que chegar ao altar.â

Eu mal podia esperar para caminhar atĂ© o altar e ver Jacob â meu futuro marido. Ele nĂŁo era como eu. Ele nunca pensava demais nas coisas. Jacob era calmo e engraçado, sempre pronto para me fazer rir quando eu ficava muito sĂ©ria. Era isso que eu mais amava nele.
Jacob e eu nos conhecemos hå quatro anos na festa de um amigo em comum. Eu estava sentada no canto, evitando conversa fiada, e ele veio até mim com um grande sorriso.
âParece que vocĂȘ estĂĄ se divertindo muitoâ, ele disse, segurando uma bebida em cada mĂŁo.

âOdeio festasâ, admiti.
âEu tambĂ©mâ, ele riu, embora estivesse claramente se divertindo muito.
Esse era Jacob â tranquilo, com um talento especial para tirar o melhor de cada situação. Começamos a conversar, e nĂŁo demorou muito para que eu tambĂ©m estivesse rindo. Aquela noite mudou tudo para mim.

Ăramos opostos em muitos aspectos, mas simplesmente nos encaixĂĄvamos. Eu gostava de ordem; ele amava espontaneidade. Eu tinha minha vida planejada; ele preferia seguir o fluxo. Mas, de alguma forma, funcionou.
âNĂŁo acredito que vocĂȘ vai se casarâ, minha melhor amiga Kate disse durante a despedida de solteira. âVocĂȘ costumava dizer que nĂŁo acreditava em todas essas coisas de casamento.â
âEu nĂŁoâ, respondi, pensando em Jacob. âMas entĂŁo eu o conheci.â

Jacob had his own set of friendsâguys heâd known since grade school. They were a loud, rowdy bunch, always playing jokes on each other. Sometimes they drove me nuts, but Jacob loved them, and I knew they meant the world to him.
His best man, Derek, was always the ringleader, coming up with crazy pranks and schemes. The guys called themselves the âbachelor club,â like they were stuck in high school.

âTheyâll grow up one day,â Jacob always said with a grin.
But even though they were immature at times, Jacob was different when he was with me. He wasnât just a pranksterâhe was thoughtful and kind, always finding little ways to make me smile. Heâd leave me notes, cook dinner when I was tired, and listen to my endless wedding planning without complaint.

âThatâs what youâre supposed to do when you love someone,â he once told me, shrugging like it was the easiest thing in the world.
The day had finally arrived, and the sun was shining. It was perfect. As I stood there, ready to marry the love of my life, I took a deep breath. My father was by my side, my family and friends were all waiting outside, and Jacob⊠well, he was probably cracking jokes with his friends, trying to calm his nerves.

âYou ready?â Dad asked again, sensing my excitement.
âIâve never been more ready,â I replied.
With one last look in the mirror, I smiled. Everything was exactly how it was supposed to be. I wasnât nervous, just eager to see Jacob standing at the end of that aisle, waiting for me.

And then we stepped outside.
The ceremony was going perfectly. The soft hum of music filled the air as Jacob and I stood facing each other, hands intertwined. He was smiling at me, and I could feel the warmth of his love radiating in that moment. My heart swelled with joy, and I could see tears welling up in his eyes. We were about to exchange our vows, the most important words of our lives.

But just as I opened my mouth to speak, something strange caught my eye. From the back of the venue, a group of people appeared. They were walking slowly, carrying something heavy. At first, I thought it was a jokeâsomeone bringing in a last-minute wedding gift. But as they got closer, I saw what they were carrying. A coffin.
My stomach dropped. I blinked, hoping I was imagining things, but noâthere it was. A real, wooden coffin, with a giant red bow on top.

âWhat theâŠ?â I whispered to myself, barely able to process it. This couldnât be happening.
The guests, who had been smiling and laughing just moments before, fell silent. The music seemed to fade into the background as all eyes turned to the approaching coffin. Confusion rippled through the crowd. My pulse raced. I looked over at Jacob, expecting him to react, but he just stood there, wide-eyed like everyone else.

âWhat is this?â I thought, panic building in my chest. âIs it a prank? Something gone horribly wrong?â I glanced around, looking for some kind of answer, but nobody seemed to know what was happening. My head was spinning, and I felt lightheaded, like I might faint.
The group of men carrying the coffin came closer. My heart pounded in my chest, and I could feel my knees trembling. I clutched Jacobâs hand tightly, but even he seemed too shocked to move.

They walked right up to the altar and set the coffin down at our feet. I could barely breathe.
Then, one of Jacobâs friendsâDerek, the best manâstepped forward. Of course, it was him. If anyone was behind something as insane as this, it had to be Derek. He reached for the lid of the coffin, his hand moving slowly, as if he was deliberately building suspense.
âDerek, what the hell is going on?â I finally managed to say, my voice shaky.

He didnât answer. Instead, he smiledâa big, goofy grinâand lifted the lid.
I gasped. Inside the coffin wasnât what I feared. No grim surprise or morbid joke. Instead, lying there was a large framed portrait of Jacob, with a huge gift bow wrapped around it like he was some kind of present.

For a second, I was too stunned to react. My brain struggled to make sense of what I was seeing. Then, from behind the coffin, the rest of Jacobâs friends jumped out, shouting, âSurprise!!!â
I just stood there, frozen, trying to process it all. My mind went from panic to confusion to⊠realization. Slowly, it dawned on me: this was all a prank. A ridiculous, over-the-top prank pulled by Jacobâs friends. The coffin, the portraitâeverything. They were symbolizing that Jacob was âdeadâ to them now that he was getting married.

âYouâve got to be kidding me,â I muttered, still in shock.
Derek burst out laughing, clearly pleased with himself. âHeâs a married man now! Heâs gone forever!â he shouted, pointing at Jacobâs picture. The rest of the guys were laughing, too, slapping each other on the back like theyâd just pulled off the greatest prank of all time.

I turned to look at Jacob, who was now grinning sheepishly. âI had no idea,â he said quickly, holding up his hands like he was innocent in all of this. âI swear, I didnât know they were planning this.â
For a moment, I didnât know what to do. Part of me wanted to strangle Derek for pulling something so outrageous in the middle of my wedding. But then⊠the absurdity of it all hit me. Jacobâs friends were always pulling stunts like this. It was their way of showing they cared. And, honestly, it was kind of funny.

Before I knew it, I started laughing. I couldnât help itâthe whole situation was so ridiculous. Soon, Jacob was laughing too, and then the guests joined in. The tension dissolved, and the mood lightened again. The wedding wasnât ruined. If anything, it was just made more memorable.
âI canât believe you guys did this,â I said, wiping away a tear from laughing so hard.

âItâs all in good fun,â Derek replied, still grinning from ear to ear. âWe couldnât let Jacob off that easy. We had to say goodbye to him properly.â
Jacob shook his head, still smiling. âYou guys are ridiculous.â
âWell,â I said, still catching my breath, âItâs a good thing all our family and friends have a good sense of humor. This couldâve gone horribly wrong.â

I turned to Jacob, feeling a wave of love and relief. Despite the craziness, everything was perfect. This was our wedding, and it would be a day weâd never forget.
Jacob leaned in, kissing me softly. âI love you,â he whispered, his eyes twinkling.
âI love you too,â I whispered back, thinking to myself, What a day.

I invited a fortune teller to my bridal party as a playful prank to rattle my difficult future mother-in-law. What started as harmless fun quickly spiraled into a shocking confrontation, revealing a secret hidden in her designer bag that threatened to ruin my wedding day entirely.
