What are best friends for if not to coax you into donning a costume for a formal gathering? While a baby’s christening might not typically be the most thrilling affair, one clever dad found a way to inject some fun into the occasion.
On a popular online forum, a user named Jake shared how he managed to convince his best friend that his son’s christening would be a costume party. Jake assumed his friend would catch on to the joke—until he arrived in full costume. The hilarious moment was captured and shared online, quickly going viral.
“Three weeks before the event, we were just hanging out at my place when I casually mentioned, ‘Oh, by the way, the christening is going to be a costume party!’” Jake recounted. “I expected him to laugh it off, but he just looked at me with a raised brow.”
Jake continued, “I had my iPad out, and we started browsing for fun costume ideas, even joking about going as characters from ‘Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.’ I thought he’d realize it was all a prank, but we just had a good laugh and I didn’t think much of it after that.”
Fast forward to the big day, and much to Jake’s surprise, his friend arrived clad in an elaborate knight costume, complete with chain mail. “I couldn’t stop laughing when he walked into the church!” Jake wrote.
Adding to the hilarity was the friend’s girlfriend, who was mortified and avoided being in any photos, constantly asking him when they could leave.
Despite the awkwardness, everything turned out fine. Jake’s mom even mistook his friend for hired entertainment, prompting him to take a few pictures. While costume-themed christenings might not become a trend, this particular episode certainly created lasting memories.
