In the realm of significant life milestones, few events rival the excitement of getting engaged. When her partner, Jake, proposed, Atlanta resident Lily Thompson was eager to share the joyous news. Her first thought? To text her sister. However, in her excitement, Thompson mistakenly sent a photo of her engagement ring to an unknown number.
Typically, such a mix-up would lead to a humorous story to share among friends. But in this case, the recipient of her enthusiastic text was none other than actress Sarah Michelle Gellar. Yes, Thompson inadvertently sent her engagement announcement directly to the iconic star known for her role in Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
What could have been a simple error transformed into an extraordinary tale when Gellar responded. She shared Thompson’s photo on her official Facebook page, alongside a heartfelt message congratulating the couple. “Meet Lily Thompson,” Gellar posted. “She got engaged yesterday but accidentally texted me her big news instead of her sister. While her sister didn’t reply, I did! Let’s all congratulate Lily and her fiancé, whom I unfortunately don’t know by name. #congratulations.”
Gellar’s followers quickly flooded the comments with well-wishes for the newly engaged couple. Thompson chimed in as well, expressing her gratitude and revealing her fiancé’s name, all while humorously inviting Gellar and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr., to the wedding—likely hoping to avoid any more wrong number incidents in the future!
