Selfless Bride Hands Brother's Girlfriend Bouquet, Watches As Sibling Pops Question

Share

Most brides-to-be have dreamed of their wedding day their entire lives. It’s the day that they get to marry the man of their dreams, and everything should be perfect.

Many have endless pictures of wedding dress ideas saved somewhere, and could even have a wedding reception location in mind.

I don’t even want to think about how many wedding planning things I had pinned on Pinterest before I had to delete that board for my mental sanity.

No matter what, though, most brides want their wedding day to be about them and their husband, and can be a little hesitant to share the spotlight.

Amie Skyler is the exception to this rule and a viral video shows the selfless act she did for her brother, Matthew Skyler, on her wedding day.

The video starts with Amie preparing for the traditional bouquet toss where single women try to catch the bride’s bouquet to see who will get married next.

She asks the women in the crowd to count down for her to make the toss, but when they get to three she pulls a fast one and hands the bouquet to her brother’s girlfriend, Savannah.

Savannah laughs and seems a little confused while the other women around her excitedly scream.

And then Matthew comes out from behind the crowd and grabs her left hand. The rest of the women seem to understand what is happening and they quickly scatter to give the couple some space.

Matthew fishes a ring out of his pocket and gets down on one knee as Savanah starts to cry. She of course says yes and he slips a ring onto her finger.

“I got married and my brother got ENGAGED!!!!!! This was the most special day of my entire life,” Amie wrote on Twitter.

The bride had apparently helped her brother plan the entire thing.

“He was kind of hesitant though because he really didn’t want to take the attention off me, but I didn’t see it that way,” Amie told Insider. “It made my day 100x more special and meaningful! I would do again and again for him.”
