When a groom turned to look at his bride on the wedding day, he discovered that his best man, who sported a beard, was standing at the altar instead. This caused the groom to burst out laughing at the altar.
David Hofmann, 32, was expecting to see his soon-to-be bride, Brianne Dennis, in her white gown; however, she had switched places with their mutual friend, Timmy Horton, 37.
Photographer Anna Morrison captured the moment David almost passed out from laughter after seeing his friend with the beard dressed up as a frock and wearing a veil.
David was surprised to see his friend dressed up.
«Right at that point, I was nervous,» David, an electrician by trade, shared his thoughts. I was attempting to calm my nerves in preparation for my first meeting with my bride.
«I turned around expecting to see Brianne, but instead I saw Timmy dressed in a bridal gown.
«He was emaciated and hairy, and while we love each other a lot, we don’t love each other in that way.» I was literally rolling around on the floor laughing.
Dennis and Horton, both 29, got the idea for their prank after seeing several amusing wedding jokes on the internet.
The bride was initially hesitant, but she eventually agreed and suggested that they play a prank on Hofmann by staging a fake «first look» photograph.
The «first look» wedding tradition allows future wives to give their future husbands a sneak peek of how they will look on their wedding day just seconds before walking down the aisle.
«I really wanted a meaningful ceremony at first,» Dennis, who lives in Marysville, Washington, with David and her 4-year-old son, said.

“[However], when it occurred, I was completely unable to contain my laughter, and I came out laughing. I believe that it served to break the ice as well as the tension.”
When Hofmann finally got to see his real bride for the first time moments after the prank, he was moved with emotion and said, “Brianne has always been lovely so I didn’t expect anything less.”
“There had been a lot of things leading up to that moment, and when I first saw her, all of a sudden I simply felt finished.
There had been a lot of things leading up to that time. I’ll never forget that day, and I’ll never forget that moment.”
Hofmann and Dennis married on November 17th in a ceremony at Lord Hill Farms in Snohomish, Washington. All of their friends and family were present at the ceremony.
«When I look at the images, I get a really good feeling. «I’m so glad we did it.» «It was a hilarious experience,» says the woman who is now Mr. Hofmann.
A photographer friend of the couple named Anna said, «We made a memory that will last forever and laughed so hard that everyone was weeping.»
