Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the most important days of your life– but let’s be honest, it is almost always filled with anxiety and tension. One groom decided to lighten the serious mood with a prank that was sure to leave his bride horrified.

UK resident Joe Cox hired two pranksters to pose as waiters at his wedding. One of the waiters can be seen carrying in the four-tier wedding cake. However, after a brief off-camera crash of plates, the waiter carrying the cake emerges on camera as the other waiter comes up behind him and causes a collision, causing the elaborate wedding cake to fall to the ground in front of the mortified guests.

Laura, his now-wife, then walks up looking terrified as she surveys the giant mess they created. Moments later, her new husband is caught laughing hysterically, and she realizes it was all one big giant a prank.

Joe’s joke was well executed because the look on his wife’s face signals she did not suspect the foul play. After the commotion had settled, the guests were inspired to get on their feet and start dancing. Then the real cake was brought out– all in tact, phew!
