My Groom Pushed Me Into the Pool During Our Wedding Reception and Started Laughing – He Didn’t Expect What I Did Next
“This is the bride-to-be,” I answered with a grin.
“You… should be… careful.” The man belched. “He’s planning… something.”
I frowned. “Who is this?”
“Don’t you think I will tell you that. Just…” he let out a pained groan, “…be careful. Good.”
And then he hung up.
“Who was that?”
I turned to my maid of honor, Cally, and shrugged. “Someone who’s had a bit too much to drink.”
“He’s planning something.”
We were married under a stunning rose bower on a beautiful estate. Afterward, we moved to the pool area for the reception.
Two hundred guests filled the area around the pool, laughing and dancing while music drifted through the evening air.
It was perfect.
Theo was across the terrace, working the room the way he always did, shaking hands, landing jokes, making everyone feel like the most important person there.
We moved to the pool area for the reception.
I watched Theo from a distance for a moment and couldn’t believe how lucky I was to have found him.
I was still watching when he stepped toward the microphone stand near the pool.
“Hey, everyone,” he said, flashing that grin. “Can I have your attention for a second?”
The crowd quieted. Someone near the back called out, “Speech time already?”
Theo laughed. “Not exactly. I just need my beautiful bride over here for a moment.”
He held out a hand toward me.
“I just need my beautiful bride over here for a moment.”
I smiled and walked toward him.
I thought he’d planned something romantic.
The weird phone call I’d gotten warning me to be careful was the furthest thing from my mind, but it shouldn’t have been.
“What are you up to?” I asked quietly when I reached him.
“Well, you said you were hoping for a surprise today. So here it is!”
His hands hit my shoulders, and I was falling, screaming until I hit the water.
“What are you up to?”
The cold water swallowed me whole — screams, dress, heels, veil, everything.
