When planning a wedding, it's always good to plan for the worst, just in case.

For example, everybody who was slated to get married in the year 2020 dealt with the fallout of a global pandemic either forcing their festivities down to tiny numbers, online or cancelling or postponing the wedding altogether.

Even in 2021 the lingering threat of the pandemic is too close and too fresh to ignore, so when someone gets sick on your wedding day, they're out.

But what happens when the sick party is the groom?

The Victorian, a wedding venue in North Carolina, had to think fast when the groom came down with severe food poisoning and was forced to miss his own wedding.

Workers came up with putting together a makeshift groom out of a clothing steamer on wheels and an iPad, which showed a graphic of the groom's face, so the bride could dance with her betrothed.

The idea, while a bit unorthodox, seemed to sufficiently hold the groom's place so the festivities could take place. The groom himself hopped onto the venue's TikTok page to let it be known how he felt.

"Groom here!" he wrote.

"HUGE thank you to the Victorian. This was our third attempt at a 'covid' wedding."

While at first glance, this seems like a rough start to a marriage, TikTokers had other ideas about how this would positively impact the couple's relationship.

"This marriage will last cause they'll always have something to laugh about during the bad times," wrote one good-natured user.

"I was there and it was still a great wedding," wrote one patron.

Life truly never goes the way one wants it to, so the only thing to do is be like this bride and this venue and think fast on how to keep the festivities going while taking care of the needs of the wedding party.

May we all have the serenity to do so should the time ever arise.

Megyn Kelly Tells 'Homicidal Maniac' Lindsey Graham To 'STFU' About Iran War In Brutal Rant

Conservative pundit Megyn Kelly criticized South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham on Tuesday, calling him a "homicidal maniac" and demanding he "shut the f**k up" following his calls for intervention in Cuba and for President Donald Trump to join Israel in attacking the Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah in Lebanon.

In particular, Graham urged Middle Eastern partners to do more to support the U.S. war effort, telling countries such as Saudi Arabia to “up your game.” He also criticized Spain after its leadership strongly opposed the attacks on Iran. Graham said Spain had “lost your way,” and called on the U.S. to cut ties with the country and withdraw its military air base from Spanish territory.

Lindsey Graham Dragged After His Latest Claim About Iran Directly Contradicts Trump's From Last Summer—And Oops

South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham was called out after he predicted on Fox News that the U.S. is "gonna obliterate" Iran's nuclear program by the time the recently-initiated war with the country is over, prompting critics to point out that he directly contradicted President Donald Trump's own claim from last summer.

Graham, discussing the war that began after the U.S., with the joint coordination of Israel, launched strikes against Iran on February 28, claimed Trump is “the right guy at the right time” because of Tehran’s supposed nuclear program.
