The Officiant thought the Wedding was the Rehearsal...

When the couple arrived at the altar, the officiant, seeing a large crowd, assumed it was merely a rehearsal and made light‑hearted comments about the turnout. The officiant proceeded to introduce speakers for readings, still under the impression that the event was a practice run. The speaker’s husband had to intervene, informing the officiant that this was, in fact, the actual wedding. The officiant responded with disbelief, asking "are you serious?" The narrator reacts with shock, briefly blacking out and repeatedly denying the reality of the situation. The anecdote highlights the confusion, humor, and emotional surprise stemming from the officiant’s mistake.
