You Fucked Up Wedding Funeral Edition
A bride’s brothers scrambled to try to secretly order their sister a new wedding dress when they made a mistake and buried grandma in the dress. It seems their grandmother wanted to be buried in her wedding dress, and when their mother asked the boys to get the dress out of her closet to bring to the funeral home, she forgot she also was keeping her daughters gown for an upcoming wedding in that same closet. Well the boys had the wrong dress, and grandma had a closed casket so nobody noticed until two weeks after the funeral. The boys tried to reorder the dress on short notice, hoping they could avoid anyone finding out they fucked up.
This is going to be the weirdest dateline episode ever.
