TIFU by traumatizing a wedding crowd with my ringtone

r/

At a coworker’s wedding, I (26M) had the very smart idea of setting my ringtone to the Jurassic Park T-Rex roar. You know, for the lols. Only I forgot to put my phone on silent.

Mid-ceremony. Vows are being read. It’s quiet. Intimate. Beautiful.

Then: RRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGHHHHHHHHHHH!

Every head whips around. The flower girl cries. Grandma nearly hits the floor. The officiant drops the little vow book. It echoes like a death scream through the venue.

I scrambled to kill the noise while mouthing “I’m so sorry” to the newlyweds. I swear the bride looked ready to throw her bouquet at my skull.

My phone is now forever on vibrate, and I will die before I attend another wedding without triple-checking it.

TL;DR: Forgot to silence my phone at a wedding, T-Rex roared during the vows, and I became that guy.

    This is like an irrational fear you have a nightmare about

    I don’t understand how you can set a ringtone for the lols but then also claim that you forgot to set it on silent. What would have been the lols if it were on silent?

    How loud was this ringtone. Girl crying , Grandpa ducking out…. Sounds like you dropped a C4 brick

    I would have had to send a sorry text from my car because my body has never yet seen the SPEED in which I would be booking it out of that place😅😅😅
