And that's where the conversation ended... until Saturday.
A bride-to-be decided to go the casual route by sending a group text when inviting people to her wedding photo shoot and BBQ. Somehow she managed to get a wrong number in there, and the stranger on the other end was not about to let her rescind the offer of BBQ and good times.
He did still come, he did bring friends, they did participate in the photo shoot.
It's almost too perfect. The Internet discovered the photo through hackneysfinest Instagram account, from which the story, as well as the hashtag #WeStillComing, went viral:
Despite the fact that hackneysfinest was the person who first posted the image of the text, it is unclear if he was the recipient of the accidental invite, a BBQ attendee, or just the first person to get this photo out there. One thing that is clear, however, as evidenced by the hashtags on his photo, is that once you invite "his people" somewhere, it is on.
Of course, it is possible that this is just a beautifully planned hoax inspired by the Internet's love of all things "wedding" and "accidental," but maybe it really happened and this wedding brought together more than just two people. Maybe, just maybe, it brought together a wedding party and a group of strangers who are still coming.
