I napped on the beach while sunbathing & when I woke up I was stunned to find out where I was – I didn’t know what to do
WE’VE all done it.
Sunbathed on the beach and accidentally dozed off.
But when Anna Scott woke up after doing just that, she was stunned by her surroundings.
She took to TikTok to document the hilarious situation, as she showed herself on a sun lounger on the beach, having just stirred from her snooze.
“I fell asleep on the beach and in the time I had my nap, someone has set up a wedding,” she laughed.
“I’ve woken up and the bride’s about to walk down the aisle.”
She then turned the camera to share a “little sneak peek” of the bride walking down the aisle on the sand, as her guests stood either side watching her.
“How did I miss this?” Anna marvelled.
She then showed herself in a tiny pink two-piece, as she sighed: “I feel so bad.
“I’m in my little bikini right next to them!
“I don’t know what to do.”
“Went to sleep on the beach, woke up at a wedding,” Anna captioned the video.
People were quick to comment on the video, with one writing: “I would have been so confused, like I’m in some weird universe!”
“This would be a fever dream I wake up from at 1am thinking it’s Monday but it’s actually Thursday,” another laughed.
With Anna replying: “I could’ve missed the whole wedding and woken up after they packed it away.”
“I’m telling you them them beach naps ARE the best ever,” a third said.
“Mouth open – you be knocked out!”
“This would be 100% something I would also do,” someone else wrote.
Budget-Friendly Wedding Tips
PLANNING a wedding on a budget doesn't mean you have to sacrifice your dream day. Here are some tips to keep costs down while still creating a memorable celebration:
Set a Budget and Stick to It
- Determine your total budget early on and allocate funds to different aspects of the wedding.
- Track all expenses to avoid overspending.
Limit the Guest List
- Keep your guest list intimate to reduce costs on catering, venue, and other per-person expenses.
Choose an Affordable Venue
- Consider non-traditional venues like parks, community halls, or a family member’s backyard.
- Look for venues that allow you to bring your own vendors.
DIY Decorations
- Create your own centerpieces, bouquets, and other décor items.
- Use seasonal flowers and simple, elegant designs.
Opt for a Weekday or Off-Season Wedding
- Venues and vendors often offer discounts for weekday or off-season weddings.
Simplify the Menu
- Choose a buffet or family-style meal over a plated dinner.
- Limit the number of courses and opt for affordable, yet delicious options.
Borrow or Rent Attire
- Borrow wedding attire from friends or family, or rent dresses and suits.
- Look for sales or consider pre-owned wedding dresses.
Digital Invitations
- Send digital invitations instead of printed ones to save on printing and postage costs.
Hire a DJ or Create a Playlist
- Hire a DJ instead of a live band, or create your own playlist for the reception.
Simplify the Cake
- Opt for a small, simple cake for the ceremonial cutting and serve a sheet cake to guests.
By being mindful of these tips, you can create a beautiful and memorable wedding without breaking the bank. Remember, the focus should be on celebrating your love and commitment, not on how much you spend.
“Except there would be snoring and I would wake up mortified.”
As others insisted Anna shouldn’t feel embarrassed about the fact she was in a bikini right next to the nuptials.
“Don’t feel bad, it’s a beach for a reason,” one wrote.
“They could’ve chosen a further place from people in the beach.”
“Don’t feel bad about being in a bikini, my besties’ abroad wedding a woman was topless sunbathing while awake next to the wedding…” another added.
“One of the reasons why I didn’t wanna beach wedding, didn’t want the on lookers….not that you’re doing anything wrong,” a third wrote.
With Anna replying: “I know, it feels so wrong!!”
“I really don’t know why people do this on public beaches,” someone else sighed.
“When I was on my honeymoon I don’t know how many weddings I saw… it was like a conveyor belt.”
