Bride recreates prank her parents played at their wedding
A husband and wife paid a sweet tribute to the bride’s parents by recreating their parents’ wedding photos – while celebrating their own big day.
Rosie, 29, and Justin Joyce, 30, were all set to get married in December 2022 when they came up with the idea of reenacting a prank by Rosie’s parents by swapping outfits for their wedding photos.
The couple tied the knot at Tiller Farm, Yallingup, Western Australia, and the big day was everything they could have ever dreamed of.
The pair wanted to capture the moment forever by filming them in each other’s outfits and leaving social media users in the lurch.
Rosie, who is a nurse, decided to share the hilarious clip on TikTok, which went viral with over ten million views and more than two million likes.

“We decided on our wedding day that we would take the pictures my parents once took the day after,” said Rosie.
‘I came up with the idea because I’d seen my parents’ pictures growing up, I knew I wanted to do it someday.
“It wasn’t really planned for the day it happened, we looked at my dress and I was like, oh my god, we have to do this!”
‘So the next day we got dressed and walked to our guests!
“Justin’s suit was so comfortable I ended up wearing it for the rest of the day.
“I was so worried about my dress Justin was wearing so he only wore it for half an hour!
“We had fun with it and our guests loved it.”
Justin, a home loan lender, and Rosie posted the video to her account (@rosiejoyce_) and captioned the video, “My parents exchanged outfits on recovery day of their wedding.”

A wedding recovery day is often the day after the wedding when the couple, family and friends continue the celebrations in a more relaxed manner and atmosphere.
In the clip, the couple first reveals the photos from Rosie’s parents’ wedding day.

They then sew in a clip of Rosie walking out in Justin’s suit, with him walking behind her, in her gorgeous strapless wedding dress.
The couple recreated the original photos, in black and white and smiling, with friends laughing and cheering in the background.
Rosie added: ‘It was relaxed, intimate and there was so much love and fun in between.
Rosie said: ‘When we changed outfits the next day they didn’t say too much, they just had this really nice, proud look on their face’
