Je kunt niet altijd iédereen uitnodigen voor een bruiloft. Je kunt, echter, wel een volledig doorgeslagen en grappig voorstel doen en kijken hoe dat uitpakt. Een man genaamd Erik had de gastenlijst eigenlijk niet gehaald, maar kreeg een ander voorstel om toch mee te komen feesten. Hij deelt zijn verhaal in dit Twitterdraadje.
1. Hey, het is in ieder geval een optie.
Dus Erik begint te vertellen hoe de situatie veranderde in deze hilarische realiteit.
2. Erik wil gewoon Marvin’s grootste droom laten uitkomen.
(1) There’s not a lot of story to tell, but for anyone who wants some DRUNK CLOWN AT THE WEDDING backstory:
Marvin had a vision of a drunk clown crashing his wedding. It’s all he ever wanted. Laura was on board. That’s the kind of perfect-for-each-other weirdos they are. pic.twitter.com/sgsAtXuVdM

3. Belangrijk om eerst casual mee te doen.
(2) I arrived in a regular suit. I had the clown outfit, face paint, shavingg stuff (I had a full beard & needed to shave for the make-up) and two 40oz’s (Marvin asked for a drunk clown, so I was giving him a D*R*U*N*K clown) in a bag I hid in a bathroom next to the ceremony. pic.twitter.com/huijk6w9PF

Dit is Erik in z’n normale kloffie.
(13) What I wore to the wedding ceremony. (That’s not my hat, that’s @AimieRocks’s hat, I’m *not* a hat person but wearing it made me feel like Diane Keaton.) Posting these photos so you can see the beard I had before my clown transformation. I shaved that thing off SO QUICKLY. pic.twitter.com/b59S2k0Yl0

4. Surprise!
(3) I only knew a handful of people at the wedding. Didn’t know Marvin or Laura’s families. More importantly, they didn’t know me. Which made me the perfect surprise drunk clown. pic.twitter.com/Y2S82Cqux3

5. Hij is in ieder geval vastberaden.
(4) I didn’t want them to recognize me when I showed up as a clown — the idea was to make it feel like an actual drunk clown had crashed the festivities — so I didn’t mingle much. pic.twitter.com/RiH7DmcXlv

6. Adten! Adten! Adten!
(5) As soon as the ceremony was over, people were directed to another area for a wine reception. I slipped away to the bathroom with @AimieRocks, who was helping with my make-up. I shaved off the beard, did my face, got into the clown suit, and pounded one of the 40oz’s. pic.twitter.com/Oj9G7ifbyL

7. Maak kennis met: Very. Drunk. Clown.
Total lightweight here. I was hammered pretty quickly. I’m a method actor, so I drank half the other 40oz too. Then I stumbled over to the wine reception. pic.twitter.com/Cn1bgxoVsh

8. Iemand, bel de politie!
(7) I barged in, marched over to Laura’s mom, grabbed her wine, downed it, then handed the empty glass back to her. CONFUSION. MILD CHAOS.
WHO IS THIS DRUNK CLOWN? pic.twitter.com/L59NUwIfX9

9. Het is het waard om hier je wijn voor te verliezen.
(8) I accidentally shattered a few wine glasses, but I gotta say I brought a real JOVIAL DRUNK CLOWN vibe to the whole affair, so people embraced me pretty quickly, even though I kept drinking their wine.

10. Blending in.
(15) Last three photos. I love how Laura’s pretending not to know me in that first one. The kissing photo is with another good college friend, Michal. I have no idea who I’m talking to in that third photo. <end addendum> xx pic.twitter.com/kHgW3bYcif

11. Prima checklist.
(9) Except for Laura’s dad, who called for security to escort me out. She had to tell him that I was AN OFFICIAL MEMBER OF THE WEDDING PARTY.
Best Man ☑️
Maid of Honor ☑️
Drunk Clown ☑️— Erik Patterson (@erikpatterson) October 17, 2018
12. Erg fijn dat deze foto’s zijn gemaakt.
(10) At some point, we must have gone into the vineyard to take those photos in the original tweet up above, but honestly I was so drunk that I don’t remember taking them.
Anyway, I told you there wasn’t much backstory. It was an awesome wedding. <end>

13. Laten we deze prachtige bruiloft samenvatten met deze perfecte foto. Clown on!
ADDENDUM: just found this photo & it made me laugh. This is after security was called off, after everyone found out I wasn’t a DRUNK CLOWN STRANGER but a DRUNK CLOWN FRIEND. And everyone’s just…so…completely…CHILL. Just like, “whatevs,” as I drink more. pic.twitter.com/tUZnYyvP0w
