We’ve heard that rain on a wedding day means good luck. We’ve also heard not to be afraid of a spider on your wedding dress or worry about dropping the ring. All of these things could lead to good fortune, prosperity, and a long, loving marriage. We’re not sure if any of that is true, but looking on the bright side of life never hurt anyone. Carly Friedman knows this better than anyone. As the bride walked down the aisle with her new husband, Lyle Bienstock, her mother-in-law accidentally stepped on her veil, ripping it right off. Instead of getting upset, Carly laughed, and Lyle went in for a huge smooch. Video of the encounter went viral, and people couldn’t love Carly’s reaction more. @carlyfrieds Just my MIL stepping on my veil as I walk down the aisle #MIL #wedding ♬ original sound – Carlyfrieds – This Bride Didn’t Let a Veil Fail Ruin Her Day The bride told People that when her veil began to rip, she was a bit terrified. “When my veil started pulling me, I was internally freaking out that I was going to fall backward or that it might take some of my extensions with it,” Carly said. Carly said, despite what some people think, she and her mother-in-law have no bad blood. She just got caught up in the moment and got excited. When it was all said and done, it didn’t matter and made for a great story. She hopes other brides can use her experience as a reminder not to let little things ruin their big day. “You put so much time, effort, and money into your wedding, and at the end of the day, you’re marrying the love of your life — that’s all that really matters,” Carly told People. “There will always be little things that go wrong, but you can choose whether to let them bother you or not, and it’s simply not worth it. It’s such a special day celebrating your love with all your favorite people, and there’s so much happiness in the room that nothing is worth getting in the way of that. Even if a couple things go wrong, a million more go right.” This story’s feature image can be found here.
