Some brides are uptight about their big day and others are a little more relaxed – they might let their bridesmaids pay for their own outfits, for example.

But that led to a surprising twist for one bride when her sister, who was the maid of honour, arrived at the wedding wearing a T-Rex costume.

Deanna Adams, 40, and her 34-year-old fiancé Joby had asked her sister Chistina Meador, 38, to be the maid of honour a year before.

Deanna told her whole bridal party to ear what they felt comfortable in – and for Christina, that turned out to be a huge inflatable dinosaur costume.




Not a fan or formal dresses, Christina decided that if she was going to spend the money on something, she wanted it to be something she would want to use again.

She decided on the costume because she says she’d always wanted one – and she text her sister just to see what she thought but amazingly, she was fine with it.

As the wedding approached, Christina decided she couldn’t afford it and bought a $7 dress from a thrift store.

But as the big day approached on 10 August, Christina realised her dress was too big because she’d lost weight and she bought the costume.

She also picked up a $20 dress in case her sister changed her mind but Deanna was still fine with the costume.

So on the big day, the couple married in Ohama, Nebraska, with Christina in her dinosaur costume.

Standing on the edge of the wedding party, the guests burst out laughing, including Jessica Greene who filmed.

Jessica said: ‘Deanna, told her bridesmaids that they could wear whatever they’d like for the ceremony.

‘Christina jokingly responded with a picture of the dinosaur costume and surprisingly the bride said she’d be okay with it.

‘Deanna is the coolest, nerdy girl gamer ever, and she and Joby are just a really silly, easy-going couple.

‘So, I think the addition of a dino in her otherwise pretty traditional wedding, was really the perfect quirky touch.

‘Christina planned on giving the costume as a wedding gift, which probably sounds odd to anyone that doesn’t know them, but really it’s so perfect for them.’

It’s not the first time a T-rex costume has featured in a wedding.

Back in 2017, this bride surprised her husband by walking down the aisle in one.
