Jordyne and Trevor Lucy, both 27, took a unique approach to their big day - tricking all their guests so nobody knew they were attending the pair's wedding.

The couple were childhood sweethearts - so it came as no shock when they got engaged on July 1 2022.

They decided to surprise their friends and family as they wanted a 'low-key and chilled' event.

It took them four months to plan - even preceding their official engagement.

On July 31 last year, they invited 50 guests under the guise of celebrating their engagement - before surprising them by tying the knot there and then.

The only people who knew were Jordyne’s best friend, Holly Shunamon, 27, and Trevor’s parents – so that Trevor’s dad, Richard Lucy, 62, could officiate the ceremony.

Jordyne and Trevor, an accountant, agreed the most memorable part was seeing their guests’ reactions when they realised they’d been duped.

Jordyne, an artist and graphic designer, from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, said: "Neither of us wanted something big for our big day, we just wanted something lowkey and chill with our family."

"We just said bring your own drinks and a lawn chair, it was casual like that. We knew we’d have a plethora of different attires because we didn’t specify."

"My dad ended up walking me down the aisle in sandals. And my cousin came in socks and crocs. But it just made it funny."
