A bride whose husband was nervous on their wedding day came up with a brilliant plan to lighten the mood. Heidi Zherelyev, a woman from Arizona, was getting married to Val and she always wanted to pull a prank on him on that day but later abandoned the plan. Then, on her wedding day, she noticed that her soon-to-be husband was nervous, so she quickly hatched an epic plan to lighten the mood. Heidi and her best friend, Chelsea, recruited one of Heidi's elder brothers, Eric, to wear Chelsea's old wedding dress, apply Heidi's deodorant and perfume, and walk up to Val pretending to be the bride. Although he was reluctant at first about stepping into the dress, Heidi persuaded Eric to wear it by telling him that the prank would make her and Val laugh. He was a good sport and committed to the part by applying Heidi's deodorant and spritzing her perfume.

A woman took an unplanned bathroom break at Chick-Fil-A and ended up delivering her baby there in the restaurant's restroom. Falon Griffin began having contractions on Tuesday. She and her husband Robert Griffin made a stop on their way to San Antonio, Texas’ University Hospital to meet up with a family friend at a local Chick-Fil-A store so they could drop off their two older daughters with them before going to deliver their baby. As they stopped, Falon realized she needed to use the bathroom. It was after 10 p.m. at the time and Chick-Fil-A was closed but the couple banged on the windows to try and get the staff’s attention because Falon didn’t feel like she could wait until they got to the hospital. Falon was allowed inside while her husband waved goodbye to the kids.
