Bros for bridesmaids! ‘When the bride doesn’t have any girlfriends’
What do you do when your girlfriends are far and few between?
Wrangle in the bros, of course!
That's what happened to this bride, Rebeca Sinohara, a 24-year-old computer engineering student from Brazil.
She told Buzzfeed News that she doesn't have a lot of female friends, and became sad when she saw brides taking pre-wedding prep photos online.
"In my engineering classroom there were 56 guys and only four girls, so it's not like I had a lot of choice," she said.
"Of course I have girlfriends from childhood and high school but we are not as close as before, and there are some girls that I lived with in shared housing during university, but none of them I became BFFs with.
"I always knew that I wouldn't have a gang of girls to be bridesmaids and to sit together putting on makeup and all before the event."
So instead of ditching the prep photos, she asked five of her best male friends to stand in.
"They are really great friends, and I had no doubt they would do this for me."
Rebeca only planned to take the photos on her phone, but when her make-up artist stepped in, it turned into a full-blown photoshoot.
"The guys were all so happy in their pink robes," Rebeca said. "It was really funny."
When she uploaded her photos onto Facebook, they quickly gained attention and went viral, with more than 50,000 shares.
"I definitely never thought it was going to go viral. The pictures were supposed to be only for us, to keep as a good record."
And as for the wedding? "I can say for sure all the five guys cried. I just really hope someone got that on camera."
We just love this so much.
