Kelsey (wedding guest — bride)

It was going to be crazy.

kind of this more casual wedding before the wedding.

We went like all out.

We got a band and we'd open bar and we got food for everyone.

So at the rehearsal, we ate around seven and then the welcome party started at eight.

So everybody starts coming in and right at eight, I'm standing with my best friend Yavra and I'm like, Yavra, I feel a little funny.

She was like, okay, well, it's like a little hot in here.

It's like overwhelming.

There's so many people.

Let's go out into the parking lot and get some fresh air.

So I'm like, okay.

We get out to the parking lot and I'm like, Yavra, do I look weird to you?

And she's like, no, you look great.

But immediately I had a pit in my stomach.

I knew exactly what was happening.

Oh, no.

I sprint into the restaurant, into the bathroom, and look in the mirror.

And I have this, like, dime-sized swelling in the corner of my right eye.

And I'm just looking at it grow and grow and grow until my whole face within, like, seconds is swollen shut.

Oh!
