This Isn’t Your Typical Wedding ‘Jumping Photo’
Bride was photobombed by a competitive freerunner jumping overhead.
— -- This isn’t your typical wedding “jumping photo,” the overdone trend where the entire wedding party is forced to hop in the air simultaneously.
This one is way cooler.
Take a look at this perfectly-timed photobomb captured by Kosta Savva Photography of bride-to-be, Kerry Glen, and her groom’s father, which is making the rounds on Reddit for all the obvious reasons.
“My dad and Kerry were on their way to the altar when the guy jumped overhead,” groom Matt Glen told ABC News of the unusual occurrence on their Oct. 2 wedding day. “My dad asked the guy to do it again for the photo, and I then heard about it after the ceremony.”
It wasn’t until the happy couple arrived to their hotel in Santorini, Greece, where they were having the wedding that they learned their venue was also hosting the Red Bull “Art of Motion” freerunning competition at the same time.
Freerunning is a sport where competitors utilize tricks, running, jumping, dropping and climbing over obstacles in an elaborate course.
“We had no idea this competition was on until we arrived at the venue for the wedding,” Glen, 27, explained. “The staircase Kerry and Dad had to walk down went through the course where the guys were practicing.”
After the bride filled her now husband in on all the fun he had missed, the two newlyweds made their way back up to the same spot to capture a photo with a competitor together, who quite literally jumped for joy at the opportunity.
“All my wedding guests (including my grandparents) took an interest in the sport after this happened, and we all went and watched the final of the event on the Saturday,” said Glen.
