Bridesmaid Chases Down Wedding Crashers, Saves the Bride's Big Day

On September 26th, 2022, bride Alyssa's wedding at an Atlanta museum was disrupted by a group of unexpected guests - a handful of teenage boys who decided to crash the couple's cocktail hour. It was Alyssa's bridesmaid, Raechel, who stepped up to the challenge and chased down the uninvited teens.

According to Alyssa, the venue had assured her that its own security team would be monitoring the entrances and exits to prevent any unwanted guests from entering. However, when the group of teenagers in casual attire made their way into the venue and headed straight for the bar, the security team was nowhere to be found.

That's when Raechel, a 29-year-old member of the bridal party, sprang into action. Alyssa's husband, Ian, also joined in the pursuit as Raechel confronted the teens. When the boys claimed they were part of the bridal party, Raechel quickly shut down that excuse, reminding them that she was the actual bridesmaid. After some back-and-forth, Raechel threatened to call the police if the teens didn't leave immediately.

Ultimately, the wedding crashers departed, but the incident left Alyssa and her husband Ian questioning the venue's security measures. As Alyssa noted, "We spent thousands of dollars to have a wedding here, and you're like, 'No, the bridesmaids got it.'"

Weeks later, Alyssa is still shocked by the entire situation, calling it a "story we're going to be telling for the rest of our literal lives."
