Bride refuses to move until her favourite song is played
Can you blame a bride for being annoyed when her song of choice is not played as she makes her grand entry? That is the question which has divided Instagram users, thanks to a video going viral on the platform.
On August 15, Shivani Pippel, shared a video which showed her refusing to enter her wedding venue because the song she wanted to be played had not been put on.
“Tell him to put on that song. I told him,” the annoyed bride was heard saying as friends and family members tried to calm her down, telling her that the track would soon be changed.
Ms Pippel was dressed in a pink dress and sounding close to tears.
The video has been viewed more than two million times on Instagram since it was shared by Shivani Pippel earlier this month. It had clocked more than a thousand comments on the photo and video sharing platform.
While many praised the video as adorable and said they could relate to the bride’s irritation, a few also wondered whether the video was staged.
The clip has been re-posted by several Instagram handles over the last few days, contributing to its steadily-increasing popularity. – ndtv.com
A 98-year-old British World War II veteran, Harry Heasman officially became the world’s oldest wing walker when he stood atop a flying plane in England.
He spent more than 9 minutes atop the plane at a height of over 1,000 feet on Saturday at Duxford Airfield in Cambridge.
A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to officially certify Heasman as the world’s oldest wing walker.
“I have dreamed of doing this since I was a young child and to finally live that dream at 98 years old and to be a Guinness World Records title holder is beyond anything I could have ever imagined,” Heasman told Guinness World Records.
The nonagenarian said he spent 11 months working with a physical trainer to get his body and mind ready for the attempt.
His record attempt raised money for the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund and served as a tribute to his wife and son, who both died after battles with cancer.
“Harry is proof that it is never too late to chase a dream. At 98 years old, what he has achieved is nothing short of extraordinary. Over the last few months, I’ve had the privilege of getting to know him and seeing the determination behind this challenge,” said Lindsey Bidwell, a representative from the Lennox Children’s Cancer Fund.
