A couple invited their friends to an “engagement party” - which was actually their WEDDING.<br /><br />Jordyne and Trevor Lucy, both 27, took a unique approach to their big day - tricking all their guests so nobody knew they were attending the pair's wedding.<br /><br />The couple were childhood sweethearts - so it came as no shock when they got engaged on July 1 2022.<br /><br />They decided to surprise their friends and family as they wanted a 'low-key and chilled' event.<br /><br />It took them four months to plan - even preceding their official engagement.<br /><br />On July 31 last year, they invited 50 guests under the guise of celebrating their engagement - before surprising them by tying the knot there and then.<br /><br />The only people who knew were Jordyne’s best friend, Holly Shunamon, 27, and Trevor’s parents – so that Trevor’s dad, Richard Lucy, 62, could officiate the ceremony.<br /><br />Jordyne and Trevor, an accountant, agreed the most memorable part was seeing their guests’ reactions when they realised they’d been duped.<br /><br />Jordyne, an artist and graphic designer, from Chilliwack, British Columbia, Canada, said: “Neither of us wanted something big for our big day, we just wanted something lowkey and chill with our family.<br /><br />“We just said bring your own drinks and a lawn chair, it was casual like that. We knew we’d have a plethora of different attires because we didn’t specify.<br /><br />“My dad ended up walking me down the aisle in sandals. And my cousin came in socks and crocs. But it just made it funny.”<br /><br />On the big day, they revealed their secret with a big sign which said ‘Welcome to Jordyne and Trevor’s engagement party’ - with the last two words crossed out and replaced with ‘wedding’.<br /><br />Jordyne, who designed all the signage, said the pair had been “mentally engaged for the better part of a decade” as they had been together since their teens.<br /><br />But apart from those they revealed the secret to in advance, nobody knew exactly what to expect – until they arrived.<br /><br />Jordyne said: “I think the people closest to me did have a hunch something else might be going on, because Trevor and I are not engagement party people.<br /><br />“But mostly people were surprised – and I’m a bad liar so I was impressed we managed to pull it off.”
