Couple Has Surprise Wedding at Baby Shower: 'Everyone Was in Shock' (Exclusive)

Mar. 15, 2025

To her surprise, Klung was game.

“My fiancé’s face lit up with excitement,” she recalls. “I wasn’t expecting that kind of reaction and he literally said, ‘Let’s do it, that would be crazy.’ Then a few minutes [later] we were planning how we would do it, practicing our speech and from then on we were locked into that plan.”

The couple — who met as teenagers in high school, started dating toward the end of 2016 andgot engaged in Iceland in December 2022— only told the woman they toured the venue with in April of the surprise in store.

“It was such an emotional day. I was so anxious and nervous for the days coming up and that entire day itself,” Som says. “We practiced our speech a million times and I still get goosebumps listening back to it. No one had a clue what was going to happen.”

She continues, “As soon as the words ‘this is also our wedding’ left my husband’s mouth, everyone was in shock.”

“Shortly after the speech, all our family members came running down to us sobbing uncontrollably,” the bride tells PEOPLE. “It wasn’t until we saw them come to us, seeing them crying and hugging us, that we started to get emotional.”

But the happy tears didn’t stop there. They continued to flow as Som, after quickly changing into her wedding dress, walked down the aisle with her father.

All of the guests had come together to set up the ceremony. The chairs weren’t initially in rows on the field because the couple feared it would give away the surprise. Luckily, everyone was more than happy to help.

“It was just the most perfect day ever,” Som says. “The best part was the event started at 2 p.m. and ended at 8 p.m. Me being pregnant, not wanting to socialize, my feet killing me [made] leaving the venue at 8 p.m. perfect.”

After the celebration, Som and Klung got takeout from their favorite Chinese restaurant.

“We grabbed our food, mind you we are still in our outfits, eating in the kitchen, laughing and recapping our day,” Som says. “Went to bed before 10 p.m. and just ended the night in the best way possible.”
