Bride's loved ones give her a wholesome surprise as she gets ready to toss her bouquet

Many families try to do something out of the ordinary during a wedding so the couple can share a happy memory for a lifetime. It need not be an extravagant cake or wedding decor. It just might require the family to come together and put their thinking caps on. Similarly, a bride, Katherine Amorós Martineau (@katherineamoros), got the surprise of a "Mamma Mia" that its fans dreamed of when she was about to throw her bouquet. Instead of getting ready to catch it, her family gave her an unusual surprise, later posted by her wedding content creator, Melissa–who goes by @momentsbymelb on TikTok.

In the video, the bride, Martineau, was standing with the groom, Jim Haesaerts, on a balcony and was turned around to throw her bouquet at her family. The wedding had a beautiful candlelight setup and the couple's family and friends had gathered at one place, supposedly to catch the bouquet as the bride threw it. Little did the bride know that a wholesome performance was about to follow. As the bride swung the bouquet, the song "Dancing Queen" by ABBA started playing in the background. "When you think you are doing your bouquet toss, but your friends and family had other plans..." the text on the video read.

The bride turned around because of the music but was still unaware of what was happening. The people were just waving their hands to the music and the bride mimicked them. But as the lyrics came on, "You can dance, you can jive," the bride realized what was happening and screamed, now fully familiar that her family surprised her with a flash mob. She had forgotten about the bouquet as she looked at her loved ones putting up a spectacular performance to celebrate her big day. The woman gave the groom a big hug as she couldn't contain her excitement. Everyone seemed to be enjoying the dance, but the bride was screaming and jumping with joy.

The hall full of people was brilliantly coordinated, hinting they might have been planning the big dance for quite some time and keeping it a secret from the bride. Martineau cheered the loudest as people pointed at her during the phrase, "You are the dancing queen, young and sweet, only 17." The woman gasped and waved as the performance came to an end. The caption read, "This might have been my favorite moment so far as a wedding content creator. I've always wanted to witness a flash mob. So happy to have caught this!" The video received over 56 million views and nearly 10 million likes. People took to the comments to appreciate the heartwarming gesture.

Oh my God, if I don't have a wedding like in 'Mamma Mia,' I'm not getting married." @dosfloresdesigns expressed, "Wait, this is such a perfect thing to practice while the couples are getting their portraits done and everyone’s just waiting around the reception for hours." @teeka_may shared, "The girl in the green dress at the front is absolutely killing it!! Every time it panned back to the crowd, my eyes went to her every time."
