I've been saying for at least 10 years that I plan on inviting the entire cast of Friends to my wedding — whether they show up or not, I feel obliged.
But could you imagine inviting some of your favorite celebs to your big day, and actually getting responses from them?
Well, as it turns out, it's not impossible as you might think!
Louis and his now-wife chose 300 of their favorite celebrities, politicians, and public figures , and sent them an invitation.
That would be very time consuming, and in most cases, not very rewarding.
"Ok so due to popular demand (literally only @mspr1nt asked) I'm going to tell you about the time I invited 300 people that I didn't know to my wedding," he wrote.
In an interview with Bored Panda, he revealed that it all started as a surprise for his wife, Estelle.
Which is just the sweetest thing ever.
"Other times planning takes a bit more time. So for our wedding day, I wanted to make sure there are a lot of little surprises for her throughout the day. This was one of them."
"Mail them invites, and present my wife with an album filled with celeb wellwishes at the wedding as one of a couple of small surprises during the day".
"My sister Yvette helped me with the admin as well as physically mailing everyone," he added.
That's a really good sister, if you ask me.
"I didn't want any of them showing up. It would have been pretty awkward if someone did pitch."
I would love celebs at my wedding, tbh.
"I was just hoping for an album with letters from celebs saying congrats on the wedding to present to my wife as a gift," Louis said.
"My wife's cousin called us and said they're talking about your wedding on the radio. I just lied and said I have no idea what they're talking about."
"Did not foresee that the toughest bridge to overcome would be the price of postage, but it was."
"I went through the album while doing my speech and no one was impressed."
"It was only when I was seated at the table that people wanted to see the album that they noticed that it was for real. Haha, my wife wasn’t too impressed."
"I think the fact that it still makes the news every once in a while is more special than it was on the day."
For all you know, it might make for the ultimate wedding gift!
