Groom Proceeds with Wedding in T-Shirt and Shorts after Airline Loses his Luggage

Image
If there is anything more frustrating than having an airline lose your luggage, it’s having an airline lose your luggage on your   wedding day. This groom flew to Iceland with  Delta Airlines from Washington DC and claims that after a delay which caused them to miss their connection to New York, they were then re-routed to Iceland via Paris and Berlin. They got to Iceland quite alright but somewhere along the route his luggage, which had in it his wedding tuxedo, was sent to Germany by mistake. Instead of letting this bump in the road, delay the wedding and disappoint his waiting bride, the man showed up for his wedding in a t-shirt and shorts! He scrawled this message on his plain white T shirt: “This wedding suit is courtesy of Delta Air Lines”. The unique wedding suit was shared by a wedding guest named  Zebidee  to  Reddit  who also narrated the back story. They finally tracked down their luggage themselves, abandoned on a baggage carousel in Frankfurt 1500 miles away.
