Two brides who kept their wedding dresses secret discover they chose the same dress

Two brides who had kept their wedding dresses secret discovered on their wedding day that they had chosen the same dress.

In a viral video shared on TikTok, McKenzie Ball and Erin Ball stood back to back and held hands in anticipation of the big reveal of their wedding dresses. The longtime couple saved the reveal for their wedding day and deliberately kept their dresses a secret from each other.

On the day of the ceremony, the wait was over when they both turned around and realized to their horror that they were both wearing almost identical white lace dresses.

“I was still trying to process the whole moment,” McKenzie recalled People. “We hadn’t seen each other all day and the adrenaline was pumping. I just remember Erin shouting, ‘That’s my dress!’ Then I realized they were very, very similar – the V-neck, the lace, the fit, everything.”

“We always agree on things, so it was no surprise to anyone that the dresses were similar,” McKenzie continued. “We just asked our bridesmaids to make sure their dresses matched, and they really did!”

Erin chimed in, “I thought she had chosen a simpler style, without lace, so I was speechless that we were actually able to pick out something similar when we went to different stores in different states!”

Despite the initial shock, Erin was ultimately not surprised that they ended up choosing similar dresses, as their tastes had become remarkably similar over the time they had been together.

“We have this unintentional but consistent habit of matching and coordinating our outfits,” she said. “Kenzie had originally picked out a dress for our bridal party that was identical to mine, but she ended up changing it.”

“We always seem to somehow fit together and align without planning it,” McKenzie added. “At this point, we just expect it to happen.”

The video was posted a month after their wedding and Erin was the one who shared the sweet moment on the platform. After just a week, the video had over 5.6 million views, much to the couple’s surprise.

“I actually didn’t know Erin had posted the video on TikTok until she texted me saying she was ‘going crazy on TikTok,'” McKenzie said. “I had to ask, ‘Of what?’ I didn’t have TikTok at the time, so she kept me updated on all the views. She, my mom, and my sister kept sending us updates in our group chat. We were all freaking out. It’s a crazy feeling knowing that so many people have seen the video of us!”

“We obviously wanted it to be a surprise, and it obviously worked!” Erin added.

In the comments section of the video, people praised the healing moment and called it “fate.”

“No way,” one person wrote. “Of every single wedding dress out there!!?? This is seriously unbelievable lol it’s fate how sweet.”

Erin replied, “And we got our dresses in different states.”

“So ONE of us has to go home and change,” another added, to which Erin replied, “And I got my dress first so it won’t be me.”

“They’re just a little different,” someone else noted.

“Same dress and hairstyle,” wrote another. “Gotta show the shoes and nails.”

“Shoes and nails were 90 percent the same, I kid you not,” Erin confirmed.
