Groom’s Nervous Handshake With Wife-To-Be At Altar Leaves Bride Laughing

A couple have been dubbed perfect for each other after a bride saw the funny side of her groom nervously shaking her hand by mistake. Whitney Say and Walker Padgett's sweet moment took place on May 24, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, after Whitney and her father, Douglas, 57, had started to make their way down the aisle. Walker, 27, greeted the pair before shaking his father-in-law's hand with a smile on his face. But then, in a burst of nervousness and excitement, Walker shook his wife-to-be's hand rather than guiding her down the rest of the aisle. Whitney, 26, immediately started laughing with her bridesmaids, and Walker was a good sport, too, simply going along with the moment. It wasn't until the couple's wedding videographer, Julianne Milne of Soirée Social, posted the clip online that they saw how wholesome people found such an interaction. Walker said he didn't realize what he had done until his wife explained after, and with the clip now online, the couple saw thousands of comments about how sweet the unplanned nervous gesture was. Comments included, "You must be the bride” and "Nice to marry you," with viewers saying Whitney's laughing reaction showed how perfect the couple is for each other.
