I wish this was clickbait 😅 In my entire career as a Live Wedding Painter, only two surprises have ever been foiled before the discussed “surprise moment”. The other was my very first live wedding painting. I actually mistook one of the groomsmen to be the groom and was avoiding the wrong person during my set up. 🤦‍♀️ Despite all this, I would never sacrifice how the day runs and the quality of the painting for the sake of the perfect surprise moment. All of my surprise clients know this and usually choose a “whenever they see it” approach to revealing the surprise, which is what Tina, my lovely bride, went with. Thanks to @Glen Nicholls for helping me with the surprise!
