Woman Turns Surprise 30th Birthday Party Into On-The-Spot Wedding

A woman flipped her surprise 30th birthday party completely on its head when she announced to gathered family members that she and her fiancé were getting married right there and then in their living room. After meeting now-husband Carlos Perez, 39, in 2021, Jayenise "Jay" Perez, 30, from Deer Park, Texas, said she immediately knew he was the one. The couple was so well-suited that Jay said that Carlos was on the same wavelength in wanting a small and intimate wedding with just their close family there to witness. Jay and Carlos had settled on a wedding that wouldn't break the bank, so they needed an excuse to get everyone together. Jay thought that her "surprise" 30th birthday would be the perfect cover, and as she didn't want anyone to know about her marriage plans, she liaised with her sister-in-law, Tina, who arranged it all. On February 6, the couple's friends and family gathered in their Texas home for what they thought would be a celebration of just Jay. But then, in footage captured on the couple's security camera, Jay had everyone gather as she broke the news that she and Carlos were about to get married – their own surprise. After a series of stunned reactions from those in attendance, the couple walked down an aisle created in their home before saying their vows in front of everyone in their living room.
