With the coronavirus outbreak, many are stuck at home with little to do. In an effort to entertain themselves while still maintaining social distancing, these fun neighbours posed for a creative wedding shoot.

Five neighbours in Georgetown, Texas donned their old wedding dresses to partake in a photoshoot they’ve dubbed ‘Wedding dress Wednesday’.

Behind the lens was professional photographer Elyssa Seibel, who came up with the idea along with the ‘brides’, Jamie Egloff, Bryce Ellerbroek, Shannon Thomas, Nina Wagner and Jaime Sladek.

“Nina decided that a fancy wine night was exactly what she needed and so she proceeded to put on her wedding dress and take a picture of it—and let me tell you, she had a blast,” Seibel explained to Good Morning America. “After a few glasses of wine, she decided to call it ‘Wedding Dress Wednesday’ and that’s when my photographer brain snapped on. I asked in our group chat how many of the women could come outside in their wedding dresses to take photos, and no one hesitated.”

The photoshoot was a fun way for the women, who are all good friends, to get together in a safe way and take their minds off the current crisis.

“There is a lot of disappointing news right now… so just being able to get out on the street and see each other as we’ve never seen each other before was a really good feeling. It was so ridiculous but it brought a lot of joy,” said Jaime Sladek.

“I think we take for granted, the little bit of human interaction we get each day,” Seibel added. “Even just walking down the street and saying hi to a neighbor. This definitely puts a lot of things into perspective, to be able to not only give ourselves a laugh and a little break from the stress of this crisis. I think the goal is to find as much happiness as possible in all this craziness. We’re all in this together and all helping each other find ways to cope.”
