For most brides, the wedding day is their special day. It’s a time for family and friends to come together and celebrate just two people—the bride and groom.
But that wasn’t the case for Jess Nakrayko. The Canadian bride was so appreciative of the hard work her best friend, Jessica Kieley, had put into making her special day perfect, Nakrayko wanted to do something for her in return.

Kieley and her boyfriend, Adam Brake, had become increasingly serious, and even discussed the possibility of getting engaged soon. But fully consumed with making her best friend’s wedding the greatest day ever, Kieley put any talks of an engagement on the back burner.
That’s when Nakrayko decided to break every traditional wedding “rule” there ever was and convince Adam to propose to Jessica DURING her wedding.
At first, Brake declined the idea of a wedding proposal, telling Nakrayko:
“I don’t want to take anything away from your wedding trip.”
Determined to make it work out in the most seamless and unexpected way, Nakrayko and her sister came up with a plan that would make her wedding day special, and still allow Brake to pop the question.
“My sister said, ‘What if you didn’t throw the bouquet, but you passed it to Jessica, and Adam was waiting behind, down on one knee?’ And we just lost it.”
So the wedding day came, and everything was perfect. Nakrayko and her husband, James, tied the knot, and everyone ate, drank and celebrated.
