Bride shares ‘psycho’ hack to prevent her wedding dress from getting ruined

A bride has gone viral for revealing a ‘genius’ trick to avoid ruining her wedding dress at her wedding reception.

Influencer and comedian Hannah Brown tied the knot last month in a strapless lace dress by bridal designer La Premiere in Los Angeles.

After saying ‘I do’ to her new husband Jake, the happy couple indulged in Italian food at their reception dinner, which was held at Carondelet House.

To prevent their expensive wedding clothes from being damaged by food splatters or wine spills, Hannah and her boyfriend both wore clear plastic raincoats to dinner.

Sharing an excerpt from the reception to her TikTok account‘, Hannah wrote: ‘This is the sign that you need to get American Psycho raincoats for your wedding dinner so you can actually enjoy the meal without worrying about your dress getting ruined.’

A sheer raincoat was memorably worn by Patrick Bateman, played by Christian Bale, in the 2000 film American Psycho.

Speaking to DailyMail.com about her decision to wear a raincoat to her wedding, Hannah explained that it all stemmed from her and husband Jake’s love of Italian cuisine.

“Jake and I knew we wanted spaghetti and meatballs as our beef option for our wedding dinner. We are both obsessed with Italian food and the whole vibe of the evening was inspired by one of our favorite Italian places in LA, Pace,” she shared.

“That said, I’m an extreme slob. I could literally sit in a chair with my hands folded and find a way to get something on my shirt, so the raincoats seemed like the only way to ensure I could enjoy dinner without the stress of potentially ruining my dress to go. ‘

She added: “Jake is actually a very clean eater, but he wore one with me in solidarity!”

The blushing bride admitted she was initially hesitant to take the protective gear with her, fearing it would ruin the stylish atmosphere of her big day.

“I was a little hesitant to wear them because I was so excited to look and feel elegant for once in my life, but then I remembered how much I love eating with reckless abandon, so we went for it,” she laughed.

“However, I forgot to take off my raincoat for my father’s heartfelt speech, so it served a dual purpose: to catch my tears.”

After sharing the moment on TikTok and Instagram, Hannah was flooded with comments praising her for the clever idea.

“This is so epic,” one follower wrote, while a second added: “Best idea ever!”

“All the cool girls will be wondering how they too can pull off this look,” wrote another.
