In this wild-yet-wholesome episode of Real Brides, Rosana chats with Shelby and her husband about the wedding-day curveball no one plans for: the groom and six groomsmen getting stuck in a hotel elevator an hour before photos. From the moment the doors jammed to the arrival of not one but two fire trucks (the first didn’t have the right key!), the guys kept their cool while their ultra-communicative photographer coordinated timing and captured their “Great Escape” on video—tuxes, ladders, and all. Shelby didn’t learn the full story until the first look, and by then it had already become a legendary memory.
Beyond the chaos, the episode is packed with level-headed advice: expect the unexpected, designate a calm point person, and stay present enough to actually enjoy your day. Shelby shares the perspective shift that helped her let go of perfection—because, spoiler: the wedding doesn’t start without the couple—and why she wishes she’d worried less and sipped more champagne. It’s candid, funny, and reassuring—a must-listen for any couple who wants real talk on rolling with the punches and turning mishaps into the stories you’ll tell forever.
