“I was upset that he couldn’t make it but understood he had a career that he had obligations to,” Smith, 26, told

Little did she know that two weeks before the wedding, her brother,
whom Smith hadn’t seen in several years, found out he could actually
make it to the wedding, but intentionally kept it a secret from her and
most of the family.
“It was probably only 15 minutes before the wedding started, and the
photographer and I were taking some bridal portraits inside and trying
to avoid Nick [her fiancé] because I didn’t want him to see me before
the first-look photos,” Smith explained.
But then her photographer asked her an odd question, completely catching Smith off guard.
“The photographer asked me, ‘Is Nick wearing his uniform?,’ because
she saw someone wearing a uniform outside,” said Smith. “I said no, and
then wondered who was wearing their uniform. I peeked my head around and
saw my brother and his wife and sister-in-law and freaked out.”

Fortunately, Smith’s
photographer caught the tearful moment on camera.
“I was ecstatic but also remembered we had to avoid Nick so I quickly
ushered them all inside,” Smith said. “I rarely get to see my brother
as we are both busy working on our careers and education, and it was
amazing to get to have him there for my special day.”
