Last Saturday, Thimen Rogiers and Frauke Struelens united for life. At 25 and 24 years old respectively, the two young Belgians said “yes” to each other in front of their family and friends. A moment of emotion followed, as tradition dictates, by a beautiful and big celebration. A party that took a special turn at the end of the evening.

“I realized during the wedding reception that something was up,” Frauke confesses to our colleagues at Nieuwsblad. Without really understanding, the bride saw her guests quickly put away their smartphones when she approached. Unusual behavior that made her question but not really worried. And yet, a few hours later, the new Madame Rogiers understood the reason. “While changing my shoes after the reception, I briefly looked at my phone. This was the first image on my social media. »
Because yes, what the couple did not anticipate was that around thirty of their friends were plotting a bad plan. A bad plan which involved… 700 bins of Jupiler, Carlsberg and Stella Artois beers. Or 16,800 bottles. That’s more than 3,000 euros in oil changes. That’s 140 more than during Jelle and Lise’s wedding. “It’s a big gift,” admit Thimen and Frauke, who nevertheless have to work to obtain this money. “We had to clean everything up!” “.
Although they did not want to change their weekend schedule which included a day in Bruges, the bride and groom had to get to work on Monday. It was Grandpa Rogiers who was the first to get to work. “My friends did this to annoy them (…) I have never experienced this in my life,” explains the man who filled 120 trash bags. In total, more than 700 were needed. The young lovebirds were able to count on the help of their parents and grandparents to carry out this task. Their first as husband and wife.
