There’s nothing Nina Dobrev won’t do for her friends.
The Vampire Diaries alum and all-star bestie famously served as a bridesmaid in BFF Julianne Hough’s wedding this past July.
Dobrev’s been posting sweet Instagram memories and messages about the milestone event ever since, both congratulating and low-key embarrassing her newlywed pal.
Until now, Nina and Julianne’s wedding ‘grams have both been fairly glamorous, showcasing the most fairytale-esque aspects of Hough’s big day and the multi-pronged tropical/safari honeymoon that followed.
But Nina’s latest behind-the-scenes shot paints a very different picture.
A picture is worth a thousand words, and this one says that Hough’s bridal party hitchhiked to the wedding…?
Dobrev posted a photo of her and her fellow bridesmaids (all clad in blush-hued gowns) standing in a line outside of a large bus, thumbs out in typical ride-catching fashion.
“Bus problems? No problem. We’ll get there… #HitchHikerBridesmaids#YesWeGotPickedUp #TBT :camera_with_flash::@derekhough,” the 28-year-old captioned the surprising shot.
Despite the seemingly dire situation, it looks like everything worked out. We know who to call when our party bus breaks down!
