As the matron of honor at her best friend’s wedding, Leslie Leith proudly stood next to the bride at the altar. But, unlike the rest of the bridal party, Leith was nine months pregnant.
“There was always a running joke it was going to happen the day of. It was just a running joke,” said bride Charley Norman, who has been best friends with Leith since freshman year of college.
The joke turned into reality when Leith went into labor on the day of Norman’s wedding. The soon-to-be mother tried her best to fight off the pain and finish the ceremony, proving the power of friendship.
An hour and half later when the ceremony finished, Leith went to the hospital to deliver her baby named Owen. Luckily she made it to the hospital in time, unlike the woman who gave birth in her car as her husband filmed it.
“I knew she was back there and I knew she was in pain. But I knew she would do what was best for her and [her baby],” Norman said.
The bride and the rest of the bridesmaids visited Leith at the hospital and met the adorable baby boy for the first time as shown in the video below.
