A person’s wedding day should be one of the best days of their life. For Kyle Bell, it almost was until his happiness was briefly derailed by a crushing thought: Skip, the Jack Russel Terrier from the film My Dog Skip, getting hit by the Frankie Muniz character.
The scene from the 2000 film unfortunately crept into Bell’s mind as he stood before his lovely bride at the altar, forever tainting the sweet memory.
“I don’t know why I thought of the scene in that moment,” said Bell. “I think I’ve seen that movie twice in my life, maybe three times, but that scene just popped in my mind and, unfortunately, made me sad at my wedding.”
His wife maintains that their wedding day should still be the happiest day of his life even when accounting for the sad thought of Skip getting hit, but Bell isn’t so sure:
“It’s a sad movie, you know? I’ve seen it maybe five or six times, and having the unfortunate luck to think of this movie on my wedding day… it’s definitely gone from the happiest day of my life to one of the happiest days of my life and that’s something I have to live with.”
Unfortunately for Bell, the sad streak wouldn’t stop there. The newlywed reported that upon crawling into bed with his bride that night, he was briefly accosted by the thought of a scene from the film Zone of Interest.
Still, Bell says, he remembers the day as one of the happiest days of his life.
