While shopping for suits, a man from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, found a beige jacket he liked, but what was in its pocket has left internet users in hysterics.
The poster, Zach Carty, told Newsweek that he ended up not buying the suit because it was too small, and partly because he found a wedding speech in the jacket pocket.
In a viral post shared on Reddit on Sunday, under the username u/zachismyname89, Carty holds up the folded piece of paper that he found hidden inside the suit jacket pocket while searching for the tag.
The wedding toast is from two people named Val and Jack, which they wrote for their friend, Tony, and his wedding to his wife Ally.
The toast recounts the friends’ years at college, first jobs in New York, as well as ski trips, traveling and game nights within the friendship group.

“Someone bought, used, then returned a suit from H&M, and left their wedding toast in the pocket”, the Reddit caption says.
“I get being tight on money, but an H&M suit is like $100, at least get it dry cleaned first”.
Carty told Newsweek: “I had no idea what it had been through that night at the wedding so I didn’t want to risk getting something used and abused.
“I only stumbled upon it because I was trying to find the size tag for the suit in the pockets since they are hidden in there sometimes.
“Just thought it was funny that someone would cheap out on an already affordable H&M suit just to use it for one day and return it.”
Newsweek reached out to H&M for comment.

While used items may not appeal to all buyers, thrift stores and other second hand retailers are actually big in America. According to a report from Capital One Shopping, the U.S. secondhand market generated an estimated $53 billion in revenue in 2023 alone.
There are over 25,000 resale, consignment, and not-for-profit resale shops in the U.S., and about 16-18 percent of Americans shop at thrift stores each year. Buying from thrift stores saves shoppers an average of $1,760 per year, the report said.
The post quickly went viral on social media and it has so far received over 3,900 upvotes and 182 comments on the platform.
One user, Siempre_maria, said: “I’m pretty sure my husband left both of our wedding vows in the front pocket of his suit, but it was definitely rented.”
Lois_sanb0rn said: “Now I’m tempted to slip random terrible wedding speeches into formal wear pockets lol.”
While OkCopy4627 added: “Jack got all the good lines.”
