Bride-to-be Angelique Joan captured footage of the hilarious moment a friend on her hen do sought advice from local tradesmen – and it left others drooling over their handywork
A British woman was forced to seek help from hunky local tradesmen during a hen do in France leaving others drooling over her unfortunate incident.
Bride-to-be Angelique Joan took to TikTok to share an hilarious clip of her friend’s struggles as they partied in Cannes in the south of the country.
“When your friend’s show breaks in the middle of your hen do in Cannes, find some construction guys who have access to glue,” Angelique penned in a caption alongside her video. After the sole of her pal’s strappy heels came away from the rest of her right shoe, thankfully two male French workers was on hand to resolve the faux pas with his industrial glue gun.
As one of the grafters held her friend’s shoe aloft, a gobsmacked Angelique dressed in bridal attire couldn’t help but express her disbelief, shaking her head as she declared: “Unbelievable.”
On completion of the job, meanwhile, the tradesmen were met with cheers from a crowd that had congregated to witness their work. Their handywork impressed TikTok users too, one of whom quipped in response: “Why is this attractive?!”
A second joked: “I will have give them my number! Love men who can resolve problems.” While a third person added: “We have a couple of men left in the world after all.”
While a fourth TikTok user praised: “The sheer concentration and dedication of those men!” To which Angelique replied: “People are SO nice in south of France.”
Three days earlier, Angelique had shared another video in which she admitted she was still clueless as to where her party was headed. “My hen do starts tomorrow and my girlfriend’s are flying me somewhere and I have no idea where,” she said.
Angelique continued: “I have no idea about anything. I wanted it that way – I wanted the surprise because how rare is it that you get a surprise in life?
“I wanted nothing to do with the planning – I trust my two maids of honour so I know it is going to be amazing. All I know is it will be somewhere warm and there’s a beach.”
With hindsight being a wonderful thing, Angelique closed: “So what could go wrong? I have not idea what to expect. I’ll take you on the journey with me – I am so excited.”
One TikTok user replied: “I want to know everything, I absolutely hate a surprise. But I love surprising other people. It’s lovely they’re doing that for you!”
While a second confessed: “I love the idea of a surprise but, I’m a very type A person! I like to know what to pack ! I’m too self conscious for surprises.”
