Brides with cold feet are coming up with new, creative ways to get out of their weddings.

“If you have doubts or don’t want to get married and don’t know how to refuse, don’t worry anymore, I’ll object to your wedding,” Varea reportedly wrote in an online ad, which garnered lots of buzz.

”You just need to tell me the time, place, and date,” he added, per theNew York Post. “I will appear in the middle of the ceremony saying that I am the great love of your life and we will run away together hand in hand.”

He told​​Antena 3in an interview that he initially posted the ad as a joke, but began to receive several real requests from brides to break up their weddings. He has since accepted some offers and said he had been booked as a “wedding destroyer” up until December.

He also shared in his original ad, perBrides, that his services can apply to both brides and grooms, as it was “suitable for women as well as men.” He added, “I know it may seem like a joke, but it is not.”

Todayco-hostsJenna Bush HagerandHoda Kotbweighed in on whetherthey would hireVarea for his services on Tuesday, Sept. 17. Bush Hager said that she thought his prices were a bit too much just to call off a wedding.

“No, because for free you can just say, ‘I want to break up,’ ” she said. Kotb also agreed, saying, “no,” and noted that it was an odd choice to have “the weird guy come in” to crash the wedding.

However, in the U.S. destroying a wedding may be easier said than done during the nuptials. Wedding expert Fr. Jason Lody toldBridesthat more and more ceremonies are skipping the “speak now or forever hold your peace” line or if a situation arises, there are things in place to help the couple continue with the ceremony.

“I would make sure the couple was okay and try not to draw any more attention to what just took place,” he said, per the outlet. “I would assume there would be some intervention or support from others in attendance to remove the cause for disruption.”
