Overview

• The October 2023 registry office ceremony in Bedfordshire resurfaced online when Andrew Fildes, 51, nervously called his 46-year-old bride “Sarah,” the name of his ex-girlfriend.
• Rebecca’s original TikTok post has attracted around 37,800–38,000 views and prompted comparisons to the ‘Ross and Rachel’ Friends scene alongside warnings of a ‘red flag.’
• Andrew explained the slip as a nerves-induced mix-up with his bride’s middle name and said he had been separated from his ex for about ten years, though outlets report slight variations on that timeline.
• In follow-up TikToks Rebecca laughed off the blunder and playfully mocked critics by insisting Andrew now “owes” her a proper wedding where he gets her name right.
• Mainstream coverage frames the episode as an embarrassing yet harmless mishap that the couple has embraced while remaining happily married.
