Christina, 38, from Texas, shared an image of her in the dino-suit from the ceremony to Facebook after the wedding on August 10 – and it quickly went viral. She captioned the post: ‘When you’re maid of honor and told you can wear anything you choose… I regret nothing.’

‘About a year ago my big sister texted me asking if I would be her maid of honor,’ she recalled. ‘She, knowing that I’m not a big fan of wearing formal dresses and that I probably wouldn’t have a lot of money to buy something really nice, reassured me by letting me know that I could pick out any outfit that I choose.

‘I was trying to think of something that I would be willing to wear more than once and thought to myself, “Well, she did say anything, and if I’m spending more than $50, I want it to be a dinosaur costume, because they’re fantastic and I’ve always wanted one.

‘I sent her a text so that she could have a laugh – surprisingly she was ok with it!’
