A Woman Accidentally Texted Sarah Michelle Gellar Her Engagement News and Got an Epic Response
After her boyfriend recently popped the question, Georgia resident Charlyn Willis did what any newly engaged person does: She picked up her phone and told her family the good news. But in what she thought was a text to her sister, Willis ended up disclosing the announcement—and her engagement ring selfie, of course—to someone slightly outside of her inner circle: None other than Buffy actress and Cruel Intentions scene-stealer Sarah Michelle Gellar.
After receiving the text, Gellar responded in an epic (and unsurprisingly cool) way: by posting Willis’ photo to her own Instagram story and Facebook page asking followers to send well-wishes to the bride-to-be. “This is #CharlynWillis. She got engaged yesterday, and meant to text her sister, but in all the excitement, got me instead,” wrote Gellar on Facebook. “Please help me say congrats to Charlyn. (And her fiancé whose name I don’t know).”
Take a look, below:
If that’s not the most legendary way to tell the world that your fiancé put a ring on it, I don’t know what is. And apparently Willis thinks so too. “I guess the best way to announce your engagement is to have a celebrity do it for you,” she wrote in a Facebook post this weekend, later following up with: “Thank you Sarah…You’ve truly made my engagement experience even more of a life changer! Please know when we set a date, I’ll be reaching out to invite you, Freddie, and the kids! ????”
In the end, if Willis does end up inviting the Gellar/Prinze Jr. family, that’s going to be one hell of a wedding…thanks to one hell of a wrong number.
