Nobody likes a wedding crasher — unless that crasher is Philadelphia Flyers mascot and hero of the Weird Internet, Gritty.
On Friday, photos and videos surfaced from a wedding in Philadelphia where the Great Orange One appears to have dropped in unannounced to the utter delight to everyone involved.
Now, there’s still a question as to whether or not this is THE Gritty or simply an impostor that goes around Philly posing as the OG Gritty, kind of like a mall Santa. We’ve reached out to the Flyers for comment but either way, it seems the wedding guests were more than happy to have Gritty bring his weird, googly-eyed brand of fun to the party. Of course, observers on social media — where Gritty became an instant legend — were more than a little jealous.
DAMN IT GRITTY, WE SAID CRASH THE BOARDS, NOT THE BRIDES.

Gritty has been making the rounds since his debut this fall, appearing in wedding cake form and as the symbol of the resistance against a recent alt-right protest in Philadelphia.
It just goes to show how rapidly Gritty has risen to become the most powerful of symbols: he is whatever you want him to be.
Long live Gritty.
