My girlfriend and I found out that we were having a boy 2 weeks ago at our gender reveal party. We decided to do cut a cake and we had a projector in the back. The cake was either supposed to be blue or pink but when we cut into it, it was neither. My sister, who was in charge of the cake, pulled a little joke and it was the projector that revealed that we were having a boy. I saw the color in the back almost instantly but my girlfriend did not. Once she did find out that we were having a boy, she was very happy and everything was great.
Her cousin posted the video online and it went viral on another account that posts gender reveals. In the video, you don’t see that the video cut my girlfriend’s reaction when she turned around, all you see are those few seconds afterwards where she is visibly annoyed that the cake has no color. She is extremely embarrassed about it all. There were so many hate comments under that video and my girlfriend literally cried about it. I don’t know what I can do to cheer her up. Any suggestions are welcomed.
