When Your Gown‑Failing Wife Is MIA, Just Bring a Pillow
Everyone knows the classic line from a wedding vow: “To have and to hold.” It’s a promise to stick together through thick and thin. But what if the “thin” part disappears mid‑vacation because your partner has to be somewhere else and you’re stuck alone on a sun‑bleached island? A Filipino husband named Raymond got the perfect creative answer.
The Coron Calamity
Raymond and his wife Joanne had booked a trip to Coron, Palawan, for early July. Joanne, a freelance model, had a last‑minute work commit‑ment that forced her to cancel. Even though her calendar was all booked, she still wanted to feel close to her husband.
Enter the Goofy Pillow
Instead of renting a second chair or finding a local companion, Raymond decided to bring a “goofy pillow” that bore a photo of Joanne’s face. He said it’s “a quirky way to keep her in every step of the journey.” On July 7, the fitness trainer (yes, he’s a trainer) kicked off his holiday by posting a video of the pillow strutting down a luggage conveyor belt like it was on a runway.
Every Activity, Every Photo, Every “Pillow” Moment
- He posted a series of beach selfies featuring the pillow sportsman‑style.
- Even local tourists got in on the fun, posing side‑by‑side with the pillow.
- When a small tiff arose early on the day of the trip, the photos spun her joy back in promptly.
- After all, Joanie arrived to pick him up at the airport—complete with a selfie beside the pillow.
Comfort for the Homebound
While Raymond was jetting out, he posted updates, keeping the spirits high. Meanwhile, Joanne perhaps had a friend over or attended a workshop—she wasn’t left in a vacuum after all.
Quick Side Note on the “Nostril Hand” Trend
Back in 2016, a Taiwanese couple, Forrest and Agnes, went full quirky on a Hawaii trip. They captured a photo where Agnes put her fingers over Forrest’s nostrils while they spotted the Pearl Harbor Museum. A hilarious twist on the typical “hand‑hold” pose that keeps things interesting for social media feeds.
So, if your spouse credentials don’t match your travel plans, a pillow with her face may be your (and your followers’) most creative small‑step solution.
