Watch this Bride and Groom’s Epic Wedding Exit on a Slip and Slide: 'So Happy We Went for It!' (Exclusive)

"My advice to anyone wedding planning: if there’s something you want to incorporate, traditional or non-traditional, do it!" Lindsey Harris tells PEOPLE

When Lindsey Harris and her now-husband Rhett Harris, were searching for a wedding venue Lindsey hoped to find a place that had a pool. She tells PEOPLE she had a vision where at the end of the reception party she, her husband and all the guests would jump in together as a final send-off.

But after looking around the couple couldn't find a venue that struck them, so they decided to have their reception in Rhett's childhood home’s backyard. The only catch? It had no pool. That's when Lindsey came up with a new idea – a slip and slide.

In August 2022, Lindsey, 25, posted a video on TikTok of her and Rhett, 27, running down onto the slip and slide from their wedding on Aug. 31, 2019, in South Weber, UT. Since then, it's gone viral with 1.6 million views. Looking back on the moment now she says she has "zero regrets."

"I always knew I wanted my wedding to be fun and enjoyable more than anything," Lindsey, 25, says. "I hated when people told me 'Your wedding is just about pleasantries with extended family you’ve never met before' or anything along the lines that insinuated that weddings were often boring or stressful, etc."

She continues: "My priority was to have the best day of my life with the love of my life, my family, friends, and anyone else who wanted to celebrate! I wanted to have a massive party in simple terms hahaha."

"I also had been trying to brainstorm creative send-off ideas other than the ones you often see," she adds. "After I knew our reception wouldn’t have a pool, I thought a slip-and-slide would be the next best thing… little did I know it would turn out even better. It exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone seeking a unique and memorable send-off!"

Before her wedding day, Lindsey says that she told her close family and friends about the slip-and-slide send-off.

"My mom was probably the most hesitant when initially hearing the idea, but it only took her about 5 minutes to get on board with the plan," she says. "She said something along the lines of, 'It's your wedding - whatever you and Rhett want to do, we’ll support you' and that was that. "

"My in-laws were equally supportive and excited for us," she continues. "I don’t think anyone knew 100% what to expect or how it would actually turn out, but they all agreed after the fact that it was the highlight of the day! The whole day was incredible, but the send-off was the cherry on top in my opinion."

Lindsey also says that the slip and slide was easy to execute. She explains how she and her dad went to Home Depot and purchased a 10-ft x 100-ft clear plastic sheeting, and baby soap at Walmart.

The night before the wedding, she shares how she thought it would be extra fun if all of her guests had squirt guns too. Her parents found some at local party stores to help her vision come to life.

"It was probably 9 p.m. the night before my wedding when I realized I also still didn’t have a white swimsuit to go down the slip-and-slide in," she says. "So while my parents were out shopping for the last-minute water guns, two of my best friends took me to Target. We ended up finding a white one-piece and sarong for me to wear."

After going down the slide a few times, by themselves, and then with their guests, the couple left to go stay one night in Salt Lake City at the Grand America Hotel before heading on to the rest of their honeymoon the following day.

"The energy was incredible, vibes were high, everyone was laughing and supportive. We went down multiple times before actually leaving! Our wedding party and a few guests ended up going down the slide as well - dresses, suits, and all!" she says.

"I look back on my wedding and seriously loved every second," Lindsey continues. "My advice to anyone wedding planning: if there’s something you want to incorporate, traditional or non-traditional, do it! It’s your day, and anyone who truly cares about you will support your ideas. The slip-and-slide has become a core memory for me and I’m so happy we went for it!"
