Now that’s a party.

The size of one couple’s bridal party has people’s jaws on the floor.

Newlyweds Jack McGowan from Scotland and Kathryn from Northern Ireland, tied the knot last week alongside 95 bridesmaids.

Once Jack got down on one knee and popped the question, the couple told BBC News that they were already dreaming about a large bridal party.

Kathryn shared that she initially pondered the idea of how many bridesmaids she could possibly have for her wedding. This curiosity led her to consider having just a handful of bridesmaids, but the numbers kept increasing.

Initially planning for seven or eight people to support them on their big day, the bridesmaid count eventually skyrocketed to 95 individuals, spanning from ages six to 40.

During their wedding in Northern Ireland, the couple hosted a total of 250 guests. Surprisingly, nearly half of the attendees took on the role of a bridesmaid, showcasing the grand scale of their bridal party.

“All my dancers and my friends that have been in my life for a long time, they’re still very much a massive part of my life,” she said, according to BBC News.

While 95 women coordinated to support the bride — the groom only had eight groomsmen.

But he didn’t seem to mind that his side was outnumbered. “I’m used to these big events with lots and lots of our dancers, so I strangely expected nothing less,” he said.

One would assume it was a chaotic scene, but surprisingly, it was the opposite. “The girls all know how to get in formation and organise themselves very quickly,” the glowing bride said.

“It was absolutely brilliant,” said the beaming groom. “It was better than we ever imagined, there was dancing and piping all day long.”

While things seemed to go without a hitch for the McGowans and their choice of 95 bridesmaids — another bride got blasted online for how she went about picking her group of gals.

The bride’s sister shared the story in the AITA forum.

“Every single one of them [the bridesmaids] is someone she’s either not that close to or has made fun of before for being ‘awkward’ or ‘not photogenic,’” the poster wrote, noting that none of her sisters’ friends were asked to be a part of her special day.

The bride saw nothing wrong with her bizarre decision and justified it, saying, “You don’t want people who’ll outshine you in your own pictures.’”

“It’s not that deep. I just want to feel confident that day, and I’m allowed to be a little selfish for my wedding,” continued the bride.
