Question

It is the wedding day of the soon-to-be Mr. and Mrs. Bloom. As the bride arrives at

the church she says, "It may be an indoor wedding, but I'm still so glad that it didn't rain
today." As the beautiful bride enters the church and walks down the aisle her dress
brushes against a helium balloon. The balloon rises up to the ceiling. The bride reaches
the groom just as the balloon hits the fire safety sprinkler system. The sprinkler is
triggered and water rains down on the entire church drenching everyone in 'indoor rain
What kind of irony is used in this story?

Answer 1

The kind of irony used in this story is situational irony. This is because the bride expresses her relief that it did not rain on her wedding day, but instead, the sprinkler system is triggered and everyone gets drenched in "indoor rain." This is unexpected and contrary to what the bride and others were hoping for, making it an example of situational irony.
