The 'Welding Planner' Who Joined Two Coworkers for Life

A welder noticed two coworkers were clearly into each other, so they did what they do best — joined the pair for good.

What's going on

A professional welder noticed that two people they knew — a senior from a former job and a coworker from their own intake year — obviously liked each other, yet somehow never got around to dating. So the welder decided to apply their trade to the situation: arrange a dinner for the three of them and, as they put it, "weld" the two together. It worked. The couple got married.

The post that shared this story leaned hard into welding metaphors, and the crowd happily welded along. What follows is a thread where matchmaking, marriage, and metalwork all get treated as the same craft — defects, inspections, sparks and all.

My former senior from an old job and a coworker from my same intake year (your dōki — the colleagues who joined the company the same year as you, a bond that tends to stick) were clearly into each other but just wouldn’t get together. So as a welder, I figured I had to join them somehow — set up a dinner for the three of us and welded the two of them together. They got married.
Just praying there are no welding defects 🙏
Visual inspection: passed.
A welder who plays Cupid on the side — how lovely!
Not a wedding planner — a welding planner.

In Japanese the gag is even tighter: ウェディング (wedding) and ウェルディング (welding) sound nearly identical, so “welding planner” lands as a near-perfect homophone of “wedding planner.” The original poster keeps the persona running for the rest of the thread.

What a lovely story!
Going forward, I hope to keep standing by my customers’ happiness as a welding planner.
Just witnessed the birth of a brand-new word — not “wedding planner” but “welding planner.”
Maybe I’ll get them to fix me up with someone too.
For matchmaking inquiries, please drop by your local welder.
Nice assist!
Now that’s some fine work.
You did some fine work there 😆 congratulations 😂😂😂😂
Lovely.
Honestly so rowdy, and I love it.
Bringing them together…… welding Ꮚ⁠˘⁠ ⁠ꈊ⁠ ⁠˘⁠ ⁠Ꮚ
Sparks might fly now and then, but they’ll stay firmly joined and never come apart 🫶
Getting to be in that position — so jealous, honestly.
True craftsmanship on display ✨
That artisan spirit.
A master welder, ktkr (net slang from “kita kore,” roughly “oh here we go / called it”)
Yo!! ✨ The welder!! (the kind of appreciative shout you’d holler to cheer someone on, like calling out a performer mid-act) ✨👏👏👏✨
This person’s basically the gold standard of welders.
Seems a properly red-hot couple has been born here.
A perfect weld.

My take

A friendly safety note: if you don't hold the certification and you're not experienced, please don't try this one at home — you'll only end up getting hurt.
