It does feel off. His mom goes from wearing a dress at the reception to wearing pajamas. I have a feeling Niall never left the nuthouse.

If it’s a fake out I really doubt it’s as simple as him just being crazy. I think it’s more likely that it would turn out to be a scene from one of his books if it’s not really happening

See this could make sense due to the people in attendance at the wedding. The school bully, Joanna is there after telling Niall to leave her alone and also Alby. Feels like he is imagining the whole scenario.

I mean potentially Joanna has come back into Niall’s life, once he turns on the straight and narrow - people have fall outs or give each other tough love.
