“Prove you’re dramatic without saying it outright,” the video caption read. Meanwhile, on-screen text explained, “Is this a funeral? No, this is how my friend decided to walk down the aisle.”
In the footage, certain guests displayed evident confusion at the unconventional entrance. While the reactions of the groom and bride were not shown, online viewers criticized the video as disrespectful, condemning the groom for his peculiar wedding choice.
Some online comments expressed that they would have left if they were the bride, while others admitted feeling embarrassment just watching the video.
“I would definitely be a ‘runaway bride,'” one user commented. “I’m embarrassed, and I’m not even there,” remarked another.
Some took a lighthearted approach, joking about the groom’s literal interpretation of the phrase “‘Til death do us part.”
“I guess this is his way of saying it is definitely till death do they part,” one user quipped.
In the midst of the online banter, questions arose about the bride’s involvement. Some wondered if she was part of planning the stunt or if the groom had kept her in the dark.
“I need to see the bride,” one user insisted. “Because if she isn’t 3x as dramatic as him, then I don’t want any of it!”
