People Slam Groom's Wedding Vow & Advises His Bride to Run

A groom received widespread criticism from the online community after a video of his wedding became a viral sensation. In the footage, he openly acknowledged having made no preparations for his wedding vows and instead focused solely on discussing his bride's buttocks.

Weddings are grand spectacles of love that mark the union of two individuals for a lifetime of shared moments. Beyond the celebration of love and togetherness, these extravagant affairs weave in elements of laughter, surprise, and, occasionally, a touch of drama. This couldn't be more true for a couple whose big day became unforgettable for the most unusual reason.

A video on social media captured the moment a bride and groom exchanged their wedding vows at the altar. Samuel Foree, a wedding filmmaker from Louisville, posted the clip on his Instagram and TikTok profiles on December 14, 2023.

The Surprisingly Brief Wedding Vow Exchange

The footage featured Cody Sheehan, the groom, with a smirk and laughter during his unconventional seconds-long vow exchange. "I promise to smack that [expletive] every chance I get! Booyah," Cody gleefully declared. "That's all I got."

In an interesting turn of events, Kaitlin's response to the viral TikTok video left everyone astonished.

Upon hearing her husband's unconventional declaration, the bride, Kaitlin Sheehan, flashed a smile, only to lower her head later. The wedding officiant turned to Cody and questioned, "Is that it? Are you sure?"

Unfazed and still grinning Cody responded, "I didn't write nothin' out." Clearly taken aback, the officiant asked again, "That's what you're going with? All right ... cool." Cody then retorted, "We've made it this long." In the background, a person was heard saying, "Come on, Cody."

The Online Reaction

The video garnered an overwhelming response on social media, garnering over 9.5 million views on TikTok as of December 20. Online users expressed shock at the groom's casual demeanor and apparent lack of preparation, criticizing him for not taking the solemn occasion more seriously.

They voiced their disapproval at his nonchalant attitude on what is traditionally considered one of the most significant days of a person's life. Some advised the bride to reconsider her choice and suggested she distance herself to avoid potential trouble and heartbreak in the future.

"That was painfully embarrassing," one user wrote. "I watched this video from the other one hoping there was more of an explanation and it only made me more mad for her 🫠🫠🫠🫠 Sis…RUN- there's still time 😩," a second user said.

"Her first vow was you distracted me. From her true self and real love🫢🤮🤮🤮," a third person added. I actually would have walked off and said, '[We] can try again when your vows aren't vulgar and meaningless,'" a fourth person expressed.

"It's not too late, DIVORCE! RUN!" warned a fifth commenter. "Runnn girl. This won't end well. He doesn't respect you [sic]," suggested a sixth user. "Girl run [you] deserve the best," a seventh user shared.

"ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING! her vows were so beautiful and he embarrassed her in front of all of their families and friends. KAITLYN GIRL RUN!! you can do so much better 😭😭😭 [sic]," advised an eighth commenter.

"Man god gave her 2 signs, with his immature comment AND the placement of the ring on the wrong finger. I really hope he had kinder and meaningful words for her later that night," divulged another person. "Is.. is he not [embarrassed] [by] his behavior? Are YOU not [embarrassed] for filming this?" wondered yet another user.

The Bride's Response

Despite facing criticism for his non-serious attitude and unpreparedness during the wedding vows, Cody found unexpected support from his bride. In an interesting turn of events, Kaitlin's response to the viral TikTok video left everyone astonished.

"No worry guys! I'm the wife of this lovely man. We have 2 kids together and have been together for 10 years. We aren't a very serious couple," she wrote in the comments. "He also put the ring on my wrong hand. He doesn't do public speaking and my officiant knew that and still was trying to get him to say something. He's a very loved and amazing man. It was funny!! The whole wedding was funny," Kaitlin concluded.
