The bride is beaming — but her new husband’s just phoning it in.
Rather than throwing rice at a newlywed couple in celebration of their recent wedding, social media skeptics are throwing shade after the distracted groom was allegedly caught texting someone as they strolled down the aisle after saying “I Do.”
“This marriage is over,” predicted an outraged commenter on Twitter, where re-posted TikTok footage of the phone-happy hubby has amassed over 40.8 million views.
“This is insane… disrespectful and condescending. Totally uncalled for,” barked another stunned spectator beneath the viral video tweet.
In the concerning clip — which was originally shared by TikTok user @CynthiaUmunze and has since been deleted — the unnamed groom‘s eyes are virtually glued to his cellular device as he and the bride, who’s cutting a huge smile and thanking guests for their well-wishes, exit the church.
Once outside, the bride appears to confront her fella about his foul phone faux pas, but rather than apologize, he grimaces in frustration, seemingly prompting his new wife to drop the issue and feign a joyful look.
But digital wedding watchers weren’t buying it.
“Imagine on your day not being happy. This man was either forced or doesn’t love this lady. Why getting married then?,” said a stunned Twitter onlooker.
“Get an annulment NOW!!!!!!,” an equally peeved viewer tweeted, in part.
“[He’s] talking to his side chick,” a suspicious cynic added.
Another wrote, in part, “Nothing. Absolutely nothing is that important…There is no defense for this.”
However, this woman’s man isn’t the only husband to behave badly on his big day.
Cyberspace erupted when an October 2022 bride named Heather, from North Carolina, broadcasted video of her bridesmaid groping the groom’s crotch in wedding pictures. And a nearly-identical firestorm ignited online in February when podcasters vitally recounted the tale of an unidentified bride catching her groom being breastfed by his mother just before the ceremony.
In both instances, the newly-hitched women were urged by virtual commentators to recognize the red flags and “run” away from their shady sweethearts.
And similar advice is now being offered to texting groom’s hapless honey.
“Girl, get out!” a tweeter advised, in part.
“Know your worth,” another encouraged.
Thus far, neither the bride nor groom have publicly commented on their controversial nuptials.
