Like having your marriage posted on social media so your witness can score upvotes?

Idk why you sound a little cynic about the video, it’s cute! I don’t think I’d post about it though, I’m generally not huge into posting pics of my life on socials often anyway

Posting an intimate moment of a stranger’s marriage, whom the witness did nothing nor had any ties to, on social media for upvotes is peak American.

Oh I do hope they had permission to post, I’m usually not a big fan of people being recorded without permission, but tbh this feels like the type of situation you’d want recorded anyway.

I don’t wanna sound rude, but it feels maybe also a bit American to assume that everything people share online is for outside validation. Sometimes you’re just sharing a nice moment because it was funny or sweet. A little off topic but it reminds me when people tell me I posted a comment for karma when I still don’t understand what karma is or what it’s supposed to be useful for lol

I got married at my city hall, in Canada in the winter. So I was wearing my white wedding dress from the thrift store, and snow boots underneath. The room we used had a meeting right after us, and some people who came early got to watch! I was posted on their socials for the city because they all loved it.

I agree that not everything is used for validation, sometimes its a funny, or sweet and fun moment that the person just wants to share with others.

Good luck with your upcoming marriage to you and your friend!!
