The video was originally posted on TikTok by user cynthiaumunze. Twitter user Mahuntsu later shared it with the caption, “My body’s here with you, but my mind is outside of town.” The video opens to show a couple walking down the aisle hand-in-hand. However, the groom remains fixated on his phone. As they exit the church, the bride confronts him, but it only seems to irritate him. Netizens are now expressing their dismay, pointing out what they perceive as a ‘major red flag’. Some are even suggesting that the bride should consider an annulment.
