'I couldn't be more proud of the man, dad and partner you are today,' the bride said
The marriage vows from a bride and groom in Kentucky went viral after the woman poured her heart into how much she loved and was dedicated to her husband-to-be, detailing how much she appreciated him and their relationship, only to be met with a single vow in return. The groom said he would "smack that a--."
The bride started with her marriage vows first. "Cody, from the moment we met in high school, we have had a special bond that was indescribable. Since then, you have distracted me, captivated me, and challenged me in a way no one ever has. I always thought it would be difficult to find someone who would love me when I was in a million pieces. It's like trying to solve a puzzle when you don't know if you have all the right pieces."
"But when I say I couldn't be more proud of the man, dad and partner you are today, I mean it. And I have fallen in love with you over and over again," she said during the wedding ceremony, which took place in Oldham County on farmland called TheBarn.

She went on to say that Cody had been there for her in tough times, was her best friend and that he saw how "broken I was."
"You showed me that not every piece has to be in place to create something special. But love can exist in the most imperfect, lost and broken people. And. I promise to always be true to you, to support you, to frustrate you and challenge you, to hold you accountable, and to share with you the most beautiful moments of my life," she continued.
The groom stated that he had nothing prepared and then "winged it."
The officiant then turned to Cody for his turn.
"I promise to smack that a-- every chance I get," he said. "That's all I got."

Cody then started laughing, but it appeared he may have been the only one, some users commented. Others noted how the officiant of the wedding "looked so disappointed" and tried to give him another chance at redeeming himself.
"This is either going to be the most beautiful couple ever, or we're all going out in the same boat to lightning. Either way, Cody, please proceed," the wedding officiant said.
"She's the brains of the operation," Cody responded.
The officiant then pressured Cody to say something… else.
"I love you," he said. "I promise to frustrate you all the time. I promise I'm not going to listen to you. I mean, I will. I think that I got that backwards, didn't I?"
"Is that it?" the officiant said. "That's what you're going out with?"
"That's what I'm going with," said Cody. "We've made it this long."
The video went viral – racking up over 10 million views across Instagram and TikTok.

The cinematographer of the wedding, CK Entertainment Services, called it "The most interesting wedding we've ever filmed. To date. Period."

Thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your big day and I wish you guys many years of love, happiness and wingin' its!"

Other users pointed out their concerns that an ex of the groom was invited to speak at the wedding.
"I'm Cody's ex from high school. And yet you may think that's weird, but it's probably more helpful than weird," she said.
