Groom slammed for his raunchy act at the wedding…
A video of a groom celebrating his ‘I do’s’ by motorboating his bride at the altar has captured the web, with an etiquette knowledgeable slamming the stunt as “highly inappropriate.”
The second unfolded during the ceremony of newlyweds Adelina and Riley at Southwood Estate in Canada.
In footage shared to TikTookay by wedding officiant Nathan Grieve, the couple had already weathered surprising rainfall before reaching their much-anticipated first kiss.
However, instead of a conventional embrace, Riley immediately buried his face into the bride’s chest, shaking his head, primarily motorboating her strapless bridal robe before pumping his fists to the crowd.

Adelina burst into laughter at the brazen show, though not everybody watching was fairly as amused.
Officiant Nathan Grieve claimed he was caught utterly off guard, captioning the post that he has “never seen” that occur before.
“Riley immediately celebrated his new wife in a way that will absolutely be remembered at family gatherings for years to come,” Mr Grieve captioned the TikTookay video.
To cap off the ceremony, the deliberate exit music failed to play as the newlyweds made their approach back up the aisle, changed instead by a blaring car alarm from the close by parking zone.
“Perfect timing. Perfect chaos. Perfectly Riley & Adelina,” Mr Grieve added.
Despite the couple’s good spirits, etiquette knowledgeable Jo Hayes gave the raunchy transfer a firm “thumbs down”.

“While it appears to be consensual in this clip — the bride doesn’t appear shocked or surprised, and doesn’t appear to try and stop him — this is a wedding ceremony,” Ms Hayes told news.com.au.
“Such inappropriately suggestive/inappropriate innuendo-type behaviour isn’t appropriate.”
Ms Hayes identified that a wedding crowd is never an adults-only viewers.
“There are likely children in the audience, for whom witnessing such behaviour would be highly inappropriate,” she explained.
“And even for adults, witnessing such behaviour can make people uncomfortable.”
Suggesting the groom could have taken inspiration from Hollywood, Ms Hayes supplied some blunt advice: “It’s highly likely he’s a fan of Wedding Crashers and thought such a stunt would be funny … darling, it’s really not”.
“Save it for the honeymoon.”
The video, which has amassed over 270,000 views, has since sparked lots of chatter on social media, with many people saying the act would immediately instigate a divorce.
“This is at the centre of a Venn diagram of things you shouldn’t do at your wedding,” one particular person wrote on TikTookay.
“That is such a red flag though. It shows a lack of respect for her and their families. My husband makes motor boating and other dirty jokes on a near-daily basis, but you will never ever catch him saying it in front of other people,” a second person commented.
“We’re definitely speechless,” a third chimed in.
“In front of the bride’s mother and father?! Yuck,” a fourth claimed
“Wait, is this real? How embarrassing and distasteful,” another person echoed.
