An emotional groom has gone viral thanks to his tear-filled reaction to his wife coming down the aisle.
William Bunns, from Hammond, Louisiana, couldn’t stop bawling at wife Amanda’s entrance and at one stage even tried to shake it off – much to the amusement of friends and family in attendance.
At one point in the ceremony, captured by videographer Rhett Crouch, one of William’s groomsmen had to lean over and wipe away the groom’s tears using a handkerchief.
The moment took place at Liuzza Farms, in Amite, Louisiana, on April 16, 2021 – but Rhett didn’t share the video on his social media channels until more than a year later.
After receiving almost 10 million views on social media, it was dubbed the “best groom reaction” by Rhett and thousands of users who backed him up.

Speaking of the moment, Amanda said: “Prior to walking down the aisle, my heart was racing, palms sweaty and I was so anxious.
“There were so many emotions I was feeling at that moment, but as soon as the doors opened, and I could see William everything around me just seemed to stop.
“For weeks leading up to the wedding, I would joke with him about how he was going to cry when he saw me.
“He would always come back with, ‘No I’m not. I don’t cry,’ so seeing him react the way he did made me laugh but also made me feel so happy knowing I was going to get to spend the rest of my life with him.”
