A TikToker called a woman 'oblivious' for interrupting a beach wedding ceremony, but viewers overwhelmingly defended her for simply walking on a public path

• A TikToker filmed what looked like a woman walking in front of a bride during her beach wedding processional.
• The TikToker called the woman "oblivious" for doing so, but viewers rushed to defend her.

A TikToker sparked a heated debate with a viral video that he said captured an "oblivious lady" interrupting a picturesque beach wedding.

The clip, with 1.3 million views, was shared last month by the user @CoryAtRandom, who referred to the clip in a hashtag as a "#weddingfail."

In an overhead view looking down at the beach, @CoryAtRandom filmed bridesmaids in matching sage green dresses walking in a processional from on what appeared to be a public beach path. The long walk led them to a wedding setup with chairs and a billowing tent. The TikToker then zooms in on a woman in a hat and wrapped in a beach towel, walking aimlessly into the processional — right in front of what appears to be the bride.

"They're going to walk right through the middle," he narrates, as the woman stops to observe the ceremony after she crossed. "Just wait a second."

The clip generated intense debate on TikTok, with many commenters rushing to the woman's defense for simply walking on a public path.

"Who gets married on a very busy public beach?" one of the clip's top commenters wrote, as others suggested that the couple should've rented a private beach for their wedding to avoid this. "Where did you expect her to go?" another echoed. "That's the entrance to the beach."

Some commenters even criticized the TikToker, though he clarified he wasn't involved with the wedding: "I just love capturing things I find are funny and then watching all the awesome comments," he wrote, and added in a separate comment that the ceremony seemed "very sweet."

"I got married on the beach and this is normal," another commenter weighed in. "People were walking by in the surf waving at us...it was cute."

The TikToker did not respond to Insider's request for comment.

Beyond his initial video, though, which has gone viral, Cory has shared several other beach wedding videos to his page. In one, he suggested couples "plan your beach wedding around rainstorms to keep swimmers out of your pictures," which nabbed 270,000 views.

And in another, he captured two dueling beach weddings that appeared to occur within walking distance from one another.
