Nothing ruins a wedding toast quite like your ex or uninvited admirer grabbing the mic and turning it into a cringe-filled confession of love, but that’s exactly what happened to New York groom Dan Freed. What started as a dreamy celebration turned into viral mayhem after an unhinged woman, one Freed has since dubbed a “stalker” hijacked his wedding speech lineup and made things extremely personal.
In what can only be described as a real-life New York soap opera moment, footage of the reception chaos surfaced on TikTok, where it quickly amassed over 1 million views. And once you hear what went down, it’s no wonder the internet is obsessed.
“I let this crazy woman attend my wedding and she crashed out,” Freed shared via closed captions on the video, a low-key warning for anyone thinking of being “the bigger person” when dealing with emotionally volatile ex-friends.
New York Wedding Turns To Chaos After Speech Crash Out
At first, the scene might’ve passed as awkward-but-harmless. The blonde guest, whose identity remains unknown, stepped up to the mic and began her speech with what seemed like a heartfelt, if slightly over-the-top, compliment. “You are the luckiest woman in the world,” she told Freed’s new bride Carolyn. “Dan is such a great guy. He’s got everything a woman could ever want.
However, the speech didn’t stop there. The guest continued gushing about Dan, calling him “kind, generous, successful, gorgeous,” and yes, even throwing in a compliment about his “incredible body.”
Then she ripped the mic off the stand and declared she was “just going to speak from the heart.” That’s when things turned from weird to chaos. “I would do anything to be you, Carolyn,” she blurted, staring straight at the bride. “No really, I would… because, Dan, you never even gave us a chance.”
The woman proceeded to rant about their past relationship, revealing she once taught him how to make crab cakes, which somehow became the emotional linchpin of the meltdown. And if you thought it couldn’t get worse: “What does she have that I don’t?” she screamed. “I’m Asian, too. I can dye my hair black.”
Worst Wedding Speech Ever?
The moment Dan snatched the mic from her was the collective emotional peak for guests, who had gone from laughing awkwardly to dead-silent shock. Online, viewers were split between horror, sympathy, and skepticism.
Some commenters offered Carolyn emotional support, while others debated whether the whole thing was staged. After all, wedding stunts aren’t unheard of in the age of TikTok. But Freed insists it was not a prank.
“It was very awkward,” he admitted in response to commenters. “I think the laughs turned to anger really fast.” While the internet continues to dissect the drama and play detective, one thing’s clear, this New York wedding toast will go down in viral history as one of the wildest ever.
