A woman found a recording of guests bashing her wedding

One bride on TikTok has gone viral after she disclosed that she accidentally recorded her guest at her wedding who was bashing her wedding. 

The bride, who goes by the name of Yaya Kampen, retrieved the audio book, which was done via a telephone receiver. The couple were shocked to learn what had been said about them on their wedding day by their guest as the device had recorded more than the messages that were meant to be recorded.

“It was so sensitive that it actually picked up voices from our entire venue,’’ she says.

This made the task of deciphering the messages complicated, so she decided to do it a year later.

“We did realise after our ceremony that our wedding had caused a lot of drama in our small little town and in our extended family,” Yaya says.

“And that is because we uninvited people who were clearly not supportive of gay marriage.”

Yaya did a follow-up video where she shared what was said and how she managed to hear it. At the end Yaya revealed the culprit, in a picture at the end of the video clip.

The video received so many comments along with likes and has so far generated 4.9 million views and it is growing. 

“I would not want to hear what ppl (people) were saying at my wedding, I know ppl were placing bets on how long we’d last,’’ one user wrote.

Another user said: “The way I would have listened to every single recording just for the tea.”

While another said: ‘’I wasn’t expecting the picture! I love you for this. if this is the worst they could say about your wedding it must have been phenomenal. congrats!’’
