Teary groom gets baffled after being handed cotton swabs instead of tissues
An emotional groom had a hilariously adorable reaction after he was handed cotton swabs not once but twice to dry his tears. The video will leave you smiling.
It is common to hand a tissue to someone who is crying, and this groom expected the same when he got emotional during his wedding ceremony. However, he was left rather baffled when instead of a tissue, he was handed a cotton swab to wipe his tears.
A US-based wedding photographer, @danielkfilms, shared a video of the incident on Instagram. “What’s a Q-tip gonna do???” reads the caption posted along with the clip, referencing a line the confused groom keeps on saying over and over. Q-tip is a popular cotton swab brand in the US and Canada.

The video opens to show the groom saying “Laura I promise you everything I have.” He then gets emotional and goes on to say, “Uh, oh. I am crying.” At this point, the marriage officiant takes something out of her pocket and hands it over to the crying groom. He instantly reacts and says, “What’s a Q-tip gonna do?”
At this point, the bride intervenes and tries explaining that the swab will help the groom to dry his tears without messing up his makeup. At first, the groom tries it but fails to understand the process. The groom, still emotional, asks for a tissue but gets a cotton swab again from one of the bridesmaids. To this, he again goes on to say “What’s a Q-tip going to do.”
The adorably hilarious video ends with him taking out his pocket square to use it as a tissue. What makes the video even more heartwarming to watch is the bride's reaction to the situation.
