Reactions from the internet
The internet has been buzzing with reactions. One user quipped, "When your portfolio is more important than your wedding vows!" Many found humour in the groom's apparent priority, with another user commenting, "I think he’s more invested in his stocks than his bride."
Others expressed a mix of disbelief and amusement. "He’s definitely planning to invest in a honeymoon later, but first things first – the stocks!" one wrote. Another netizen noted, "Talk about ‘multi-tasking’ – nothing beats trading while saying ‘I do’."
The video also sparked debates on the growing obsession with technology. "This is what happens when you can’t let go of your work, even for a moment," said one viewer. Meanwhile, another commenter joked, "Guess he’s trying to make the wedding a profitable venture!"
Yet, some were more understanding. "Maybe he's just doing his job. People can’t escape the stock market these days," one person suggested, adding a more serious perspective to the conversation.
