Who's Cody, The Groom With The Bad Wedding Vows? TikTok's 'C'mon Cody' Trend And Discourse Explained
A video of a groom named Cody reading his wedding vows has gone viral on TikTok and Instagram. Many believe that Cody's vows for his bride Kaitlin were far from romantic and even a bit cringy.
Over the past few days, reactions, discourse and memes about the video have surfaced across social media, centering on the phrase "C'mon Cody," which portrays mass disapproval. Is anyone on Cody's side in this? It's hard to tell. He's quickly become the source of the internet's "female rage."
Are you curious about where the original video was posted and why it's gone viral? Also, who is this Cody anyway? Let's explain.
Who Is Cody From The Wedding Vows Video?
As for right now, it's unclear who Cody is. Internet sleuths have not yet uncovered his occupation and true nature, making it hard to judge his objectively bad vows completely.
As far as we know, Cody and his bride Kaitlin are from the Louisville, Kentucky area per the location of the wedding company that posted the original videos.
Where Was The Original Video Posted?
Cody's wedding vows were originally posted by the Instagram and TikTok accounts of @ckentertainmentservices headed by a man named Samuel Foree. He appears to run a company that films weddings.
On both video platforms, Cody's wedding vows went mega-viral, especially on TikTok, where over 9.5 million people watched the scene in less than a week.

What Are Some Reactions To Cody's Wedding Vows?
Reactions to Cody's vows were overwhelmingly disappointed. On TikTok, the viral video earned numerous duets in which people went as far as to say that Kaitlin, the bride, should run away.
As TikTok got its fair share of reactions, Twitter / X users picked up on the discourse too, spreading their own opinions on why Cody's vows were downright horrible. Overall, it's hard to pinpoint support for the groom in question outside of his own wedding party.
