I think it's been deleted or at least a video on YouTube which looked like it might be it.  The text said that the bride and the groom didn't get to finish everything (boquet toss, etc.) because people left early.  I agree these people knew they were being filmed.  There's no point in shaming them because for that to be successful, they'd need to be capable of shame. 

I'm not saying it's right, but I'd be very upset if I spent all of that time and money on a wedding only to have tacky guests drive the rest away.

Up until about 3:50 of the video, my reaction would have been to quietly ask the bartender not to serve them any more drinks, if he hadn't already decided that. Once the serviette stripper dance starts, venue staff would have escort Joke Glasses from the premesis.

Then I'd have the deejay play a slow dance, something that's a total buzz kill for goofing off. Was the deejay in on this? It can't be a coincidence that they were goofing off to "Can't Touch This".

Then I'd have some words with the videographer. He/she would no longer be filming these ridiculous antics, mostly consisting of really bad dancing. I would be furious to hire a videographer and have seven minutes of awful dancing, simply because that means the videographer filmed awful dancing for seven minutes. What a waste of time. Surely, there was something more interesting going on, like a grape in a fruit bowl sloooowly drying out.

I'm at five minutes... and this is so boring. I can't finish it. I'm going to fall asleep. I believe that their behaviour gets even worse, but even with the person wearing only a chair sash and a bra (or something) as a guest, I wouldn't have left.

As the bride, I wouldn't have posted the video simply because that's exactly what Joke Glasses would want. Therefore, I would not do it. I don't think it's rude to do so though.

It's been removed.  I wonder whether there was a big family fight about it, but unless the bride or groom comes here we'll never know.

I definitely would have had words with anyone who could have stopped it and the MIL would have been cut off forever for causing this disaster.  It is more than rude to create a situation that ruins someone's wedding by chasing off the majority of the guests.

It's not on YouTube, but it is still on Facebook somewhere.
