Maroon 5

Would anybody appreciate this? I wouldn't even if they were a band I liked:

They don't look real to me - actors.  First father of the bride looks like Donny Osmond !

Looks like a set up - like a very young Courtney Cox in this one.

Have to admit I've not watched the video as I'm 'working' wouldn't surprise me to be a fake, but they'd soon get thrown out of my do-that would make a better video, narcissistic twats.

Seems arrogant for any random band to assume they will be welcomed anywhere they choose. (Perhaps similar to thinking the world will love you if your band dumps its latest recordings onto their iThings)

Ah... but I see first couple of lines article describe the band's video as 'goofy'. That makes it all OK in the world... and I didn't need to read any more of the article or look at the vid.

Something about the video makes me think it was fabricated in some way.  Perhaps the only people who didn't know were the bride and groom. Catchy song nevertheless.

To be fair it'd be relatively easy to check if someone liked maroon 5 on social media or whatever beforehand

If it's a 'real' video I'm sure they'd go to people's that were on their mailing list etc but I love the Rolling Stones-If they turned up to my wedding without prior notice they'd be shown the door! What about the band you'd booked, all the timings, nevermind over shadowing the bride god forbid!

Fair point. I'll put my pitchfork away for now.

Keep it handy, I'll light some torches and assemble a mob.

I hate when celebs think they can just turn up at weddings uninvited. I heard that Sarah Jessica Parker did the same a while back - I would be horrified if her horse-face crept into my wedding shots.

... and I do like the fact you put a thread about 'Maroon 5' in the Off Topic section (studiously avoiding the 'Music' section... for obvious reasons!)

It was a deliberate placement, I'm glad you approve.

Indeed... the stuff of nightmares.

She could tow the carriage to be fair though, give the horses a bit of a boost.

Hate weddings,hate Maroon 5.

Not a great day out.

Now if it was Lamb Of God turning up to my wedding like they do at that kids party in the video to Redneck that would be awesome.The guests would hate it but that would just make it all the better,the bunch of freeloading twats.
