A couple's wedding in Mammoth Lakes, California, took an unexpected turn on Saturday (August 8) when Shaboozey floated by on the Upper Owens River. Just minutes before the ceremony at Brown’s Owens River Campground, Shaboozey, 31, and a group of fellow floaters passed by on inner tubes. The couple, who wish to remain anonymous, were taking photos when the surprise guest made his appearance.
The incident was captured in a video shared by Southern California wedding planner K. Rose Events on Instagram. The video shows Shaboozey, known for his song "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," floating by with a group participating in The Woolly Run, a recreational outing that combines motorsports and outdoor activities. As Shaboozey floated by, he raised his arms and stuck his tongue out for the camera, while the group cheered for the couple.
The wedding planner, Callie Smith, decided to pause the ceremony to let the floaters pass, allowing for the unexpected photo opportunity. Shaboozey commented on the Instagram post, congratulating the couple and expressing his amusement at the situation.
The Woolly Run, which took place from August 5 to 9, is an annual event that includes camping along the Owens River. Shaboozey's appearance at the wedding added a memorable twist to the couple's special day, with the video quickly going viral and gaining over 500,000 likes.
