1:41 learn the man had organized a wedding for them the bride said she became uncomfortable and wanted to leave but the groom told her it was quote a simple prank when I got there I didn't see anybody in white I asked him what's happening he told me cuz she's expecting a white party he told me he's organizing a prank wedding for his social Media or social medias as some people say to be precise Instagram because he wants to boost his content and wants to start monetizing his Instagram page for tuber scum Dum oh in court footage of the ceremony was played showing the couple exchanging vows and rings and while the bride appeared to enthusiastically participate in the ceremony she told the court it was quote all an act we had to make it all look real she said she only discovered that sham wedding was legal which is the craziest part of the prank

2:31 maybe she sign papers after she after he asked her to add his name to her application for permanent residency she said the groom told her he was not a permanent resident and had organized the marriage to help him smart smart smart she said she was Furious and had been lied to from from the beginning and she said that she thought love was perhaps dead so she actually liked the guy he's just trying to get he's trying to get a good Visa I heard getting a Visa or a GRE card in Australia is really hard where's he from he's from Michigan Germany oh American he's from Austria Austria oh Melbourne Austria melbour and Sydney Austria that's kind of a type so she's she's Australian and man this this is I thought it was just for likes but he actually wants citizenship that's full turn of events

3:22 so the C Court was able to anol the marriage based on all this evidence damn wow that's a great cool this guy's a piece of ████ wild that's a crazy but she's also kind of like are you dumb yeah how do you get duped like that she said by the way she's like I looked at his Instagram and he's not even that big on Instagram she says he only has 177,000 followers which anyone in their mom has 17's a lot though that's a lot isn't aren't they still considered a micro influencer or something yeah but they're still influenc I think regular people have like 300 or beta influencer a cuck influencer cuck influencer damn you want to talk about that more yeah a little bit I can go on for 20 minutes on that I don't think Bart can dude he just shuts down Bart's not B dud he goes into

4:12 a fug State wake him up wake him up a Fugue State uh yeah he testified that um the guy testified after they met he told her he was bisexual and that she was quote cool with it ████ wait what why would he have to explain that I don't know bro I don't know do not know I'm bisexual dude he told the court he proposed to her a day before the wedding the bride did not include the proposal in her affidavit to the court but did not deny in court however he could not explain why the wedding had to occur so soon after the proposal or why they were married in Sydney instead of Melbourne it's good good point we both know we all know that every time you say Melbourne Melbourne is is he really from the US or was originally that's that's just a weird he's he's an Indian guy no you said Michigan I don't know if you were ████ around no I was ████

5:02 around for sure dude he's from he's from he's from Melbourne I want to know his original country no he's from Melbourne yeah oh so it's not a marriage scam he's a he's a Outback e mate oh ████ so he's just a creep they call what do they call those no no you're right cuz cuz you're talking about the the immigration issue he's so he's trying to get to Melbourne he he is not from right he's not originally from Australia at all yeah so I'm trying to figure out where he's originally from it doesn't show India it doesn't actually say honestly oh he's Romania no I don't think they I actually don't think they know like where he's from I'm like why would they not add this vital piece of ████ information I don't know is this an Australian publication um this is from an austral

5:54 Austrian publication called The Guardian you know Australia's really like sensitive about like being being kind of like woke they're like really yeah they have a different level of woke yeah they may not maybe they don't want to say cuz they don't want to be discriminatory or really I don't want to paint that country in a bad light what's weird about this article is they called them a Melborne couple like they don't say like he's from the blah blah blah right even though the the imig scam and that's like the most that to me that was the most loudest thing that it's like wow that's really interesting amen cuz or it you it draws you in cuz you think oh it's just for the likes he's trying to be famous exactly but it he's trying to pull a fast one and get it uh citizenship he sounds Algerian he's trying to get permanent residency I don't know if there's do not redeem ma'am ma'am do not redeem

6:47 ma'am one of the better videos I think I've seen in a while um yeah it doesn't actually say where he's from at all damn yeah I think you're probably right it's it's a woke thing it could be yeah that's crazy how to protect the criminals you know the Jud you know what's funny though this whole time everyone's like poor girl and I'm thinking man you probably so dumb cuz every step of the way it was probably red flags and she's like Love is Blind you know I just I just believe in him he's cute yeah it's like I just love him never know it's sad well it the good thing is that she's able to identify how how good of a mark she is now that's true I I I think that's true like spoken like a true Predator but the thing is if okay you need to fix St you know what I mean like if she liked him right yeah he he could have probably just

7:37 authentically got married but why the ████ did he have to do it like this I do not know no logical questions here cuz that's so funny that's true yeah cuz she's the one that's like I can't believe that there's there's no love anymore because her heart is broken right cuz she would have probably just married this dude under authentic like like done the classic ████ boy way of like we're together we're getting married M he could just been he could have been a normal man about it yeah what the ████ instead he was an influencer which is way weirder the judge also said this is kind of actually wild the applicant did not have a single family member or friend present at the alleged wedding ceremony she was religious so it's like there was no Witnesses so why it's a void isn't it wow so this guy didn't do his planning

8:27 at all oh cuz she had to have people on in her party well in her religion like that's what you want right is a witness you have to have witness oh ████ well there were no Witnesses no she said none of her Witnesses not a single family member or friend present for her that's weird yeah whereas like if Elvis is doing it you just need like literally just anyone in the room to be a witness if he's officiating yeah then you need you need Michael Jackson or Prince yeah impersonation yeah one of them you to pay extra for for Michael Jackson we those was lit that's why I know by the way he was hilarious it was good right was dope he was real Elvis he was so real Elvis hey don't you have a relative that got married at the Excalibur yeah it's your sister so did the officient was it Merlin or was it like a knight or a king Merlin Merin I
