The clip, shared on TikTok by @chistrings, showcased the woman’s strong, humorous stance on marriage finances, garnering massive views and comments from viewers who largely supported her belief.
The video, shared on TikTok by @chistrings, captures the bride reading her vows alongside her groom, with the wedding officiant-her father, according to reports-leading the ceremony.

The officiant repeated the phrase, giving her a chance to correct herself, but she doubled down, saying the same thing. Her man, who clearly knows his woman's funny and firm character, looked towards the guests, unable to hold back his laughter. When finally called to say the part, she conceded, but said it in a very soft, almost whispered tone with a big smile, making the crowd crack up even more.

"She is right, we do not call for 'poorer' in our marriage. Ya'll can say that, but we're going to say for richer."
User @Lida Afrika shared:
"She was so serious too 🥰. She didn’t realise it would be a laughing moment. I think she really meant it as an uplift, but LMAO. People are silly."
User @user826 said:
"She didn’t fall for the “poorer” part! Well done! Those vows are outdated and a story we really don’t need to continue."
User @sozzleknocker commented:
"I disagree! Say the vow. Saying the vow isn't speaking poverty into your life. It says the man is worth more than anything that can happen. There are plenty of ways to speak richness into living afterwards."
