Olivia Doiron and Sean Smith’s unforgettable moment, captured on video, has gone viral as an epic example of true love and team devotion.
A Playful Twist on Wedding Vows
While exchanging vows, Smith took a detour from the traditional script. “I vow to be truthful with you, to share with you my honest self, inside and out, and to hold no secrets,” he began, before adding mischievously, “But not always.”
The groom then reached into his jacket pocket and revealed the big secret – two tickets to an upcoming Buffalo Bills game. Doiron’s reaction was priceless, exclaiming “F— off!” in joyful disbelief as the wedding guests erupted in laughter and applause.
From “I Do” to the Divisional Round
The Nova Scotia couple’s gridiron dreams are about to come true in a major way. Doiron shared that the game Smith surprised her with tickets for is none other than this Sunday’s hugely anticipated AFC divisional playoff between the Bills and Baltimore Ravens.
