![]() ![]() She went on to explain that “ did build a stage, and a huge white curtain was surrounding it. Liesl was able to confirm for me that the performance was an unknown part of the wedding for most of the people there the groom, the DJ, and the venue manager were aware, but other than that, “no one else knew,” she told me. I had a chance to ask a few questions of Liesl Kadile, who owns Liesl Diesel Photo and was one of two photographers shooting for a couple at a reception on 12/6/14, a reception at which Maroon 5 did indeed do a surprise performance. Through some digging, reaching out, and fact-checking, I can confirm that at least two of the seven weddings featured in the music video were, in fact, real-life weddings. All we did was some simple continuity changes to match each one as best we could.” This statement seems to present the “official” word is that the band did indeed go to several weddings, all of which had wedding bands performing and all of which had only one person – the groom – that was “in the know” prior to the band’s arrival. They had stages set up for their actual wedding band already. However they disclosed it to their bride and the wedding party, we’re not sure, but they all wanted it to be as equally a surprise as we did. Credit: & Ī PR representative for the band made this statement to Entertainment Tonight: “ Only the grooms knew in each case. Every single person at the weddings seems not only extremely surprised, but they seem extremely well-timed with their surprise on camera can you really be that surprised with multiple cameramen coming in and swarming everywhere around the party? The situation begs the question: are all seven weddings actual events with real-life people tying the knot? This is where the truth-versus-fiction aspect starts to get fuzzy. ![]() By my count, the video shows seven different weddings: different couples, different venues, and different stage set-ups for the band themselves. In the opening sequence of the music video, lead singer Adam Levine is ready to hop into a few cars with his fellow band members and a few roadie-type folks, and he stops to look into the camera and say “It’s Decemwe’re going to drive across LA and hit every wedding we possibly can.” Obviously the inference here is that what the viewer is about to see is indeed the band going and “crashing” multiple weddings without the prior knowledge of anyone involved. Regardless of whether you like or dislike the band for whatever reason (and the right to your opinion is certainly your own), it’s the story behind this uniquely-styled video that has captured a lot of attention. As a quick caveat before I dive full-on into this article: I’m not out to bash or “hate on” Maroon 5 or anything like that. ![]()
