In an unforgettable twist, a California couple’s wedding transformed into a once-in-a-lifetime event when none other than country music sensation Shaboozey made an unexpected appearance, drifting serenely along the Owens River.
K. Rose Events, a well-known wedding planning service in Southern California, captured this astonishing moment on video and shared it via Instagram. The footage features the delighted couple posing for some photos beside the picturesque river.
As the couple exchanged vows, 31-year-old artist Shaboozey, whose real name is Collins Obinna Chibueze, casually floated by on an innertube. He was part of The Wooly Run, a relaxing camping and tubing trip that coincided serendipitously with the wedding.
With a joyful spirit, the singer, sporting a trucker’s hat and enjoying a canned drink, smiled and waved at the camera, marking a memorable highlight for the ceremony.
As the rest of Shaboozey’s group floated past, they cheered and celebrated as the couple sealed their vows with a kiss. The wedding planner emphasized, “Not a styled shoot. Not a setup. This actually happened,” bringing a touch of spontaneity and joy to the day.
“Mid-ceremony in Mammoth Lakes, CA — vows under the Sierra peaks, granite + sage as far as you can see — and Shaboozey makes a cameo coming down the river,” the wedding planner’s post read.
“The bride’s face says it all. The groom couldn’t stop laughing. Even I lost it for a second,” the post added.
“This is why you get married in the Eastern Sierra. This is why you hire a Southern California wedding planner who knows Mammoth venues and permits like the back of their hand. Because when magic happens, you want a team that can roll with it and keep your timeline perfect,” the post continued.
“Mammoth weddings = unpredictable, unforgettable, unreal. Save this if you want a wedding story no one will believe,” the caption concluded.
Shaboozey even commented on the post, stating, “CONGRATULATIONS! From Shabozzey and @thewoollyrun !!”
The video went viral, with over 12 million views and over 585K likes in just over a day since it was posted.

The 2026 Wooly Run took place from August 5-9, described on the official website as a trip, “designed for like-minded folks who love motorsports, the outdoors, and slowing things down enough to actually enjoy it.”
The trip begins with, “a night camping in the Alabama Hills, surrounded by raw desert landscapes and massive granite backdrops.”
Then the trip moves on for, “three nights along the Owens River in Mammoth at a designated campsite that becomes home base for the weekend.”
Shaboozey posted pics from the trip on his own Instagram on Tuesday, though he didn’t mention the wedding incident in his post.
The singer just released his fourth studio album, “The Outlaw Cherie Lee & Other Western Tales” on July 31, which features guest appearances from Jamie Foxx, Gunna, Teyana Taylor, Kehlani, Sam Elliot and Orville Peck.
He has described it as a “concept album” that he co-created with Xaivia Inniss, which tells the story of a fictional outlaw named Cherie Lee and her quest for revenge.
