The Political Stunt
The wedding, held in the heart of Iowa’s capital, turned into a spectacle of political theater, as the DeSantis couple made it into a political stunt.
DeSantis Grabbed the Opportunity
DeSantis, who had been touring the state, seized the opportunity to inject his presence into the festivities, walking in behind the newlyweds to enthusiastic cheers and a standing ovation from around 150 guests.
A Similar Event
The move mirrored a similar recent event when former President Trump unexpectedly crashed a wedding at his New Jersey Bedminster golf club.

The Couple Applauded Too
The newlywed couple graciously made way for DeSantis and his wife, with Representative Collins himself applauding the Florida Governor’s entrance.
Several Political Figure Were Present
The event also provided a platform for other political figures, such as Iowa’s Lieutenant Governor Adam Gregg, to interact with DeSantis and highlight the wedding’s newfound political significance.
Mixed Comments
The social media frenzy that ensued highlighted both positive and negative reactions.
Stealing the Spotlight
While some praised the spontaneity and uniqueness of the event, others criticized the DeSantis couple for allegedly stealing the spotlight from the bride and groom.
Wedding Crashers
Social media users coined phrases like “upstaging” and “wedding crasher” to describe the governor’s role in the festivities.
Twitter Users Shared Their Views
One user tweeted, “DeSantis’ campaign is going so bad he’s forced to be a wedding crasher in order to draw a crowd.”
The Most Desantis Thing
Another user added, “Upstaging the bride and groom on their wedding day is the most Desantis thing I’ve ever seen.”
This Is Tacky
A third Twitter user wrote, “How tacky to show up and then wave as if everyone was there to adore him? Never make someone else’s Wedding Day about yourself.”
The Strategy
DeSantis’s visit to Iowa aligns with his broader strategy to solidify his political position, particularly within the Republican Party.
An Important Tour
The governor had been touring the state, engaging with local constituents and touting his accomplishments in Florida, including conservative stances on education, abortion, and gender policies.
