A TikTok user has drawn criticism after listing 13 controversial rules for her wedding in a video online.
The reaction has come as a surprise to Kennedy Marks after it drew more than one million views on the popular video streaming platform.
Kennedy only expected it to be seen by her family and friends, but instead she has been drawn into a TikTok whirlwind, becoming an overnight celebrity on the app with her controversial list.

Kennedy uploaded the video expecting it get a small few views, but was extremely surprised when she woke up to find six articles written about her and 3,000 new followers on her account.
Among the rules are "no children", "no boring people" and "no phones".
Kennedy said: "Oh my gosh, it's been crazy, it's been crazy. I woke up the other day and I had six articles written about me and apparently I'd caused controversy with my wedding rules.
"I had about 300 followers on TikTok before the video and literally all of them were just my close friends. But after the video I woke up to 3,000 followers."
She has been thinking about her wedding since she was around eight years old, and posted the video to let family and friends know about the rules on the day.
"I've been obsessed with weddings since forever and then my best friend is getting married in October so it's made my brides brain go crazy," said Kennedy.
"Me and my boyfriend have been together two years and the minute I met him I said 'just to let you know I do want to get married'."
But despite that very clear introduction Kennedy has said that she would like to go travelling with boyfriend Rhys before getting married.
Here is Kennedy's list of rules for her wedding day, and to be fair to Kennedy they they seem to be pretty reasonable.
- No-one else wearing white
- No children (unless approved)
- Don't assume an invitation for a plus one
- No big announcements
- No-one to use the microphone unless approved
- Don't stress me out, ask my mum
- No boring people
- If me or Rhys have never met you, you aren't coming
- No rudeness to staff or you're out
- No phones in the ceremony
- Anyone on the dancefloor on my first dance will be dragged off
- Guests wear whatever you're comfortable in
- Full use of my photographer after my photos
Although the reaction was largely positive at first, Kennedy noticed that the comments started to become more unpleasant as the video gained traction online.
She said: "On my actual TikTok everyone was so lovely and supportive but the minute it went viral I think the comments slowly got more negative.
"The no children rule really got people talking and a lot of people didn't listen to what I said - it was the children I'm really close to. Also the no white rule was another that people disagreed with - I thought everyone would agree with that one but apparently not."
The 'no boring people' also drew some criticism, and Kennedy says she wold have worded it differently if she'd known the video was going to go viral.
Nonetheless, most of them such as no one else wearing white, not interrupting the first dance, and being courteous to hospitality staff are quite reasonable.
The 'no big announcements' rule surprisingly cause controversy, though my impression was that this is just common courtesy anyway.
