Music video
The music video features the band members celebrating a wedding shot on a low budget camera. In the video, lead singer Alex and guitarist Tiffany play newlyweds celebrating their marriage at a ceremony and after celebrations, Nick (bassist) plays the best man and Dave (drummer) a groomsman. Following the wedding the group head to the reception, during which Dave gets up and dances on a chair and the video shows the group dancing and celebrating. At a pivotal moment of the clip the camera zooms in on Nick and Tiffany in the background dancing alone. This is followed by a slowmo of Nick staring at Tiffany and finally Nick giving Tiffany a kiss on the cheek during the wedding. From this point on Tiffany's face is scratched out as more scenes are shown from the day. The video concludes with a picture of Nick and Alex seemingly burning away followed by a shot of Tifanny blowing a kiss from the start of the clip, but with her face slowly scratched out of view.
