An apparently tipsy guest of an unnamed bride and groom got hold of celebration sparklers at their barnyard nuptials — and nearly caused a massive blaze in a now-viral video.
In the wildly chaotic clip, which has sparked more than 9.1 million views on Twitter, a man named Craig or Greg is seen haphazardly dancing around with sparklers in both hands while onlookers praise him for his moves.
However, while grinding on a female partygoer in a denim jacket, the carouser accidentally set a pampas grass centerpiece aflame.

There is something about denim, isn't there?

no big deal...he quickly put it out
I was once at either a wedding reception or some kind of pot luck probably church related.
And I wasn’t drunk, I don’t dring. They put the plates and the utensils and the napkins at the start of the line. So I’ve got my plate and utensils and napkins in one hand and am getting food with the other.
And they had candles down the middle of the table. So of course while I’m focusing on getting food and adding it to my plate, I move my left hand over the candles and the napkins that are hanging down catch fire.
I was able to drop the napkins on the floor and stop it out, leaving a black mark on the carpet that I hope they were able to get out.
Candles in a buffet line of food where people are reaching over is a bad idea.
Too long in the tooth, to gray in the beard, and too bald on the noggin to burn the barn down.
Was his real name Walter Matuschanskayasky?
Like there’s not enough flammable material in a BARN !!! (At least it’s a metal barn.)
“This is fine!”
Marty McFly's sister's boyfriends post-travel!
“Hold my champagne and watch this...”
LOL. This is viral? Well, who hasn’t seen this kind of thing, or even done something close to it himself?????
I kind of liked the way he drunkenly gazed at the flames, then used his forearm to swipe it on to the ground where he could stomp it out at his leisure.
Pretty good intoxicated thinking.
Of course, the downside to “intoxicated thinking” is that it is fairly pipelined, so if you calmly choose a course of action that doesn’t follow your intoxicated “script” in your intoxicated brain, things can get spectacularly out of hand.
In this case, it could have been him on fire, the barn on fire, the grinding girl on fire, or everyone on fire. One can imagine how viral THAT would have been!
Saw a table fire at a wedding once.
Fire truck dropped the bride and groom off and were back in a couple hours to put the fire out.
Now you have battery powered candles. Weddings aren’t as exciting anymore.
