Adam Gaudette and Micaela Robinson married on June 20, 2020. In November 2020, a video from their wedding showing Gaudette delivering a roundhouse kick to his wife went viral on TikTok.
The video shows Gaudette, a forward with the Vancouver Canucks in the NHL, preparing to give his new bride a lapdance. Gaudette has removed his shirt at this point. While trying to spin his leg over his seated bride’s head, Gaudette inadvertently kicked Robinson in the head. The music chosen by Gaudette for the dance was Ginuwine’s 1996 hit “Pony.” Ginuwine has yet to acknowledge his role in the viral video.

Robinson did not post the video on TikTok until November 18. The clip took part in a TikTok challenge involving the song “Oh No” by Capone that sees users post videos of embarrassing moments. She titled it, “How my husband ruined our wedding part 1.” Robinson wrote in the description of the video that she cried for a “little bit” and that her head was “throbbing” after she was kicked and Gaudette felt “insanely bad” but it was “fine” because the couple “ended up partying until 8 am with our best friends.” During the video, Robinson said that she thought that she might have a concussion.

Shortly after the couple’s wedding, Robinson wrote on Instagram, “although it was not the wedding we had originally planned, this was easily the best night of my life. I happily married the love of my life and was surrounded by the people who mean the most to me. Thank you to everyone who helped put this night together in 10 days and for coming on such short notice! We did it!!!” Gaudette told Sportsnet in a May 2020 interview that the couple’s original plan was to have a wedding with more than 200 guests in July 2020 but they amended their plans due to the COVID quarantine. Gaudette tweeted around 3:00 a.m. on June 21, “Tonight I married the love of my life. We planned it in less than 10 days. Wouldn’t have had it any other way. Our family is the best!!! I love you.”

A few days ago I messed that up with my own stupidity and selfishness. I vow to be a better person for you and for all my loved ones. I will continue to grow to make myself a better person and to make you the happiest you’ve ever been. You make me a better person, you complete me. I love you Micaela. We will be the strongest.”
