In a bid to gain some social media fame, Jacob Wright, a software engineer from Utah, decided to pull off a stunt at his wedding with his brand-new Apple VisionPro. Little did he know that his photo would go viral, attracting attention from thousands of internet users.

After exchanging their vows at the Jordan River Temple in South Jordan, Jacob and his new bride, Cambree, took a moment to capture a photo wearing the Apple VisionPro headset. Jacob's intention was to create a buzz on platforms like Twitter, and his plan worked like a charm. The original post, captioned #JustMarried, garnered a whopping 360,000 views, and a follow-up post with a "Caption contest" received over 100,000 views. The picture also made its way onto Reddit and Instagram, grabbing further attention.

While wearing an Apple VisionPro in unusual places has become a popular trend to grab the internet's attention, much of the focus on this particular post has been on Cambree's facial expression. Many internet users humorously interpreted her look as one of anger, disappointment, or disgust, earning her the nickname of a "displeased bride." However, Cambree clarified that she was merely feeling cold and not actually upset.

Jacob, who initially returned the Apple VisionPro headset after the viral moment, expressed that it was fun for a brief period but eventually felt like a chore. As a software engineer, he appreciates the concept of virtual and augmented reality but believes the technology has yet to reach its full potential. The price tag of $3,500 also played a role in his decision to return the headset.

The couple, who met at the gym while studying at Brigham Young University, is unfazed by the unexpected attention. Cambree, a personal trainer and neuroscience student, admitted that she wasn't seeking marriage at a young age but fell for Jacob's devotion to fitness and his muscles. They dated for over a year before tying the knot, which is quite a long courtship by Latter-Day Saints standards.

Despite the viral moment, the Wrights emphasize that their marriage is the most significant aspect of their lives. They look forward to a future full of possibilities, including potentially relocating to San Francisco or Texas. Jacob plans to continue his career in software start-ups, while Cambree is considering a graduate degree in neuropsychology or continuing her work as a personal trainer.

The viral moment may have been fleeting, but Jacob admits he would repeat it and even escalate the stunt for more content in the future. However, they both agree that this momentary attention is just a small speck in their ongoing journey as a married couple.

While the internet buzz surrounding their Apple VisionPro wedding photo might fade, the newfound attention has not dampened the Wrights' excitement about their life together, as they continue to cherish their love and laughter, both online and offline.
