Music video

The music video,[7] directed by Terri Timely, depicts a wedding reception that's initially glum but gets iteratively more lively and majestic as the participants become healthier, happier and more numerous as the scene appears to move backwards through different eras. In the end, the original bridesmaid and mother enter the wedding and attack their replacements.[8][9]
