Tiger King viewers might be familiar with Joe Exotic’s 2014 three-way wedding – but a YouTube video gives a more thorough look at this particular moment in the three men’s lives.

Joseph Maldonado-Passage​ is seen in the Netflix documentary marrying John Finlay and Travis Maldonado, in a sequence that lasts a bit more than a minute. The show then takes a closer look at the relationships and their aftermath.

A clip uploaded to the JoeExotic TV YouTube channel shows the ceremony in full, with additional footage of the lead-up to the event.

The video has been available online since 2014 but has received renewed attention following the release of Tiger King in March.

Maldonado-Passage is seen shopping for outfits before the ceremony.

Guests, members of the wedding party, and the officiant then gather for the event.

“Even by modern standards ...this is an unusual wedding,” the officiant says at one point. All three grooms then exchange rings before each grabbing a candle to light a larger one together.

The clip lasts for 23 minutes and includes footage of the reception.

John Finlay eventually left the relationship.

As documented in Tiger King, Travis Maldonado died in 2017 after accidentally shooting himself in the head.
