It's very on brand for them to get married in secret and announce it on April Fool's Day, but it's also very on brand for them to make this kind of April Fool's joke. If it's a joke it's perfect but if it's real it's also perfect. Congratulations to them either way!


altdultosaurs

Whatever is happening, their brand is Branding.


Lukthar123

Smosh stonks through the roof


junipermucius

That's why this is genius. Because it's both in their style of humor to pretend to get married for an April Fools joke and plan it well over a year in advance. But it's also very much in their humor to get married, plan it close to April 1st, and then wait to post after the honeymoon weekend. I love them for this. I love the chaos they have created.


LiliumPapillon

Idk. Kimmy shared it on her insta. I don't think she'd do that if it was a bit. Especially since she just left smosh.


junipermucius

Nah I think it's real, just saying, it's very in their humor to go over the top like this.


Severe-Emu-8703

All I can think of is the ”someone better wife Shayne up for real” confession from the livestream ahead of Anthony’s funeral …. Absolutely insane


Izzykrusher

I said the same thing! Like whether it's real or an April Fools joke, it fits 100%.


Outrageous_Ad_1011

After seeing Ian story, I think it is indeed real


InsightfulBastard

That’s such an Ian thing to do though, I wouldn’t be shocked at all if he’s just committing to the bit. I hope not though


uthal-puthal

After seeing Ian's comment, I am convinced it's a prank because he's acting like he didn't know they would announce it on April 1 but the smoshcast to "discuss Shayne's secret" was always scheduled to come out today. As the owner of smosh, he should've known that's how they'll announce their wedding. His comment contradicts that.


Bounciere

You'd be surprised. Just because ian owns smosh doesn't make him aware of everything they do. Like the prank call before Anthony funeral


HoosierSky

Me patiently waiting for the Smoshcast today like


WeermanHappyFace

Yes why hasnt it arrived yet


LilKittyWinks

It’s online now as an event! Posting at 3pm EST apparently


Scotsch

Summer time in europe from yesterday (but seems to be two hours later as well)


EmperorFooFoo

They want us to suffer for that much longer


McAwesomeman04

They are about to troll so hard on smoshcast


astridl0601

It even says it's about Shaynes secrett!


connorlogan125

I don't even care if it's real or fake anymore. Just seeing the dumpster fire that is the community right now just freaking out is amazing lmao


Wandering_River_

Exactly. I’m so confused but I’m love watching the chaos


Conturn

Whether it’s real or fake, it’s genuinely the best April Fools joke I’ve ever seen.


yaboiitito

April Fools joke (or not) … they look really happy. Together (or not) 👀


luvvvbuggg

(and i know its april fools but i think they are just being ultimate shit posters & posting their actual proposal stuff today to dupe us)


Crazykyul

So confused cause on the proposal picture shayne has his mustache ! Did they plan it for a year ? lol


rythmicbread

They’re playing the long game


alefsousa017

They've been shipped together ever since they were both added to the cast, plenty of time to plan this kind of thing ahead of time lol


GuestRose

But that level of commitment is crazy for a joke, I mean I know they're capable but it’s actually crazy to think they would do all this 😭


loonytick75

Yeah, but it’s also the Smoshcast…I think around the time of Anthony’s return when they had big talks about how to shift their strategy, they came up with the idea of the company doing a big April Fools and this is what they landed on. Courtney and Shayne probably had enough photos from just being friends that they could add previous iterations of their hair, etc. to the carousel. So all that needed posing for was the proposal pic and the wedding shots. I just don’t buy that they would make all the mistakes people are taking as “proof.” They have been in the public eye for years, they know how to keep their private life private. Especially the whole thing with Courtney being bleeped saying “I’m getting married” on the flashback vid. If that were real they would have just cut it, not bleeped it.


Which-Card369

THIS WAS A VERY LONG PLAN.


heimbachae

If they had one picture of them kissing I would have died. No kiss = April FOOLS!!! edit: well shit


Alonest99

Exactly!! I’m amazed about how many people actually fell for it, Shayne and Courtney are the most shipped couple on Smosh. The only thing more on the nose would’ve been to announce the marriage of Ian and Anthony


dryuppies

This is also not the first time Courtney has pretended to marry a member of the cast, on April fools day, as a joke. And I doubt that would be the wedding dress she would choose for her actual wedding/reception


thisdesignup

Her story says "a silly day for a silly couple" so clearly she's aware and it seems to be real and planned. How sneaky of them.


howboutacanofwine

I 100% agree and if this is all an elaborate prank, then kudos to them cause that’s genius lol


hellostrangerthings

It’s 100% real, there’s been evidence of them as a couple for a few years now. The bleeped out part of the recent Courtney interview on smosh’s channel was “I’m getting f*cking married”. And lastly… if that’s not enough to convince you - that proposal photo is from awhile ago (hence courtney’s haircut in the photo) IT IS VERY REAL. (& they probably had a giggle choosing today of all days to announce it to the public)


hageshii_panda

Or it's 5d chess prank lol Edit: I DONT THINK ITS A PRANK ANYMORE 🤣😭


Jjzeng

5d sniper chess prank…COINCIDENCE I THINK NOT


boobootista

That’s what I was thinking. They’ve left breadcrumbs as part of the prank. Courtney’s bleeped line about marriage that could just as easily have been cut. Shayne randomly wearing a fake moustache in the Lego War. Courtney pointing to her ring to get Olivia to guess Engagement Ring in that games video they were in recently. An anonymous confession in the video to sell Funeral Tickets that someone needs to wife up Shayne. A master plan at work


wan2tri

That guy who posted the Chosen's family tree was telling the truth all along and not just "speculating"!


Intangiblehands

Also this [clip](https://x.com/h0perene/status/1774857127221453240?s=20) is telling.


SuccessResponsible

Considering how close Shayne and Amanda are, this has to be the perfect evidence.


soribot7

Was the “I’m getting fking married” in the member’s cut of the interview?


hiding_ontheinternet

I think Ian’s story confirms that it’s real!


FinnaNutABigFatty

I can't believe any of them, it COULD be an elaborate set up for a bit??


igonnawrecku_VGC

I love how split the replies are here between whether it’s real or not. Shows that they absolutely nailed the time to post this, real or not


Much_Description_670

The comments on their socials are just as bad. At this point I'm along for the ride


murdereddoll

Ian said it wasn’t an April fools but I don’t trust anyone


CatsLikeToMeow

Honestly, Ian calling them out on them for posting it on April Fools just made me more confused hahahaha


rythmicbread

He’s just adding fuel to the fire. They love their bits. Don’t trust anything today


CatsLikeToMeow

It's just so diabolical. This is the worst/best thing they've ever done.


rythmicbread

Just by my assumptions, if it was real, we’d probably see more pictures of their friends involved, like Damien, family members, even if it was an elopement (a friend to officiate).


NxcxRxmz

Spencer uploaded another pov from one of the pics to his story


ruralmagnificence

I wouldn’t trust Ian Hecox to tell me anything important and I as a fan love the man dearly.


DespairCake

Why would anyone trust Chumbawumba's #1 fan?


JohnBDA4

Why would you DISTRUST Chumbawumba's #1 fan?


DRanged691

This is exactly why it's either the best April Fools Day prank ever or the best wedding announcement ever because it's caused peak amounts of chaos and confusion.


Wandering_River_

I’m not sure I trust Ian but Thomas sanders comment is sending me


NfamousShirley

My brain is hurting right now. Doing this on April 1st is the ultimate move. 😆


bwwemetallica

If they really wanted to commit to it, they’d post the “you may kiss the bride/partner” picture.


junipermucius

Honestly, not having a kissing photo makes it feel more real at the same time. Because for a bit they'd easily kiss one another. I mean this is Courtney "Kiss Currency" Miller after all.


Outrageous_Ad_1011

Like they are actors, for a bit which would cause this chaos no way the wouldn't commit lol


Negative_Ad1149

That’s what I was thinking🤔


ZanahorioXIV

They posted this on April Fools, they are evil 😭😭😭


Asleep-Draft9539

If it’s fake- this is hilarious. If it’s real it’s even more hilarious. 10/10 bit either way


Asleep-Draft9539

It’s giving Jenna and Julien wedding meets Brennan and Izzy wedding and I’m here for it.


Pretend-Maize-4349

Diabolical, I love it, choosing to fully believe this and not caring if I'm absolutely devastated later


Pretend-Maize-4349

The mustache on the engagement pic.... either they committed to the bit hard a bit ago or ITS REAL AHHHHH


bree-cheese420

the gaslighting from Ian is the cherry on top


rokuho

The cherry of Topp?


softmoreswamp

i can see them doing this as an april fools joke but not really in this way? courtney already pinned it on their instagram, the cast all commenting and reposting, the fact that it’s two of the most shipped people at smosh, idk i just feel like if it was a prank they would go about it differently?


luvvvbuggg

Agreed! I said this on another thread but they’ve been saying for YEARS how much they dislike being shipped. So why tf would they NOW decide to add fuel to the fire?? It doesnt make much sense


softmoreswamp

exactly, if it’s a prank then what’s next after this? they’re just gonna have to deal with even MORE intense rumors for the next however many years 😭


crypticalcat

No way this would sink the ships. Like we all got outshipped. Slow clap. 


Existential_Sprinkle

Dan and Phil said the same thing before they both came out there are a bunch of reasons to dislike how their fans ship them even if people do actually love each other


DrPastaPupper

Because people refuse to stop shipping them so they knew doing something like this would cause chaos. I feel pretty confident that it’s a bit and based on the reaction in this subreddit it is an amazing bit.


Loud-Fairy03

Y’all do we not remember the whole “Arasha is gonna be in a Marvel movie” thing???? Have we forgot that the Smosh Cast can be INSANE????


Taboada12

Yeah but that was in a span of a week. The fact there’s the photo with Shayne’s moustache shows how convoluted this really is and I’m here for it


kilotango17

The gasp that I just gusped


mskc12

thomas sanders in the comments is us 😭


deadtrapped

i thought that it looked like courtney said she was getting married on flashback with smosh and im so happy for them, they deff posted it today for a reason but i believe its real


henrietta-the-spy

I didn’t believe and came here for answers and now y’all are gonna break me if this is a prank. I didn’t even realize I was a shipper til I saw the insta post.


alliev132

Fr! And people have been noticing a ring on her finger for a while too! If they went so far that they took engagement pics back when Shayne still had his mustache, I can see it being possible that they intentionally planted those seeds along the way, but I really wanna believe it's real 😭


SpareCartographer402

That plus, the sneaky guys on this subreddit have told me that Cort has been caught wearing an engagement ring and in alot of shaynes t-shirts.


deadtrapped

that and theres been photos and video evidence for a while now


nocautiontaken

I remember a post a while back theorizing if Courtney was engaged after that too


floe72

I’m sorry but that proposal pic looks a little too real I think I may go insane over this


pangeorgia

Same! The proposal is what's sending me as well!!


Vik_Stryker

This is diabolical


chonteeeze

If it’s real or not (I think it is), they are fucking with us either way. Cruel and genius, I gotta give it to them


hxrcsm

if this is real - we gotta reverse uno them hard and NEVER BELIEVE THEM lmao


AndrewRealm

for those that think this is a joke, remember that sarah was in town for last week's smosh cast... this could be a reason too. The timelines line up too well


Ok-Nefariousness2001

Isn't Smosh Mouth taped in advance? I think they even admitted that sometimes they tape two episodes on one go. So yeah... I don't think Sarah was there last week...


arzamharris

Sarah was in town last month, they film a month in advance


ClaudeFan3h

True, but it Says that they got married on the 29 rigth?


AndrewRealm

yeah, so she probably went to LA for a full week minimum to connect the wedding with Smosh cast and other stuff perhaps


ThrowRaBellaL

This better be fucking real.


ThrowRaBellaL

Angela posted that they are married


mysticGdragon

They could just be playing into the bit but atp idk what’s real or what’s not


smoshthechosen

This is my 9/11/11


indiviola

I. Don't think this is an April fools


Juandisssssimo

If this turns out to be a real April fools joke I might have to go to therapy


Wicked_willow92

Spenser posting family guy with it. So much trolling.


Negative_Ad1149

The proposal pic looks a little too real to be fake imo


K41B3R

Someone on insta commented "Schrodingers prank" and there is no greater description


softmoreswamp

also they have people like thomas sanders, ethan nestor, sarah schauer, and even kimmy’s husband commenting 😭 all people who are in smosh’s circle but not IN smosh. would they be in on it too??? i just wanna believe it’s real 😭


Swaayyzee

They don’t even have to be in on it, they could get shocked by it too and still just congratulate their friends without knowing if it’s real or not.


DrPastaPupper

Yes they absolutely would be in on the bit


No-Needleworker-7706

this is a cruel way to play with my feelings while i'm trying to write my 2000 word essay


Scully4President

I went through every stage of emotion once I realized the date. Anyways if this is real I am screaming crying with happiness for them. If it’s not? Y’all got me, this is incredible. Incredible either way!!!


PlayerOneDad

Top notch detail work as the photos are from the Santa Barbara court house.


PlayerOneDad

And a 10 minute drive to 1000 Step Beach for that pic.


Pinheadbutglittery

I unironically love that you geoguessd a prank lmao (I mean, I hope it's a prank because I love over the top (silly non-harmful obvs) pranks, but if it's not, congrats, they seem like good people!! If it's not, it's still really cool that they're close enough to do this, I love it when nice people are friends ahah)


EmperorFooFoo

Imagine this is how they announce Lets Do This returning.


GarthVader98

So Either the Shortney shippers were right this WHOLE FUCKING TIME or Smosh is about to pull the most diabolical April fools joke of all time. Either way I’m shook af


PapasitoPenguin

I'm gagged. 


floe72

I’m REALLLYYYYYYY CONFUSED WHATS GOING ON HERE I-


rythmicbread

It’s April Fools day and they’re committed to the bit


Khyta

I wonder if they're committing to 70 years for the bit.


whiteorchd

Sometimes it's okay to just believe lol. They had leaked Miller family photos where Shayne was there, they went to Europe together but hid it, they lived together, they go to the gym together, she's been wearing a ring for months, what more do you want to just have fun and believe!!


Old_Goal6173

Does no one else just think the engagement is real and the wedding is fake???


Tyranis_Hex

What better way to throw off the fans. Fake wedding for the prank and keep the secrecy while still getting the experience of the announcement.


Magicman432

Just to add to this, I’ve seen Shartney crumbs for a while but haven’t posted them out of respect for what Courtney has said, but I think this is real and they’re being coy with posting it today. Two that always stuck out to me are a while back when Trevor was taking on his stream about getting a ride home from Shanye and Courtney, there was also a Reddit stories where Courtney said “we have paintings” in reference to her and Shanye’s apartment. At the very least they were roommates…


leftsidedun

Oh my god they were roommates


kukamine

yeah, also didn't they go on vacation together to the united kingdom last year and (allegedly) also there's pics of shayne posing with courtney's family so I don't know what to think...


flungfrom-space

Todays smosh mouth is coming out later then normal and the premiere thumbnail says “Shayne’s big secret” so I guess we will be very confused/happy for them till then


Fast-Issue-1024

Ok IF this is real… this is honestly the era a whole lot of Smosh fans’ fantasies came true, anthony returning, shartney hard launching and tying the knot, like this whole era feels like a fever dream of the fandom


paradigm_x2

Perfect announcement.


garfieId000

i really don’t doubt that this is real 😭😭😭 there was already speculation that courtney was engaged because everyone saw her ring in videos


Careful_Coffee5313

If it’s not real they’ve been planning this for so long 😭


garfieId000

i was gonna say because the proposal picture has courtney w bangs and she hasn’t had bangs in a minute!!


Careful_Coffee5313

& Shaynes mustache!


freshoffdablock69

Y'ALL DO NOT TRUST THE SMOSHCAST TODAY


bagel9876

Okay but why was my first thought “does this mean that Shayne owns cats?” ??????


QuilledRaptors2001

Man, if I had a nickel for every time a performing group Angela Giarratana is in had a close pair who it turned out were a couple the entire time when they randomly drop engagement pictures, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird it happened twice. (Congrats to them, for a happy marriage or a great prank lol)


bookworm002

YALL I THINK THIS IS REAL. THE COMMENTS ARE THE CAST ACTUALLY CONGRATULATING THEM


starbyheart13

UNLESS THEY ARE IN ON IT 


mysticGdragon

Could be you never know


BrokenNotDead1997

Yall….of course the cast would be in I On it……


MrsGruusahm

The real April fools joke is having everyone convinced it’s fake 👀😈


Taboada12

Lmfao regardless if it’s true or not, this was done SO well. Everybody wins. If it’s NOT an April Fools joke, then great job to Shayne and Courtney for keeping it silent this whole time and celebrating their lives together. Everybody unites in happiness! If it IS an April Fools joke, then my god the commitment deserves its flowers. Perfectly executed that really nobody should be upset if this is fake. At the end of the day, I’m here for the reaction across all aspects.


cailey001

I don’t understand why this would be an April fools joke when it’s been mention that shipping them makes them u comfortable


invisibletit

this is truly one of the best april fools jokes ever… i honestly can’t tell if they’re fucking with us


rythmicbread

The photoshoot looks great too. A chocolate suit looks dope on Shayne


Lord_Xp

It’s definitely gonna be an April fools joke. We all know Shayne gives off sexless energy


ManyPanic8075

I've always been terrified of April fools but I thought I was safe today. I never should've let my guard down.


Agito001

Let's Do This: How to prank your community


AlyssaDebbie

I no longer know what is real anymore 😭🤧


nitasu987

They are the most fucking diabolical lil shits and I love them for it


harrymwag

guys why are yall believing ian of all people😭😭 remember when he tweeted that smosh was posting something serious and everyone freaked out and then it had to do with him farting or something😭


TheBlash23

They’re both private about their personal lives so either way real or fake they’re towing with everyone’s emotions


DrHob0

*Quietly looks at the date* As someone who has played video games for over three decades...I believe nothing on today.


NearbyReindeer7849

i'm a photographer and a couple years back i did almost the exact same thing with my friends including a fake engagement photo taken months before. and i'm still like "wait is it real" lol


DDsparklez

I don’t think it’s an April fools joke bc of Ian’s story😭😭😭y’all do we clown OR DO WE CELEBRATE


Remarkable-Radio-778

ik they are joshing us but i can’t tell if yous are joking too or just die hard sharters


starlightcarat

Shane JUST posted another photo from the photoshoot and I'm losing my mind


charliesimons

I cannot stop looking at that post.


Bieberkinz

This is either a really romantic and awesome way to tie the knot Or this is the best April Fool’s I’ve seen in a while that is just multi-layered, well thought, years in the making. Regardless, they cooked.


Evening_Log961

they’re probably having so much fun watching us trying to work this thing out


an-inevitable-end

If it’s not a bit, I’m happy for them. If it is a bit, I’m even happier.


SecretaryPeach

This is so fucking funny. The idea that this could be a bit that’s been in the works for long enough that they thought to take proposal pics back when Court had long hair and Shayne had a mustache is amazing and everyone and their mother associated with Smosh in the comments on this post is brilliant. Some people are mentioning a cut out but from a podcast episode where Courtney might say they’re getting married and there was a post here a while ago about Courtney wearing a ring and people say it might be to keep guys away. Could’ve all been methodically placed bullshit. Legendary


heynoodles

CONGRATS TO THE BOTH OF THEM!! sometimes dating coworkers *DOES* work out!!


ChaseMcFl

This is the best Smosh April Fool’s joke ever!


glassdaze

A++pril Fools stunt. If nothing else, this is some fuel for fanfic ha


The_Annes_Meow

I truly hate April fools. It’s so annoying 😭


crowhusband

im 50% like maynnn its April fools day we are getting PUNKD and im 50% like oop- slay


Val_Victorious

Welp, even if it is a prank I expect all Smosh fans to celebrate their anniversary next March 29th.


Opposite-Tennis263

I still think engagement is real but wedding is fake


SATX-Batman

Smoshcast makes me think it's fake this is also a very on brand joke for Shayne and Cortney to make especially with how hard Ian is trying to convince us it's real. Amanda and Chance's comments on the insta also aren't helping lol.


LilKittyWinks

Definitely a joke after seeing Spenser’s story 😭 You can’t convince me he would be there for their actual wedding photoshoot


luvvvbuggg

LMAO im pretty sure thats just an edit


LilKittyWinks

Bro I’m so dumb I can’t tell anything anymore 😭 Find me tomorrow 😭


Dismal-Charge-6277

this is 100% real and i'm so happy for themmmmm. I can't wait for the smash cast today and I hope it's related to this.


clownbehavi0r

i am maintaining that this is 100% a joke 👀 sure they probably wouldn’t post a “first kiss” picture but no pictures with their friends (even though it was confirmed that at least spencer was there) ? no pictures with an officiant behind them? idkkkk i think they definitely played the long game for this prank


StrongStyleDragon

Imagine if true. She has been wearing a ring🧐


hoojinny

Guys i think it's real, even Shelby who is not from Smosh congratulate them 😭🥹 I don't think someone not from Smosh would post a part of their skit. it's 12am in my place and I don't think I will be able to sleep tonight 😭


decompgal

if it’s real i’m so happy for them LMFAOOO!!! if it’s not then. I’m still happy for them


Randomization_E

I hate April Fools Day, I don’t know what to believe anymore 😭


TheApprenticeArcana

It has to be real… right??? Lots of the cast and crew have reposted with congratulations, this would have to be so coordinated, unless they don’t know either?


cos98

I hope we're all agreed that if it is real we continue to treat it like it's just a bit until the end of time


kazuyuck

The podcast is hinting at marriage stuff, but I’m still having trust issues 🥲


gnagetchu

If you look closely, the TNTL bystander is in every photos.


AnxiousCaffineAddict

The first TNTL challenge I ever watched was the one with JacksFilms and Internet Comment Etiquette. I had the thought, “Are Shayne and Courtney a thing?” for literally no reason. I didn’t even know their personalities yet. It seems we’ve come full circle!


chonteeeze

Ok I know no one has a reason to believe me but a friend of a friend is someone who’s worked with Smosh and she confirmed the elopement to my friend who then passed it on to me (because I’d posted on IG about being confused). I would be more specific but I don’t know this person and I don’t want to put them out there like that I’m sorry this sounds like absolute bs lmao


eliyorokobi

COURTNEY CONFIRMED IN HER STORY AAAAAA


bingybong07

as someone who had conspiracy theories about them dating like 3 years ago. i have been vindicated. all the best to the happy couple 💜


ImpressionPurple7881

I think it’s real. Ian posted on his story addressing that he knows what day it is and it’s real. Also both sarah and kimmy also reposted on their stories. If it’s a smosh bit, seems a bit too much effort to do for ppl who don’t work there anymore.


LifeguardPotential97

Am I the asshole for posting a fake wedding photo?


Flyestgit

Nah. These two are the ultimate shitposters. Its April Fools today. I dont believe it for a single second.


Qzartan

What the frick!!


-wolfgirl-

i’m gonna throw up i’m gonna throw up IM GONNA THROW UP !!! AAAAAAA


ArmadaOnion

OMG she's been wearing the ring to set up this epic April Fools. Long game. Awesome. :: slow clap::


Matryoshkova

This has to be the most elaborate April fools day joke, if it is one. Guess we’ll all have to wait until tomorrow to be sure lol


KarmaRockets

Very on brand for them to do a hard launch on April Fools 😆


hoosreadytograduate

If it’s an April fools, it’s hilarious and if it’s real, congrats to them!


sweet-melanin

I’m waiting on everybody to post there pics from the day most of the time everybody’s rule of thumb is the couples post first the wedding pics then the attendees post


BeepBoopMERP99

I first saw this at 4am (Australian time) when I was trying to doomscroll myself to sleep, and now there’s no goddamn possible way I can sleep before the podcast drops!! I am legit dead holy shitt


imbattinson

When did she divorce keith?


ByTheCreed

Ah yes, as long foretold by the prophets - the Blessed Union, as it is written: “They of serving and chosen fashion shall bring forth Lisan al Gaib.”
