Watch 'Tiger King' star Joe Exotic marry John Finlay and Travis Maldonado in a three-way wedding ceremony
Do you think you have had enough of Joe Exotic from his Netflix docuseries 'Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness'? Think again, because it looks like the zookeeper is a gift that keeps giving.
The seven-episode docu-series featured some moments of the unconventional 2014 ceremony, where Joe Exotic tied the knot with John Finlay and Travis Maldonado in a three-way ceremony. And now the whole 23-minute video is made available on his YouTube channel JoeExoticTV.
The Netflix documentary puts a large part of its focus on Joe's archnemesis Carole Baskin, an animal activist, who runs a big cat sanctuary, Big Cat Rescue. He is now in prison for a 22-year sentence for a murder-for-hire plot against her.
At the same time, we follow Joe's equally, if not more, eccentric life, including his polygamist relationship with John Finlay and Travis Maldonado. In the docuseries, Joe marries both his partners in a civil ceremony.
While the Netflix series only featured brief moments of the ceremony, the entire video is now made available on YouTube. "The wedding of the century for animal people and supporters of Joe Exotic, John and Travis," the caption for the video reads on JoeExoticTV's YouTube page.
Set to Joe's original country song, 'I Saw a Tiger', the 23-minute-long video documents the events leading up to the wedding particularly Joe overseeing the arrangements, the ceremony and the afterparty. "I don't even really care. I just want to be surprised," he says before walking out of the reception area.
Three men, wearing the same hot pink shirts with flowers pinned to their chests stand in front of a barn-themed altar. After they say "we do," they exchange matching wedding rings. Even the officiant admitted that this was "an unusual wedding" while the ceremony was going on.
The reception was also featured in the wedding video. There were a few animals at the wedding, including a tiger sprawled out on a table and a monkey wearing a tutu.
The trio had remained married for several years, but after a falling out, Finlay left Joe's zoo and their union. Maldonado died by a self-inflicted gunshot. The two had met Joe while working in his zoo. Joe married Dillon Passage two months later and remains married to him as he serves his 22-year prison sentence.
'Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness' is currently streaming on Netflix, enjoying the luxury of reigning the Top 10 list for 15 straight days since its release on March 20, 2020.
