Ed Sheeran vs. Maroon 5: Wedding Crashers Edition

When you think of wedding crashers, you probably think of Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson sneaking into receptions and picking up women, but now you can imagine singers making people's big days even better. Ed Sheeran crashed a wedding and sang "Thinking Out Loud," and it will probably turn you into a puddle of tears. This wasn't just Sheeran randomly popping into a wedding — Sydney radio station KIIS FM’s Kyle Sandilands and Jackie “O” Henderson threw couple Matt and Kya a $60K wedding because they were unable to afford their own after her mother's death. Their last surprise was bringing Sheeran in to serenade them while they had their first dance.

Although this was a perfect moment that is completely unique, I can't help but compare it to Maroon 5's "Sugar" video where they surprised many couples with crash wedding performances. There was some controversy that the whole thing was staged, but if we take that out of the equation, both performers had completely different ways of making peoples' days special. To see whose reigns supreme, I've compared a few aspects of each wedding crashing, from the bride and groom's reaction to the glitz and glamour to the type of dancing that happened. See who wins in the Maroon 5 vs. Ed Sheeran battle below.
