It is supposed to be the happiest moment of her life. The bride walks radiantly down the aisle as her guests look proudly on and photographers bustle around to capture her special moment.
But as she walks towards the garlanded arch to the tune of ‘Bittersweet Symphony’ her day suddenly turns more bitter than sweet.
A small tumble and the bride is left crouching on the carpet, and when she goes to stand up again her heel catches in her trailing white skirt, hilariously giving her guests an impromptu view of her derriere – and lingerie that by the looks of things is intended to be seen on her wedding night – and not several hours earlier by all her guests.
Struck with embarrassment the blushing bride climbs out of the skirt in a hurry, grabs it and runs away as fast as she can.
The gentleman escorting her down the aisle follows behind, apparently not sure what his role is in this situation.
Unfortunately for the bride, the cameras keep rolling and her photographers go in for a close up.
Her guests stay motionless – presumably dumbstruck – except for one blonde-haired friend who rushes over to help usher the bride out of the room.
No doubt the poor bride will be the butt of jokes for years to come.
It is unclear why the bride chooses to pull the whole thing off rather than hitching it up as best she can before she flees the awkward scene, casting some doubt on the authenticity of the Russian video.
