Video Shows Angry Bride Slapping Wedding Guest After Forcing Her To Bow To Her In-Laws

Your wedding day is supposed to be one of the happiest days of your life. Yes, there's a lot of stress that goes into planning the ceremony, but when it comes down to the actual day, you'd hope it would be unforgettable for all the right reasons.

Unfortunately, one bride from China won't be forgetting her wedding day for all the wrong reasons.

Watch the moment the angry bride slaps one of her wedding guests for good reason: 

A drunk man, one of the groom's guests, tries to force the bride to bow to her in-laws in a bid to show her obedience.

The video, filmed in China, shows the man very aggressively directing the bride's head towards the feet of her in-laws during the ceremony.

The bride is dressed all in red, as is tradition in China, was paying her respects to her mother and father-in-law.

The married couple were supposed to kneel in front of the groom's mother and father and bow to show their respect. However, the groom's drunk friend then begins to force her head towards the ground.

The video footage which has made waves on social media in China shows the man forcing the woman to her knees and holding her by the neck.

He then shoves her head downwards, compelling her to "kowtow" to her mother and father-in-law. The custom requires her to knock her forehead on the ground, but the defiant bride did not appreciate being forced to enact the gesture.

Kowtowing was historically practiced in imperial China until the final Qing Dynasty and was often enacted as a way for slaves to show their respects to their slave-owners.

The very bold woman stands up for herself by getting back up after the unexpected attack and slapping the man who then goes back into the crowd of wedding guests. Her relatives can be seen trying to allay the situation moments for the clip ends.

Of course, violence should never be seen as the answer to anything, however, what the man did was not only humiliating but also a violation of the bride's personal space. It's fair to say that a lot of people would have reacted the way she did.

But she's not the only bride to have a rather awkward moment with their beloved's parents on their wedding day. In fact, for one bride in China it was arguably even worse - because rather than demanding respect, her new father-in law demanded something a little more... personal.

You see, while at most big days it is only the groom that gets to kiss the bride (undestandably), in this case it was his father that landed a smacker on his new daughter-in-law's lips during her wedding reception.

 

As the father locks lips with his daughter-in-law the guests can be heard squealing in shock at his brazen behavior. In addition, the bride can be seen struggling to squeeze herself free - evidently, this father-in-law has never heard of Harvey Weinstein, or the effect he's had on the world.

The awkward moment a drunk father tries to kiss his son's wife: 

So how do you retaliate when your father has just grabbed your bride in a headlock and kissed her passionately - and drunkenly - on stage in front of hundreds of horrified guests at your wedding? Well, as the clip roared around social media, many 'insiders' were quick to claim that shortly after the incident "the son had beaten up the father." One sinister comment even alleged that "the father committed suicide."

Whilst there is no evidence of either of these rumors being true, there can be no denying that the clip is seriously scandalous, and pretty damn weird.

According to other reports, the father has now apologized publicly for his actions after the cringey clip went viral online. It was claimed by the Chinese media that he has expressed regret for his behavior, that will no doubt send a shiver down the spine of any expectant bride.

But as embarrassing and unfortunate as this wedding incident may be, it would probably still be considered a walk in the park by the Brazilian bride who made a spectacular entrance to her own wedding when the helicopter that she was arriving in crashed and burst into flames right outside the venue.

While most brides would dream of taking their loved one's breath away the first time that they see them, this probably wasn't what she had in mind:

The happy couple were about to get hitched at a vineyard in Venhedo, north west of Sao Paolo, with all of the guests assembled and ready to welcome the bride, and watch her make her special arrival. Unfortunately, as she descended, the helicopter spun out of control and made the very ungraceful lading. Still, at least you can't say she didn't make an impact.

Watch the helicopter make an unorthodox entrance:

Incredibly, she escaped unharmed and the couple got married there and then, with the burned out wreckage of the helicopter just meters away. Just look how happy she looks - it's probably fair to chalk it up to 50 per cent love, 50 per cent pure relief to be alive! In fact, he looks more traumatized than he does.

Let's just hope that this crash and burn situation wasn't a dark omen for the rest of their married life.

That said, are some couples whose prospects for a happy married life together do crash and burn before they even have the chance to say 'I do'.

When one groom in Singapore found out that his wife-to-be had been unfaithful to him and - proving that it's not only the brides that get angry - he decided to get the ultimate revenge, by turning their wedding day into a platform on which to break up with her in the most brutal way.

According to local media, he created a tape which began with a loving montage of some of their greatest moments together - so far, so good, right? However, it then took a darker turn when it cut to footage of the woman entering a hotel room with a man that definitely wasn't him, before showing the pair engaging in "intimate" acts.

And once all of their guests were comfortably seated, he hit play.

Although it's not totally clear whether the ceremony had already taken place or not, it can't be good either way. I mean, we're talking about all of your family watching you bump uglies here.

In response to the video, the bride was said to have been "humiliated" and ran out of the room, while the groom told her "to go to hell".

Apparently, the groom had long suspect that his bride to be was having an affair and decided to hire a private investigator to prove or disprove his suspicions. Unfortunately for him, he proved to be right.

The PI actually spoke to the media after the wedding, stating that she had been tracking the woman for weeks on end and reported her findings to the groom, so was surprised to receive an invitation to the couple's wedding. She said that it was only when the video was shown that she understood that this had been the plan all along.

There we have it, proof that no matter how many mishaps there may have been on your big day, whether it's stumbling over your speech or knocking over the flowers with your dress, there is always someone out where who is having a worse day than you.
