Viral video shows bride in shock as groom's ex crashes wedding wearing bridal dress

If you've attended your fair share of nuptials, you'll be aware that they are stressful at the best of times. More often than not, the so-called "joyous" occasion descends into chaos - and regardless of whether it proves impossible to please your family members, or make everything fit into a tight budget - one thing is for sure: it will never go to plan.

One woman experienced the extreme of this, however, when her groom's ex-girlfriend crashed her wedding... wearing a bridal gown.

A woman in China ruined her ex-boyfriend's wedding by gatecrashing in a bridal dress, and pleading with him to take her back.

In the video, the ex can be seen clinging onto the groom, and crying, while the actual bride looks on, understandably aghast.

The woman reportedly burst into the ceremony when the newlyweds were just about to share their first kiss. While the bride initially seemed quite composed, eventually she decided she'd had enough, and stormed off - leaving her groom to contend with the woman alone.

Fair enough.

Besides that, we don't have many other details. The clip was originally shared by a blogger, before making the rounds on social media in China, where it promptly went viral.

Per the Daily Mail, the unnamed groom broke up with the ex-girlfriend because their personalities were incompatible.
