Pyrgos: Church turned into a boxing ring during wedding – Bride steps on groom’s foot, and a fight ensues

The groom turned towards the bride and struck her in the face when she stepped on his foot

Newsroom August 26 04:20

Dramatic scenes unfolded during a wedding in a church in Pyrgos, which turned into a… boxing ring.

According to patrisnews.com, during the ceremony, at the moment when the phrase “and the wife must fear her husband” was heard, the bride stepped on the groom’s foot, and he reacted far from calmly.

Guests at the wedding reported that the groom turned towards the bride and struck her in the face. The bride’s relatives then attacked the groom, and the ceremony was interrupted.

According to the same sources, people were running in panic to exit the church, while police forces rushed to the scene.

The bride fainted, and someone from her close circle was taken to the hospital due to the shock they suffered.

After everything that happened, the wedding continued, but with the doors closed.
