Groom Asks His Bride to Turn Around and She Starts Crying When She Sees These Uninvited Guests

Whether or not you consider yourself a bridezilla (or groomzilla), if you want a wedding, chances are you already have a pretty good idea about how you want it to go. And with all the planning that goes into a wedding, it makes sense why even the smallest change in plans can cause a tearful meltdown.

When British bride, Liz Ravenhall was preparing for her big day, she had no idea just how much her carefully planned ceremony would go off the rails. As she put the finishing touches on her makeup and slipped on her heels, she couldn’t have known what was underway at the church…

When Liz — who worked as a dance teacher — and her fiance Ollie got engaged, they knew their wedding would have to be something special. And theirs certainly would be. Just not in the way she expected.

At first, the ceremony went perfectly: Soft orchestral music started to play, the groom and bridesmaids walked down the aisle. When Liz arrived in her gorgeous wedding dress, she gave the audience an enthusiastic thumbs-up.

Finally, the couple met at the altar and turned towards the officiant, ready to become husband and wife. At this point of the ceremony, all eyes should’ve been on the bride and groom, but everyone was looking somewhere else — and it wasn’t at the ring bearers.

To the right side of the aisle, a photographer suddenly appeared. We’ve all heard horror stories of wedding photographers getting in the way and ruining the ceremony, so the guests initially looked confused —and a little concerned.

However, when another photographer popped up on the left side of the aisle, it became clear that something was going on. There was no need for two cameras, especially when they weren’t even pointed towards the altar!

In fact, the cameras were pointed towards the back of the church. Whispers from suspicious family members took over the ceremony, but they quickly died down with a shhhh. The bride, after all, had no idea this was going on!

Yep, as far as she knew, the ceremony was going on as peacefully as it had begun. All the while, the bride faced the altar, totally unaware of the quiet commotion happening in the crowd. But her husband-to-be?

Ollie had noticed the disturbance, but did not let on to Liz. By now, everyone was looking up at the balcony — not at the bride and groom at all. No one knew what was about to happen…except for Ollie.

See, in an effort to make their special day even more memorable, Ollie had concocted a plan to shock Liz with the surprise of a lifetime. He knew he had to show her just how much she meant to him.

And the moment of truth was upon him. Gently touching Liz’s arm, Ollie turned her around. Confused, all she had to go by was the excited look on Ollie’s face. She followed his gaze up to the balcony — and burst into tears.
