CHINA - A Chinese bride had her wedding day rudely disrupted when her groom's male lover turned up uninvited.

A video posted on Youtube showed the bride and the lover wrangling over the groom and almost trading blows at one point. The story was also featured on Chinese website, Chinasmack.com.

In the video, the bride kept asking the man who had turned up to disrupt her wedding who he was, while her groom tried desperately to calm her - and his male friend - down.

In response, the man, dressed in blue, told her that he and her groom had been together even before she was in the picture. All this time, the groom kept trying to keep the two warring parties away from each other, as he tried to tell his increasingly angry bride that he would explain.

At one point, the man grabbed the groom's hand and ran away with him, as they left the bride to chase after them.

Meanwhile, Chinese netizens are divided over the video. Some feel that the bride was the third party in the relationship, since she met her groom later, while others felt sorry for the woman who was lied to. Yet some did not believe in the authenticity of the video, claiming that some Weibo blogs have said that the video was a fake.
