They became Unscrupulous On the bride’s bouquet.
A couple had just exchanged their vows when a group of “I do” wedding guests started fighting over the bride’s bouquet.
One social media commentator, appalled by the wanton brutality, quipped: “These women would win medals in Olympic wrestling,” What’s The Jam reported.
A Bosnian bride threw a bouquet of flowers backwards towards a group of single female friends at her wedding reception on Monday, sending petals flying, ruining her dress and messing up her hair.
Although undignified, the fight over newlyweds’ flowers is nothing new.
For centuries, women hoping to be the next down the aisle have fought over the couple’s bouquets. The tradition began in 19th century England, with the stipulation that the lucky lady who received the bouquet would be married shortly thereafter.
But to avoid a WWE-style brawl between would-be brides, some new wives pre-select a single person to whom they hope to pass the coveted torch. New wife Chloe Robinson avoided the drama of the big day by handing her bouquet directly to her mom, whose then-boyfriend immediately got down on one knee and proposed.
Sadly, not everyone enjoys this ritual.
A daft guest proved he wasn’t ready to get married after he left a wedding in Millbrook, Alabama, after his girlfriend snatched the flower bag.
Yet the rowdy participants in this week’s Bosnian celebrations made it painfully clear that they were not only ready to marry, they were ready to fight.
After one woman grabbed the bouquet, two other women also grabbed the pink bouquet. Then the three of them started a tug-of-war, and finally the three people in sparkling evening gowns fell to the ground.
The wrestling became intense as DJ and some bystanders tried to persuade the girls to give up the fight, but the motivated fighters could not be stopped.
“If I were the male guest at that wedding, I would have quietly disappeared,” mocked one online commentator.
Another viewer said: “Once they are on the ground, it is a matter of principle not to let go,” seeming to sympathize with the thugs.
“What pathetic women,” one cynic snapped. “But I’m curious to see how it all ends, who wins in the end, and what they’ll be like after it all.”
