A groom in India felt the wrath of his bride after he left his own marriage ceremony early to play in a 7-a-side game with his mate.
Ridvan from Kerala in India, plays for FIFA Manjeri as a defender and their Malappuram 7s league clashed with his big celebration.
But he loves the beautiful game so much that he ended up swerving the wedding night in favour of some footy, in a move that did not go down well with his other half.
According to Sayan Dey from talksports24x7, he told his wife: "Excuse me for five minutes!" before he headed off to the game, which his team won.
But his Mrs was understandably annoyed at where his priorities lie, asking him, "So if the game was at noon, would you cancel the marriage for the game?".

It reminds us a bit of the Indian wedding in Bend It Like Beckham, where Jess is eventually given permission by father to leave her sister's special day and play in the finals.
She changed into her kit in the car, turned the game around in just half an hour and earned a scholarship in the United States to finish the film.
Something tells us Ridvan's story might not have a fairytale ending, though we do wish the husband and wife a happy marriage.
