Moment wedding entrance is ‘ruined' as venue catches on fire
The bride, who looked stunning in a floor-length, long-sleeve gown, and her groom made a grand entrance into their wedding hall, greeted by a drumming circle.
The guests cheered as the newlyweds entered the venue and did a small dance, smiling and gazing at each other lovingly as they celebrated becoming husband and wife.
But unbeknown to the couple, trouble was brewing in the background.
The decorative pyrotechnics that were dotted along the walkway into the hall had ignited a floral arbour at the entrance.
Within seconds, the arch - filled with white and pastel pink flowers and attached to a wooden frame - was on fire.
But the couple seemed blissfully unaware, continuing their dance as the flames grew larger.
The footage, shared on TikTok, even shows some guests and performers glancing nervously at the fire, yet no one appears to raise the alarm or alert the couple.
As the video gained nearly half a million views, viewers were quick to comment on the bizarre scene.
'Love how the drummers played still like when the Titanic was sinking and the violinist still played – dedicated,' joked one.
'(The couple) were oblivious to it all, now that's love,' quipped another.
However, many voiced concern over everyone's lack of action.
'Considering people noticed the blaze immediately, this could have all been avoided if someone had asked the staff members for an extinguisher,' said one.
'Seriously, no one stopped to let them know there was a fire?' questioned another.
Others questioned the use of pyrotechnics indoors, especially near flammable decor.
'Indoor fireworks need to be banned,' claimed one.
'This is unacceptable and shouldn't have happened,' wrote someone else. 'Imagine if someone got hurt'.
Meanwhile, some just shared their sympathies.
'My heart goes out to the wedding couple,' said one. 'I hope they were still able to enjoy their day.'
The poster then shared a follow-up clip, showing guests standing on the waterlogged floor after the fire sprinklers were triggered.
The once stylish room was now flooded with water, the tables were abandoned and guests were standing around, unsure of what to do next.
It is unknown what wedding venue this occurred at.

Inside content creator's $2.7m dream home switch
Controversial online personality Annie Knight splashed $2.7m on a 'forever home' after making $600,000 from an extreme six-hour stunt. The big-ticket purchase of a four-bedroom house with a pool is a big upgrade from her previous most expensive investment, an acreage home bought for $1.37m in August last year. Knight has now listed the earlier purchase, a Gold Coast house she had rented at $1100 a week, for sale. 'I bought the house of my dreams that doesn't need any renovating in a different area,' she said. 'So then I decided to sell the home I bought last year since I'd bought that with the intention of renovating and living in it. 'As an investment property, it just didn't make sense.' The 28-year-old, who was this week ranked in the top 0.01 per cent of creators on an online subscription platform, earlier revealed she had leveraged $600,000 in profit from a one-day filming event involving 583 people. 'When I say this is my dream home I mean it. It is so, so perfect, so much space, huge backyard, a pool.' MORE NEWS Michael Jordan-inspired home hits the market Aussie influencer couple lists designer wellness home Update on Aussie TikTok beauty who fled the country While her purchase of the new four-bedroom house is yet to settle, Knight has listed her Currumbin Waters property for auction on August 22. The Tierney Drive home has three bedroom and two bathrooms over a 4,388 sqm bushland parcel, and is marketed by Coastal agent Emisha Canning. 'Tucked away at the end of a quiet street, this sun-dappled hideaway feels more like a secret treehouse than a suburban home,' the listing states. Features include high ceilings, timber floors and large windows framing a green outlook. An open-plan kitchen and dining zone flow to outdoor decking, while the main bedroom has an ensuite and there's also a study nook. The home's location was described as 'a quiet, family-friendly pocket where the bush meets the sea, just 10 minutes from Currumbin's surf breaks and rockpools, with local shops and sporting facilities all within easy reach'. Knight said the house had been rented last year, with the tenants since vacating ahead of the sale. PropTrack data shows house prices in Currumbin Waters were up 7.1 per cent over the past 12 months to a median of $1.2m. Knight retains another local investment property.

It's official. Baby Shark is the most annoying kids' song when driving
It's official. Baby Shark by Pinkfong is the most distracting kids' song when driving, according to Aussie parents. The song, dating back to the late 20th century, went viral in 2016 after the South Korean entertainment company released a version of the track. The video of the song, with accompanying dance movements, is the most viewed clip on YouTube, accumulating over 15 billion views, research from Allianz Australia has found. See the full list: Fifty-three per cent of Aussie parents nominated the kids' classic as the most distracting song. This was followed by Wheels on the Bus (28 per cent) and Old McDonald's Farm (20 per cent). The research found sixty per cent of Aussie parents say the type of childrens' music they play affects their driving behaviour. Forty per cent say they are more likely to catch themselves speeding as a result. Fast-paced music, particularly songs with over 120 beats per minute (BPM), significantly impaired driving performance. In contrast, slower music, ranging between 60-80 BPM, was found to have a beneficial effect, with 50 per cent of parents saying it helped them stay relaxed. READ MORE: Childcare abuse probe widens with more centres linked to accused worker Allianz GM Laura Halbert told ACM that songs like Baby Shark are "super catchy" but also have a "fast tempo and repetitive nature" that likely has an impact on a driver's ability to concentrate. "As the school holidays come to an end, and with the homeward journey in mind, we want to give parents a simple tool to help them stay focused and ensure the safety of their loved ones," she said. As for her pet song peeve? Ms Halbert, who is a mother herself, nominated Lava Chicken from this year's A MineCraft Movie. To access your own Allianz Seat Belters playlist, click here. It's official.
