A fun wedding tradition quickly turned into an unexpected wrestling match when the tossing of the bridal bouquet led to a confrontation among the wedding guests.
The incident took place on September 9 during a reception in Ljubuški, Bosnia and Herzegovina, where three women were fighting fiercely over the lucky charm.
Hilarious footage filmed by a guest shows the tradition beginning innocently enough, with a group of women counting down as the bride announces the launch of her bouquet.
After she finally throws the flowers behind her, three women try to grab the bouquet at the same time, leading to chaos.
One woman fell to the ground, pulling the other two with her. The fight began.

A man on the microphone tried to calm the situation down by suggesting they do the throw again, but the brides-to-be were too determined.
The trio, dressed in silver, blue and black dresses, were seen rolling on the floor, dragging each other across the room in a desperate attempt to get the bouquet.
Stunned guests looked on, some laughing nervously, others in shock, as the women continued to engage in a tug-of-war, ignoring those trying to end the chaos.
In the end, it looked like the woman in black would come out on top, using her legs to hold the other two to the ground and secure the prize.
The bizarre brawl, which has since gone viral, caused amusement and confusion among bystanders, What’s The Jam reports.
One local commented: ‘If I had been a man at that wedding, I would have quietly disappeared,’ while another added: ‘What pathetic women. But I wonder how it ended, who won in the end and what they looked like after all that fuss.’
A third said: ‘Once they’re on the ground, it’s a matter of principle not to let them go.’
Others joked that the women could easily win medals in wrestling at the Olympics, given their determination.

This happened after a guest at an upcoming wedding became furious about the arrangements the bride and groom had made for the reception.
The attendee complained about the situation on Reddit’s wedding subreddit, calling it “the most bizarre ‘reception’ idea ever.”
She further explained, “My husband has a friend who is getting married next year.
‘He and his fiancée booked a posh mansion in an expensive neighborhood for the ceremony and dinner.
“But the venue doesn’t allow music after 9pm and to save money, they don’t even play music at all.”
