Hilarious video shows wedding guests ignoring nuptial celebrations to watch England’s thrilling Euros clash against Switzerland
A hilarious wedding video shows guests ignoring the wedding ceremony to watch the thrilling match between England and Switzerland at the European Championships.
The video was posted by Gary Stafford (@staffordgary) on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption: ‘At a wedding when there’s football, come on England’.
It starts with a handful of guests sitting outside in the sun chatting, then moves on to the rest of the audience, sitting at their tables or standing around a projector to broadcast the quarterfinals.

The Three Lions celebrate their victory in the UEFA Euro 2024 quarter-final between England and Switzerland at the Düsseldorf Arena in Düsseldorf today.
In true British style, most of the party decided that the match against England deserved more attention than the wedding celebrations.
In early June, as the European Championships kicked off, brides across the country got goosebumps at the thought that their guests, and more importantly, their partners, would find football more important than their wedding.
One of those brides was Lauren Singer, who married an avid football fan on June 16 on the day of England’s opening match against Serbia and was left “furious” about the encounter.
‘It’s the England match and my wedding,’ the 31-year-old told Metro.co.uk. ‘It cost us £19,000… I wouldn’t mind if it was any other match because my guests wouldn’t make such a big deal about it, but it’s England.’

The couple had booked the ceremony venue well in advance of their big day, but the venue later told them that the reception would be held at one end of the club, while football fans would be watching the England match in the room next door.
Lauren’s worst nightmare? She said, “You walk down the aisle of that church — and his whole side is on their phones because they’re fans.”
Millions of Britons were glued to their TV screens again tonight to watch Southgate’s men beat Switzerland 5-3 on penalties in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 in Düsseldorf.
