Moment nervous groom prepares for 'first look' at stunning bride - before being pranked by best man in £1 tiara

This is the moment a Stockport groom prepared for this emotional 'first look' at his stunning bride - before his best man stole the show.

Nervous John McDonagh was expecting to see fiancée Zoey Lacey, now McDonagh, as he turned around. The couple were about to tie the knot and their photographer had been asked to get ready for the touching moment John would see the 'beautiful bride' for the first time in her dress.

But when John was told to turn around, he was instead greeted to groomsman Hamza Shep donning his sister's old wedding dress and the bargain tiara. Instead of shedding a tear at his stunning bride, 33-year-old John burst out laughing at the prank. Now, he is preparing to get his own back at Hamza's wedding later this year.
