A groom who had been anxiously awaiting his emotional "first look" at his bride on their wedding day had his nerves turned into laughter when he was instead faced with his bearded best man in a dress and tiara.
John McDonagh, 33, was getting ready to tie the knot with his now-wife Zoey Lacey, also 33, when the pair asked their photographer to capture the moment that he saw her in her wedding dress for the first time.
The groom stood in the grounds of the wedding venue expecting to be moved to tears by the sight of Zoey in her dress, but when he turned around to see his "beautiful bride" he instead found his best mate Hamza Shep walking toward him in a £1 tiara and his sister's old wedding dress.
