Dramatic scenes unfolded during a wedding in a church in Pyrgos, which turned into a… boxing ring.

According to patrisnews.com, during the ceremony, at the moment when the phrase “and the wife must fear her husband” was heard, the bride stepped on the groom’s foot, and he reacted far from calmly.

Guests at the wedding reported that the groom turned towards the bride and struck her in the face. The bride’s relatives then attacked the groom, and the ceremony was interrupted.
