Emotions can often get the better of jubilant relatives during a wedding celebration. But rather than shedding a tear, this grandmother somehow managed to throw her drink over the bride.

The awkward moment, caught on camera, happened as happy couple Darren and Jennifer Nock emerge from their marriage service to be cheered by guests and showered in confetti.

But in a moment of confusion, Darren's grandmother threw her glass of Pimms straight into the face of the bride instead of her cup of confetti.

Aghast, Darren's grandmother gets understandably upset, but the groom and other guests quickly rally round to comfort her.

YouTube user Darren Nock posted the video on the video-sharing website with the message: 'Unfortunately this actually happened on our Wedding Day! Watch Grandma, she got confused with the confetti cup in one hand and the glass of Pimms in her other hand!

'Luckily my wife was very cool about it and we laughed it off pretty much straight away, ish! Grandma still cringes when we reminisce about this story!

'For anyone who was concerned over the welfare of my Grandma watching Pimmsgate, there is a little follow up video to show she was OK.'

Mr Nock also posted a follow up video showing Jennifer kissing his grandmother after the Pimms incident to reassure viewers that no harm was done.

He even added a message which read: 'A very big thanks to Grandma who made our day even more memorable! We love you!'

The first video has already been viewed by more than 700,000 people on YouTube since it was first posted last June.
