This is the amusing moment a bride's back-bending wedding kiss went wrong - sending her toppling backwards.

The humorous wedding mishap unfolded when Angelica Marasigan and husband Lawrence, both 25, had exchanged their vows on July 26 in Quezon City, the Philippines.

Footage shows the moment the bride and groom leaned in for a spectacularly photogenic kiss, but suddenly, the bride lost her balance and started to fall backward.

Fortunately, the groom swiftly grabbed her by the waist, preventing her from hitting the ground and ruining her dress.

The incident sparked laughter among the couple and their guests, adding a light-hearted touch to their special day.

A back-bending wedding kiss is a type of wedding kiss where the groom bends backwards and the bride leans forward, so that their lips meet at a 90-degree angle. This type of kiss is often seen as being more romantic and passionate than a traditional kiss, and it can make for a beautiful and memorable wedding photo.
