This young bride was left gasping for breath when a group of seemingly over-excited groomsmen threw 'smoke bombs' in her room during the bridal procession.

The bizarre stunt was recorded at the unnamed bride's home in Heze, in Shandong province, eastern China, on December 8.

In the video from her driver surnamed Zhang, thick smoke emerged from one end of the room, with a group of people covering their mouths to avoid it.

Among them was the beautiful bride, dressed in a traditional Chinese red gown, who sat in the middle of the room and was caught off guard by the groomsmen's antics.

It reportedly happened during a popular wedding game, where the friends and families of the bride blocked the door in a playful manner to prevent the groomsmen from easily seeing the bride.

But the game quickly turned into tears as the door was forcefully broken through by the crowd outside. Zhang said the scene was quite shocking.

According to his description, a bridesmaid demanded a red envelope from the groom during the bridal procession, blocking the door to challenge the groom.

Subsequently, a groomsman threw a smoke bomb into the room. But the smoke was so overpowering that the bride became nauseous and could barely breathe.

Even her clothes reportedly got burned when the seemingly harmless bombs went off.

Zhang said things started off as amusing but quickly went too far. He added: 'It's the first time I've seen such a situation.'
