A groom was in for a surprise from a priest after the latter uttered the famous ‘you may kiss the bride’ mantra in church during his wedding.

He proceeded to conform to this ancient wedding ritual by locking lips with the bride, now his wife but the officiating priest abruptly stopped him for probably overdoing it by giving him a slap on his back head.

The priest, with a playful spirit, decided to intervene uniquely. “I thought the groom is a gentleman, but didn’t know he’s a bad boy,” the priest remarked, eliciting laughter from the wedding attendees.

The video has sparked a huge debate on the internet as many netizens are not impressed with the action of the man of God.
