This is the moment a pair of newlyweds plunged 12ft from a firework swing during their wedding reception entrance.
Some of the guests screamed in horror as the pair came crashing down to the ground after one side of the swing gave way on Sunday.
Miraculously, neither the groom or his bride suffered serious injuries in the accident in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, central India, the Daily Star reports.
Despite having a few aches and pains, the couple were able to carry on and their wedding reception continued half an hour later.
The accident unfolded when something holding the podium up snapped and twisted to one side, sending the duo plummeting to the floor as their guests looked on in shock.
In the video shared online, music is heard playing at the beginning as the couple are brought up into the air, high above the stage.
As they stand inside the circle, fireworks blast behind them as well as on the ring itself around the edges.
But when the swing gives way it drastically shifts as the crowd gasps in horror and the newlyweds take a dive.
The event management company that organised the entrance, Joe, apologised afterwards.
An employee for the firm said the accident occurred during the Sangeet ceremony - a night of singing and dancing held a few days before the wedding itself.
Describing "technical issues", they said: "No one suffered injuries in the incident. The bride and the groom are safe.”

The staff member added the company will ensure these types of incidents do not happen again in the future.
The clip, shared on social media, left viewers stunned, with some comparing it to a "circus show".
“Why all this show????” one person wrote.
A second added: “I don't know why show off needs nowadays in marriages. Nowadays Marriages should be done under supervision of stunt masters... doctors...”
A third penned: “Empathise with the couple, but on a serious note what's the need of that acrobatic stuff.”
