A hilarious video of a newly-wedded couple spotted trying to cross a busy road in Dalkey has gone viral on social media.

The bride and groom repeatedly try to cross the road with traffic zooming by with little success.

But luckily, a helpful employee from O'Brien's Wine in Dalkey was on hand to help the couple out.

The young couple were even gifted a lovely bottle of wine as they were safely guided across the road to cheers from onlookers.

Meanwhile, social media users took to Twitter to praise the helpful employee from O'Brien's Wine for assisting the young couple.

One user wrote: "Lovely gesture - but I have to say it - could no one stop to let them cross?"

Another wrote: "Love the groom almost forgetting his bride he was so chuffed with getting his bottle"
