Guests and bystanders alike were stunned on Tuesday afternoon when a groom in England made his grand wedding entrance in spectacular style, perched atop a tank, escorted to the venue by a Lamborghini sports car.

The waiting crowds cheered and a traditional Punjabi bhangra band played as the groom stormed the wedding venue at Bolton’s Excellency Center.

Reaction online to the ostentatious arrival was one of confusion, comic relief and even outrage.

“What an absolute d**khead!” wrote one disgruntled user. “He’s getting married not starting world war 3!”

“At war with his in-laws he will need that tank,” joked another.
