The moment a bride flipped the finger at her new father-in-law was caught on camera sparking a huge family fight in the middle of the wedding reception.

The blushing bride - identified only as Lena - is seen in her large white gown when she turns to the camera and raises her middle finger.

At first it looks like the gesture is a joke as the woman, from Russia, accompanies it with a cheeky smile and a wink.

But her new father-in-law is less than impressed and launches towards her within seconds.

A male can be heard saying: "What the heck is this? Put your middle finger on the plate and I cut it with a knife"

Before her father-in-law screamed: "You freaking cow.

"Get the f*** out of here."

One woman, trying to cover the bride's mouth with her hand, says: "Lena, please calm yourself down."

While another man helpfully urges: "Go on, kill her."

Then the bride's father-in-law then seems to lose his temper completely.

He shouts: "You damned w***e!

"I spent a lot of money on this wedding and what did you do?"

He starts shoving and slapping his daughter-in-law who falls to the floor.

A woman's voice can then be heard saying: "Lena, are you out of your f*****g mind?"

In the footage Lena is led away in tears as her in-laws try to kick her.

Watchers have been baffled about why the fight broke out but the numerous empty bottles of vodka on the tables might be a clue.

But one netizen called Johh Anvarbekov wrote: "This is just a typical Russian wedding."
