A BRIDE was left screaming in horror after a penguin pooped all over her white wedding dress just before she’d walked down the aisle.

The animal-lover met the bird as part of a special US wedding package at Sea World, in San Diego.

A resurfaced clip shows the bride and groom getting up close and personal with the black-and-white creature.

The bride hands her bouquet to the bridal party – who joined the couple for the meet and greet – so she can stroke the penguin.

But after reaching out to touch the animal, the penguin does the unthinkable and lifts its tail, squirting poop all over her wedding dress.

The bride screams and there are gasps from her friends as the handler frantically tries to stop the stream with their hands.

The husband of one of the bridesmaids, who shot the clip, later posted about the ordeal online, after he sent it to America’s Funniest Home Videos.

He revealed the couple decided to meet the penguin before they’d exchanged vows – forgoing the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride.

The man said: “Since it was such a unique photo op, they brought in the whole bridal party.

“They were given the option. It wasn't hardcore traditional. The groom did see the bride prior to the wedding.”

But it meant her future husband saw her covered in bird poop on what’s meant to be the most special day of their lives.

The onlooker said: “The wedding took place at Sea World in San Diego. These were the pictures taken with the Bridal Party PRIOR to the actual ceremony.

“Sea World offered this special picture taking event as part of the wedding package.

“Yes, she walked down the aisle with penguin s*** on her dress."

He said that while she had a towel, she wasn’t prepared for how dirty she was going to get.

He continued: “They got 90 per cent of the stain out, but it was still visible. I doubt most people noticed it unless they knew about it.

"We were so distracted with getting her cleaned up, I really don't remember there being a smell."

In the end the bride managed to see the funny side of it, and later laughed.

He added: “She actually laughed about it! She said ‘It's not every day you get s**t on by a penguin!’

5 People have commented that something bad was inevitably going to happen

“She took it very well, considering soon she would be in front of 80+ people with a penguin poo stain.

“The staff and friends did a pretty good job of cleaning / covering it up.”

The video has received hundreds of comments after finding its way on to Reddit.

One person asked: “Why would someone think it's a good idea in the first place?

“Not a whole lot of good can happen when you are counting on wild animals to make your ‘special day’ special.”

Another commented: “Why would any woman be near the business end of ANY animal in her wedding dress?

“I won't use the phrase ‘got what she deserved’, but she certainly got what she was not thinking clearly about.”

While a third said: “Yes, this is the penguin you ordered for your wedding.

“If you'll excuse me while I point its a*****e directly toward your dress...!”
