- Bride's grandmother gets confused when holding Pimm's and confetti
- Accidentally throws her drink straight into the bride's face in Cornwall
- Newlywed looks horrified - but husband says she's since been forgiven
- Bride tells MailOnline: 'It helped the day because it got everyone talking'
Emotions can often get the better of jubilant relatives during a wedding celebration - but rather than shedding a tear, this grandmother somehow managed to throw her drink over the bride.
The awkward moment, caught on camera, happened as happy couple Darren and Jennifer Nock emerge at their marriage reception in Cornwall to be cheered by guests and showered in confetti.
But in a moment of confusion, Mrs Nock's grandmother threw her glass of Pimm's straight into the face of the bride - instead of her cup of confetti.

Horror: Guests react in shock as they realise the bride has been doused by the bride's grandmother
Aghast, Mrs Nock's grandmother gets understandably upset, but the groom and other guests quickly rally round to comfort her.
Mrs Nock told MailOnline today: 'The wedding was in May 2009. We only had a small wedding, about 30 people there, and we were coming out of our reception venue.
'We'd just turned up to have drinks and canapés and we weren’t allowed to have confetti in the church, so we were having it there. We were just coming out prior to the photos.

'My lovely grandma got the drink and the confetti mixed up. One of my bridesmaids said: “Oh grandma it's okay. My reaction was the shock of having something thrown in my face - I wear contact lenses.

Jennifer Nock
'I couldn’t have cared about the dress. It didn't ruin the day at all. Grandma stayed out for the full day - and it helped the wedding because not everyone knew each other, and it got everyone talking.
YouTube user Mr Nock posted the video with the message: 'Unfortunately this actually happened on our wedding day. Watch grandma, she got confused with the confetti cup in one hand and the glass of Pimm's in her other hand.'Luckily my wife was very cool about it and we laughed it off pretty much straight away. Grandma still cringes when we reminisce about this story.
Forgiven: A second video posted by Mr Nock shows his wife kissing her grandmother to prove all is well
Happy ending: Mr Nock thanked his wife's grandmother for making their wedding 'even more memorable'
All good fun: Mrs Nock's grandmother, pictured with the couple, was presented with a 'Tippie' cup at her next grandchild's wedding
'For anyone who was concerned over the welfare of my Grandma watching "Pimmsgate", there is a little follow up Video to show she was OK.'
'Luckily my wife was very cool about it and we laughed it off pretty much straight away'
Mr Nock also posted a follow up video showing Jennifer kissing his grandmother after the Pimm's incident to reassure viewers that no harm was done.
