Father of the bride forgets his own daughter in wedding-day ‘fumble’

Wedding-day mishap featured a scene that everyone took 'in good spirits'

Bride's father forgets her, walks down the aisle alone in wild moment

Dad Neil Crossley was supposed to walk his daughter Amy Totty down the aisle at her wedding when he forgot and started without her. In a funny moment caught on camera, Crossley was stopped and asked to re-do the walk with the bride.

A father of the bride accidentally left his daughter at the back of the aisle on her wedding day. 

Neil Crossley is the 60-year-old dad of daughter Amy Totty, who recently got married in Yorkshire, England.

The father of the bride accidentally had a standout moment during the big day as he started walking down the aisle toward the altar — without the bride.

In what ended up being a moment of miscommunication between the father of the bride and the event staff, Crossley was stopped about halfway down the aisle by staff and told he needed to go back to walk with his daughter.

The moment, caught on camera, had guests at the wedding laughing as Crossley turned around and walked back to escort the bride.
