A group of wedding guests bounced two parked cars out of the way after they blocked in their friend’s vehicle.
Ben Kitchingman said he and two friends decided to take matters into their own hands after waiting around half an hour for the owners of a Mini Cooper and a Toyota RAV4 to return.
The 34-year-old, rugby player Martin, 30, and Danny, 34, were trying to free Martin’s Range Rover, which had been boxed in outside of a wedding venue on Saturday night (1 Aug).

Footage, filmed by Ben’s wife Rachel, shows the men lifting each car and shuffling it sideways in a matter of seconds, creating just enough space for the larger vehicle to manoeuvre out.
Ben, an automatic door technician, said the group first asked the venue to make an announcement over the tannoy calling for the owners to move their cars.
He said even the bride became involved, but after nobody came forward they decided to move the vehicles themselves.
“There was a Mini Cooper and a Toyota RAV4 blocking my mate’s Range Rover in,” Ben, from Bradford, West Yorks, told What’s The Jam.
“It belongs to Martin, who plays professional rugby, and he needed to get home to pick his kids up.

“We got the venue to call it over the tannoy.
“Even the bride got involved but I said, ‘Bugger that, it’s your wedding, get back inside.’
“We gave them another 20 minutes and nobody came out, so I said, ‘Let’s just pick them up and move them.’

“Me, Martin and Danny slid them both sideways so he could manoeuvre his Range Rover out.
“It only took a few seconds.
“They’re not that heavy really.”
By the time he left the wedding at around 11.30pm, both vehicles had been driven away.
He added: “I would have loved to have seen the owners’ faces when they came out and found their cars parked sideways.”
