In a video posted online, the bride, @mariamarii_, appeared to be struggling to breathe and was unable to comfortably enter the car due to the restrictive nature of her traditional corseted wedding gown.
An unidentified woman, likely the designer, quickly came to her aid, helping her bend backward to get into the vehicle instead of sitting down.
