A wedding in Brentwood was delayed after a blood soaked man, who had just hacked his testicles off with a pair of scissors, entered the church that was being prepared for the nuptials.
According to Brentwood Weekly News, the vicar and florist were putting finishing touches to All Saints Church, ahead of the ceremony, due to start an hour later, when the unidentified man entered the premises.
An unnamed pal of the bride and groom was told by the vicar that the guests were not allowed to enter the church as a man had injured himself.
The wedding guest told the publication that there was blood all over the floor just outside the church and when he went in there it looked like someone had been murdered.
The onlooker added that he saw something on the church floor, which he could only describe as flesh or part of an arm, but that was one of the man's testicles.
Half-an-hour later, the wedding took place and the bride didn't know anything about the bizarre incident.
