Random man rescues abandoned bride

A bride running 45 minutes late to her own wedding after having her own transport cancelled was rescued by a random passerby. 

Marksteen Adamson was on his way to a friend’s reunion when he spotted the bride looking confused in the middle of the streets of London. 

He thought it would be great to record her crossing the road in her wedding dress when he noticed her gesturing to him. 

It was then he realised that he could help the bride, her sister and her friend to get to the church that was only 10 minutes away.  

"Was driving through London traffic to visit friends for a reunion lunch in South East London when I stopped at a pedestrian crossing and saw a bride looking confused and flustered,” Adamson said in his TikTok video. 

"I started filming as I thought it would be a great shot seeing her cross the road in her full attire. Then she saw me and started walking towards me and gesturing. 

“It turns out that she and her bridesmaid and team had been trying to order Uber cabs but three cabs had canceled at the last minute and she was 45min late for church. 

“Everyone, most importantly her husband to be, were waiting at Holy Trinity Brompton for her to arrive.

"She asked if I could give her and the group a lift, and so they jumped into my Land Rover and I drove her to church. 

“In our short time together we had lots of quick short conversations about everything and got to know each other a little better and new friendships were made.”

Adamson eventually found out the bride’s name is Anastasia, her sister is Alexandra and their friend is Paul. 

He also said that she tried to get him to hurry up as she was “late for church”. 

“After I dropped her off I heard the sound of the organ ring out and knew everything was going to be alright. It was a beautiful sunny day.”
