Woman Turns Up At Church For Wedding After Getting Invite Before Realising She's The Bride


This woman was given the shock of her life - when she was invited to her OWN wedding. While the bride is usually responsible for the majority of a wedding's organisation, on this occasion, Mercedes Ortiz was kept completely in the dark.
In fact, the stunned bride only found out she would be the star attraction at the wedding when the doors of the church were opened.
