A groom burst out in hysterical laughter when he turned to look at his bride on their wedding day, and found his bearded best man standing there instead.

David Hofmann, 32, was expecting to see his wife-to-be Brianne Dennis, 29, in her white gown, but she had traded places with their friend Timmy Horton, 37.

Photographer Anna Morrison captured the moment David creased in hysterical laughter after seeing his bearded pal wearing a veil and squeezed into a dress.
