A bride from Beijing has sued guests at her wedding after a toast went very wrong.

The guests made her perform a toast, in which her husband had to hold her in his arms.

Unfortunately, he slipped, and dropped her, and the injuries she sustained cost 50,000 yuan (US$6,165) in medical fees.

The woman decided to make the guests pay for her misfortune, and the court ordered them to pay half the amount.
