A groom has revealed the reason he burst into tears as he saw his bride walking down the aisle on their wedding day.
Gabriel Deku broke down after he saw his wife Annabella at their fancy ceremony at St Martin In The Fields church at Trafalgar Square in London.
Cameras captured the emotional moment in a stylish wedding video.

Touching his mate on the shoulder, Tolu, who introduced the couple to each other four years ago, can be heard saying: "Come on, stand up, stand up. This is your moment, man. You look at her.
"You look at her now, you look at her man. You look at her. You stand up and you look at your wife."
When the couple eventually hugged, the congregation are crying as well - including the bridesmaids.

Gabriel told MailOnline: "Leading up to the wedding I was the complete opposite - I actually had a bet with my mum that I wouldn't cry.
"Seeing her there, I suddenly felt a big appreciation of what I actually have. Knowing that I'm in a relationship like that made me really overjoyful; where someone loves me unconditionally."
He added: "She looked so beautiful. We have different characters; she is actually the more emotional one in the relationship, while I was trying to be the hard man. I kept saying, I'm not going to cry."
However, Gabriel insists that he kept his composure during the reception, saying: "I had a bit of nerves, I was OK."
