A filipina bride is suing her former fiance after he ran off with another woman before the wedding ceremony had even finished.
The couple had nearly finished saying their vows when a woman appeared at the back of the church and shouted that the wedding should stop, the Philippine Star newspaper reported today.
The groom - who had been about to say 'I do' - hesitated before walking to the woman and hugging her, and the pair fled in a taxi, the newspaper added.
The bride said she had suffered 'irreparable damages' and had not slept well after the incident in December.
She is reportedly seeking 549,630 pesos ($A14,729) in damages.
