Wedding descends into chaos as bride, 19, screams at 'rude' guests from altar EXCLUSIVE: Kaitlin Rooney, 19, shouted from the altar at guests talking over the priest during her wedding, with a TikTok clip of the moment gaining more than 2.5 million views. A bride was filmed losing her cool and yelling at "rude" wedding guests to "shut up" from the altar — after they talked over the priest. Kaitlin Rooney married Lawrence Rooney at St Gregory's Church, Northampton, Northamptonshire, on May 28 but was running two hours late due to taking wedding photos. The already "panicked and stressed" 19-year-old claims her "rude" guests simply wouldn't stop chatting after she made her entrance into the church. Kaitlin says she grew "angry" when the noise forced the "really stressed" priest to stop mid-speech, and she knew that if she didn't intervene, her guests would continue talking over him. Video footage posted on TikTok captures the moment Kaitlin shouts at her guests, captioned: "I was not a bridezilla, people made me be one", and has since gone viral with more than 2.5 million views. In the clip, the priest can be heard saying "we come together" before abruptly falling silent as guests carry on chattering over him. The furious bride then spins round to face the noisy congregation and bellows "everyone shut up" before fixing them with a fierce glare. The carer admits she was left "shocked and upset" when her guests failed to listen, and was "grateful" when the best man whistled to bring the room to order. Despite the drama, the bride insists it was still "the best day ever" and now "sees the funny side of it", urging other brides to "cherish the bad moments along with the good". Kaitlin, from Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, said: "My guests brought the bridezilla side out in me. "After I got ready my photographer was taking photos but he was taking photos for a very long time so I was already nearly two hours late to my own ceremony. "I was panicking and stressing and thinking the priest is going to be so [annoyed]. Everyone kept talking and I knew my priest was already upset over me being nearly two hours late. "I just stood thinking 'don't do it, don't scream, maybe they'll quiet down in a second'. Then the priest stopped talking and was looking around really stressed. "I knew if I didn't say something they'd keep at it. Their conversations were just about how nice I looked and that they couldn't believe we were getting married. I know I looked nice but they could've waited. "I was giving everyone dirty looks like 'shut up' but nobody was taking it so I had to speak up then. I just screamed 'everyone shut up' but when I did no one listened. "I was like 'oh, I just screamed in the church' because you're not supposed to do that. The priest even looked at me and had a little grin on his face and I think he wanted to laugh too." She said she was "quite shocked and upset" when her guests failed to listen. "It was my husband's best man that had to whistle for everyone to go quiet. I'm grateful, if it wasn't for him, I think everyone would've still been sitting there talking. "Everyone told me about it 'I can't believe what you did, you just screamed'. All I wanted them to do was shut up. I was trying to get married and I thought people were being a bit rude talking over the ceremony. They're really noisy guests. "Everyone's telling me in the comments 'why would you have kids at your wedding?'. I have a four-year-old little brother so it was kind of hard not to have them. "I love kids and it's hard to say no children when that's a part of our family, it's the adults that really got to me. " The newlywed, who met her 18-year-old husband at a concert in 2024, says she can now look back and laugh at the moment, urging other brides not to stress too much. Kaitlin said: "In the moment I was really angry but now I don't care about them talking, now I look back and it was funny. I knew there was going to be a moment where I ended up screaming at someone and it turned out to be the whole church, but that's okay." "Everyone told me I was right for what I did and that they would've done worse than what I did and they would've kicked everyone out. I'm not like that and I just wanted them to be quiet. "I was having one of those days but it's one of those moments I'd love to go back on. It was the best day ever and I couldn't fault it even with the things that went wrong. "I think sometimes on your wedding day you have to have things that go wrong to make it a wedding day. It makes you remember those moments." "Don't stress about your wedding and if anything goes wrong cherish it because those moments will always be a reminder of what happened on your big day."
