Groom surprises bride-to-be with flash mob wedding

BUFORD, Ga. -- It's a viral video with a whole lot of heart: a YouTube clip of a recent wedding that left the bride completely stunned.

Brian Green planned a surprise wedding for his wife -- a flash mob wedding.

Green and Christina McGinnis had been together since 2010 and engaged since 2013. They also gave birth to a daughter, 23-month-old Aspen. They had already started their lives, but they found wedding-planning too expensive and frustrating.

"It took away the purpose and excitement of being married," Green told WXIA. "The wedding is just the ceremony. The marriage is what's important, so I just wanted to focus on the marriage."

But before that, he planned a flash mob wedding at the Mall of Georgia, tricking his wife into wearing her would-be wedding dress for a church "photo shoot."

"I didn't have a clue," said McGinnis. "Not one clue."
