Bride gives birth just moments after wedding

A bride gave birth only minutes after tying the knot at a townhall wedding in western France, making it more of a “big day” than anticipated, the local mayor revealed.

“It did rather shake us up,” admitted Jean-Robert Gachet, mayor of Jallais, after hearing that mother and baby were doing well.

Saturday’s ceremony at 11.00am was nearly called off after the heavily pregnant bride had several false alarms, although her due date was Jul 14.
