A sweet, time-honored wedding tradition turned ugly at a wedding in Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The bride, who was standing with her back to the women, then lobbed the bouquet toward the gathered crowd. Three of the guests jumped to grab the flowers from the air at the same time — and, as the bride turned to see who the lucky recipient of her bouquet might be, the trio began to physically fight over the coveted prize.

One person wrote, “Once they’re on the floor, it becomes a matter of principle to not let go.”

Another joked: “These women would win medals in wrestling at the Olympics.”

According toBrides, the bouquet toss is a centuries-old wedding tradition where the bride tosses the bouquet over her shoulders to a group of single women.

“Whoever catches the bouquet is supposedly ‘next’ to walk down the aisle,” the outlet said. “It usually happens towards the end of the night at the reception, and it can get quite competitive.”
