In Brazil, where football is considered almost a religion, a young couple has made a choice that is being described as the "blunder of the century" after planning their wedding ceremony at exactly the same time as the Brazilian national team was playing a World Cup match against Morocco.

As the bride and groom exchanged vows and said "I do" in front of family and friends, many guests' attention was elsewhere. Instead of focusing on the romantic moment of the wedding, they had their eyes on their mobile screens to follow every action of the Selecao on the pitch.

The irony of the situation was further deepened by Brazil's disappointing 1-1 draw, leaving fans both in the stadium and at the wedding venue disappointed. On the other hand, the newlyweds will likely remember the day for a long time, not only for their wedding but also for their fierce football "competition".

Scenes of guests engrossed in their phones during the ceremony have begun to circulate widely on social media, becoming one of the most viral and commented moments of this World Cup.
