Wedding guests lifted and shuffled two parked cars sideways to free a friend's boxed-in Range Rover, after waiting half an hour for the owners to return.
Ben Kitchingman, 34, along with pals Martin, 30, and Danny, 34, took matters into their own hands at a wedding venue on Saturday night (August 1). The men were trying to free Martin's Range Rover, which had been blocked in by a Mini Cooper and a Toyota RAV4.
Guests Take Action
Footage filmed by Ben's wife Rachel shows the men lifting each car and shuffling it sideways in seconds, creating enough space for the larger vehicle to manoeuvre out. Ben, an automatic door technician from Bradford, West Yorks, said the group first asked the venue to make a tannoy announcement calling for the owners to move their cars.
Even the bride became involved, but after nobody came forward, they decided to move the vehicles themselves. Ben said: "There was a Mini Cooper and a Toyota RAV4 blocking my mate's Range Rover in. It belongs to Martin, who plays professional rugby, and he needed to get home to pick his kids up."
Quick Solution
Ben recalled: "We got the venue to call it over the tannoy. Even the bride got involved but I said, 'Bugger that, it's your wedding, get back inside.' We gave them another 20 minutes and nobody came out, so I said, 'Let's just pick them up and move them.' Me, Martin and Danny slid them both sideways so he could manoeuvre his Range Rover out. It only took a few seconds. They're not that heavy really."
By the time he left the wedding at around 11.30pm, both vehicles had been driven away. He added: "I would have loved to have seen the owners' faces when they came out and found their cars parked sideways."
