The bride said she tried to move away, but his grip around her waist was too tight so she told him several times to let her go.
The best man reportedly refused to let the bride go and only loosened his grip once he saw the groom walking over.
The bride returned to her table with the groom and G.C. sat down and continued to drink as if nothing had happened.
