A wedding was completely washed away after a huge wave crashed through the reception.
Guests were enjoying a seaside ceremony at the Hulihe'e Palace in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, yesterday (17 July), when the water became a little bit too choppy. Have a look for yourself:
In footage that has been shared on social media, guests can be seen having a few drinks and chatting, seemingly oblivious to the massive wave coming straight at them.
After a few seconds, a few start turning round to look over at the sea as the wave gets closer and closer to the shore.

Understandably worried, a few try to move further inland, but the majority stick around to see what happens.
And what happens is that the water comes crashing over the wall, wiping out tables and chairs, as well as a fair few guests along the way.
Speaking to Khon2 about the incident, newlyweds Dillon and Riley Murphy said no one was badly injured and the party continued.
The couple said: "We were kind of right at the moment where we were going to start moving a couple of things and this big wall basically just showed up.

"Luckily there was no food in any of the containers."
Riley added: "We didn't have our dance floor, but nobody seemed to mind, at the end of the night we were all like dancing in the mud and it was amazing."
Writing about the special day, Riley said not even the waves could dampen their celebration.

She said: "We went all last week praying that the remnants of hurricane Darby would 't bring rainfall, foolishly thinking that weather could have any impact on our special day.
"Never had we thought about the high surf that eventually made its way over the sea wall, sweeping away half of our reception.
"What would have been considered a disaster a day ago turned into a beautiful union of family and friends helping to rearrange our reception in the most perfect way."

Earlier this year, scary footage posted online showed the moment water smashed through the windows of a ferry in Germany during a wild storm.
In the video, which was recorded in Hamburg, the wave can be seen crashing against the front of the boat, with water gushing through vessel and soaking passengers.
According to Hadag and Hochbahn, the ferry's operator, nobody was seriously injured as a result of the incident.
