A flurry of hopeful hands reached out, but amidst the crowd, it was his girlfriend who snagged the floral prize.<br/><br/>Surprise bloomed on her face, quickly replaced by pure joy. She squealed and pulled the bride into a tight hug, congratulating her with even more excitement.<br/><br/>Unable to contain himself, he whooped with delight and launched into a victory lap. A goofy grin stretched across his face as he pumped his fists in the air, clearly imagining himself next in line to walk down the aisle. <br/><br/>Location: Fiorano Modenese, Italy<br/>WooGlobe Ref : WGA936906<br/>For licensing and to use this video, please email licensing@wooglobe.com")
