A large fire erupted from the couple’s indoor spark fountains and set the venue ablaze in the middle of their first dance.
A viral video making the rounds on social media showed the scary moment a couple’s indoor fireworks set the entire wedding venue ablaze. The video, originally posted to Reddit ‘s u/whatcouldgowrong subreddit shows the newlyweds sharing a dance alone on the dance floor. The stage next to them contains a row of spark fountains, decorations commonly used in weddings that shoot off tall towers of sparks from a small black box. That’s when a few guests can be seen jumping out of their seats as one of the indoor spark fountains sparked a fire on the ceiling, which was decorated with satin fabric and hanging floral arrangements. One person attempted to throw water onto the fire, but is unable to reach the flames because of the height of the ceiling. Other guests in the video are heard screaming as they noticed the fire start to quickly spread along the ceiling. The bride and groom stopped their first dance after they noticed the large fire overhead. Spark fountains, a commonly-used indoor firework, are typically thought of as ideal for indoor events due to a lack of smoke and odor.
