A bride was stranded beside a motorway in China after clambering out of her white limo for a quick pre-wedding toilet break . Named in a report as 26-year-old Zhang Han , the wife-to-be 's big day turned into a nightmare when the incident unfolded during a toll booth traffic jam in Henan province . Unable to wait any longer , the woman reportedly climbed out of her elaborate chauffeur-driven limousine for a pit stop and told her driver she could catch a lift with the groom .

She had told the groom to wait for her , but he was busy paying the toll and did n't know what was happening , according to China's People 's Daily . Having left everything on the seat - bridal dresses seldom come with pockets - she wandered along the side of the motorway until she could track down a traffic officer . She then had to phone the groom , who realised his mistake and fetched her - leaving hundreds of guests waiting for her big moment . Queues : The bridal couple were waiting in separate cars for a congested set of toll booths ( file photo ) According to the Central European News agency , the bride told an unidentified TV channel : ' I was nervous and wanted to go to the bathroom , so when we turned up at the toll station I told the driver I was going to use the toilet , and told him to wait for me . 'He told me that he was not allowed to wait as he had to go through the toll now that he was in the queue , and so I told him not to wait and I would travel along with other guests . ' The agency claimed the toilet break took longer than the bride had expected - because of all the folds in her gown .
