Guests rushed to assist the bride who “began to suffocate at the table”.
They called an ambulance to a banquet hall at Tsaritsyno Palace, founded by Catherine the Great, in Moscow where the wedding party was held.

Doctors said she had suffered "anaphylactic shock" believed to have been caused by a nut allergy.
Ms Erokhova had suffered from a nut allergy since childhood and relatives had told this to the cooks in advance, according to her family.
The sweet dishes which the bride ate did contain nuts, according to reports.
She had studied banking and finance at the elite Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration in Moscow.
Police are understood to be investigating the tragedy.
