Croatian World Cup fans take over Philadelphia and invade some couple's wedding photos

Video World Cup fans embrace American culture during tournament Host Aisha Hasnie and Fox News contributor Joe Concha explore the unique cultural experiences of foreign fans attending the FIFA World Cup in the US. They showcase viral social media posts of fans discovering American staples like Waffle House and Big Gulps. A heartwarming video also features Scottish fans celebrating their team by serenading a New England neighborhood with bagpipes.

Croatia has had some big-time success at the last couple of World Cups, but their final match of the group stage is a big one as they try to battle their way into the next round of the tournament.

The easiest way to do that will be beating Ghana on Saturday in Philadelphia, and while that's not going to be an easy task, there's no question that there will be plenty of support for them.

The day before the match, red-and-white-checked fans practically took over part of Philadelphia, and that included one couple's wedding photo shoot.

Maybe it's different in Croatia, but you usually can't mess with a bride's photo sesh and come away unscathed.

Philadelphia Sports Network writer Jimmy King found a massive crowd outside Philadelphia City Hall living it up, as World Cup fans are wont to do. But amid the festivities, a newlywed couple, their wedding party and their photographer got caught in the fray.

The wedding party seemed to be into it, which is great, because imagine if they had stumbled across a bona fide bridezilla?

I don't think I want to imagine it. It would be ugly.

She spent her whole life dreaming of those photos, and I would feel comfortable betting that she did not picture throngs of Croatian soccer fans.

Good on them for having fun, because that's a moment everyone there will remember for the rest of their lives, which is more than most people can say about wedding photos.

Normally, they're just the one thing standing between you and the cocktail party.

I've got to say, I'm impressed by how many of these nations travel really well.
