WELLINGTON, New Zealand, July 28 (UPI) -- A young wedding guest desperate to catch the bride's bouquet was caught on camera dropping a baby to dive for the flowers.

The video, filmed at a wedding in New Zealand and uploaded to YouTube by LivTheGinjaNinja, features a young girl holding the baby among a group of women waiting to catch the bouquet.

The bride throws the bouquet, and the young girl quickly drops the baby in favor of diving backward in an attempt to snatch the flowers out of the air.

The young girl is unsuccessful, having lost out to a much taller wedding guest, and picks up the seemingly uninjured infant.

The video's description says the baby is the young girl's sister and was not harmed in the filming.

"Note: the baby was not harmed in the video," the uploader wrote.
