A Midlands-based Sikh group stormed a wedding because they believed the ceremony violated their religion's holy book.
The group, who set off from Leamington Spa, Warwickshire, in a hired coach on Saturday, succeeded in getting the ceremony called off after they interrupted proceedings.
The Respect for Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Campaign claims that the Sikh book of scriptures should not have been in a place where alcohol, meat and cigarettes were available.
The couple, who intended to get married at the Baylis House hotel in Slough, Berkshire, could only watch as members of the group tussled with the priest before they took the book from him, according to reports.
The incident is thought to be the second occasion in recent weeks in which the group has disrupted a wedding for religious reasons. The first raid was at a ceremony in east London.
The men are understood to scour the internet for tip offs about such weddings, which they consider to be irreligious.
A leader from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Campaign said: "We saw on the internet that a wedding was due to take place at Baylis House, which has a marriage licence.
"This would have violated our holy book, because our religion forbids the book being anywhere near alcohol or cigarettes.
"We went down to Slough in a bus in the early hours of Saturday. When we got there the families were all in the car park.
"We saw the priest carrying the Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji on his head, which is traditional. We tried to get hold of it but he would not let go. So two of our lads went either side of him and grabbed the book off his head.
"All we had to do was grab the holy book and get out of there to the nearest temple and restore the book to its rightful place."
