They made their vows and exchanged rings in front of family and friends before leaving under a shower of confetti.
But then things rapidly turned sour for the 23-year-old bride and her groom. They began arguing on the steps of the town hall where they had wed.
And she demanded a divorce - ten minutes after getting married. She dashed back inside and pleaded with the deputy mayor to annul her marriage to her 25-year-old husband.
Fighting then broke out between the couple's families outside the building in Tours in the Loire Valley, France, on Saturday.
A witness said: 'The two mother-in-laws were punching and scratching each other, and officers had to prise them apart.'
Officials were unable to annul the marriage and the couple will now have to apply for a divorce.
Deputy mayor Frangois Lafourcade, who conducted the ceremony, told local paper La Nouvelle Republique: 'For a while everything was going smoothly, the room was decked with flowers and everyone was smartly dressed and looking forward to happy occasion.
'During the ceremony, I went through the vows and looking back, the bride did say "yes" rather hesitantly.
'After it was over I pronounced them man and wife and they all left the room.
'I stayed behind and ten minutes later the bride came running back looking very flustered and insisted I divorce her on the spot.'
One guest at the wedding said police were then called to break up a violent punch-up outside the building between the families.
He added: 'The two mother-in-laws were punching and scratching each other, and officers had to prise them apart.
'The bride was guided out of the building later on her own under a police escort.'
Tours town hall's registry division said later it was unable to annul the marriage and the couple would now need to apply for a divorce.
A spokesman said: 'The only way we could have declared that ceremony invalid was if they had not consented willingly, if one of them was underage, or if there was a case of incest or bigamy.
'But this was apparently not the case, so they are going to have to find lawyers and apply for a divorce through the courts just like everyone else.'
