“Where’s Britney?” he says, before crossing the garden and entering a pink tent decorated with flowers, where he introduces himself by name to people who appear to be finishing wedding preparations.
According to TMZ, an altercation then broke out and the police were called.

Britney Spears and Sam Asghari had remained very discreet about their marriage, the news of which had filtered only very recently in the specialized media.
