A bridegroom escorted his bride during a wedding with four best men disguised as Ultramen, the super heroes in the once-popular animation Ultraman, in South China's Guangdong Province.

A video that went viral online shows the bridegroom with four best men disguised as Ultramen picking up the bride at her home, which is one part of a Chinese traditional wedding process. 

The four best men energetically posted typical gestures in front of the door to welcome the bride out with the eyes part on their costumes shining in the dark early morning.

"They were the bridegroom's colleagues and friends and decided to dress up as Ultraman for the wedding because the bridegroom likes the animation very much," said the man who took the video.

Netizens described the Ultramen group as "best men team in the universe," joking that the bride must have saved the Planetron.
