My family had a great fainting wedding. I have three cousins from the same family who are all sisters. The middle one was getting married, the oldest was the maid of honor, and the youngest was in the wedding party along with their stepsister.

Apparently, the oldest and the youngest hadn't eaten all day and then had a fair amount of champaign on the way to the ceremony. About five minutes into the ceremony, the maid of honor starts to lean a bit back and forth, then more, and then her dad ran forward to catch her as she passed out. They carried her to the pew and then gave the ring to the youngest sister who became the pinch maid of honor.

Who then in turn started to pass out after five more minutes. So two of them are passed out in the pews and now the stepsister is the maid of honor. Fortunately, she hadn't had anything to drink and the wedding was able to be completed without any additional incidents.

We were all waiting for the organist to break into "Another One Bites the Dust" - and I asked the minister what would have happened if the stepsister had passed out - do you go to the mother of the bride? He replied "I don't know, I never went that deep into the lineup before!"

And of course, another cousins' video camera's batteries ran out before he could catch it all on tape, else we probably could have won ten grand on AFV.
