Guests assemble in the church and begin to notice the air conditioning is not working, and the heat is palpable. Fans and tissues become necessary as everyone settles in for the ceremony. OP, however, feels the weight of the day bearing down on her.

An Unsettling Sensation

Not long after the ceremony begins and the couple starts their speeches, OP feels dizzy and lightheaded. Thinking a quick trip to the bathroom might help, she carefully starts to make her exit. However, her body has other plans.

OP fell onto the wedding photographer, causing him to drop his camera lens. It shatters on the floor, leaving everyone in shock. The wedding is planned on a budget, which means there is no backup equipment.

A Shift in Photography

Without a professional camera, the guests resort to using their cell phones to snap pictures of the celebration. The day, meant to be immortalized in high-quality photos, now depends on smartphones.

One reader said, “By your own admission, you didn’t eat or drink all day even though you knew it was going to be very hot, and you’d been advised to take precautions. And you don’t seem to feel particularly bad about breaking the photographer’s camera lens when you fell.”

Another Commenter Thinks

Another responder wrote, “You were warned that you should eat and drink before the wedding. Why? Because things like fainting and heat exhaustion are real. You ignored the advice. You fainted as a result.”

A Third View on The Story

A different person stated, “You are not a little kid; I don’t care how busy you were – unless you were running from an erupting volcano, you should have stopped to eat and drink, especially on a hot day.”

A Final Perspective on the Matter

Another reader commented, “Drinking a bottle of water and eating a sandwich takes five minutes. I refuse to believe you were so busy all day that you couldn’t stop for five minutes. As a result, you risked your health, broke a camera, and ruined a wedding.”
