Weddings are about capturing perfect moments, but sometimes it’s the unplanned hiccups that steal the spotlight.

One guest’s lack of preparation at a family wedding led to a broken camera and even more broken trust.

You’ll want to read on for this one.

AITA for fainting at my aunt’s wedding and ruining it?

I (21F) attended my aunt’s wedding a few weeks ago. I was not part of the wedding, just a guest, which I was fine with.

Before the wedding, everyone was advised to drink lots of water and eat beforehand because it was going to be extremely hot that day.

But she couldn’t be bothered to follow this advice.

The wedding started at 5:00 pm, and I had absolutely nothing to eat or drink up until then except maybe a granola bar because I was extremely busy that day.

So when it was time for the wedding, I was already tired and hungry.

She could feel the faintness start to set in.

About thirty minutes into the wedding (which was at a church, btw), I was feeling uneasy and lightheaded, so I excused myself to go to the washroom.

As I was walking, I got that feeling like I was about to collapse.

She wakes up to a crowd of people around her.

The next thing I can remember was coming to and seeing lots of people surrounding me, including the bride and groom.

It turns out, the situation was even worse than she expected.

Apparently, when I fainted, I fell onto the photographer, who was crouched down near me.

Not only that, but he dropped the camera lens down, and it broke.

Tbh, I don’t even remember seeing the photographer, but I may have been too dizzy or something to have seen him.

The camera was a goner and the bride was now in tears.

The wedding was a bit of a cheaper one, so the photographer was a family friend of the groom’s who only had one camera with him.

The bride was just in tears that she wouldn’t have any good pictures from her wedding.

The photographer insisted that he could drive home and grab a different one, but it would take too long.

She felt she didn’t deserve all the grief. In her mind, it was something she couldn’t control.

The bride was indeed mad at me, but I feel it was a bit harsh, as it was extremely embarrassing for me already. Fainting never even crossed my mind as something that would happen at all.

They did get pictures, but they were on cellphones.

AITA?

The photographer may be able to repair their lens, but can this couple do the same for their wedding album?

What did Reddit think?

While she may not have intentionally caused her family harm, she still needs to take responsibility in her role for her family’s wedding going south.

She had every warning and she still chose to ignore them all.

Taking a basic health precaution really isn’t as difficult as she’s making it seem.

Why did she think she was so important as to ignore a very basic set of directions?

They say that you should never outshine the bride.

So needless to say, by passing out after ignoring precautions, she gets an F in this category.

She certainly left an impact on this wedding — just not a good one.
