Hindi isa kundi tatlong beses bumagsak ang bride na si Catherine Franks sa kanyang kasal.
At matapos niyang sambitin ang “I do” sa harap ng altar, saka siya hinimatay.
Sa sobra niyang pagkahilo ay naantala ang ceremony at kinailangan pa siyang ihiga sa sahig.
Pero sa kabila ng nangyari, nairaos naman ang kasal nila ng groom na si Alex Franks.
Paliwanag ni Catherine, residente ng Louisiana, U.S., hinimatay siya dahil sa exhaustion at dehydration dahil sa matinding init, ulat ng Kennedy News.
Ibinahagi niya ang buong kaganapan sa TikTok, kung saan umani na ang video ng daan-daang libong views.
Sa simula, makikita si Catherine na sobrang excited habang sakay ng school bus na ginamit niya bilang bridal car.
Excited na raw siyang maging Mrs. Franks.
“We get to the wedding and get to the ceremony and I start feeling a bit lightheaded at the altar with everyone watching,” pahayag ni Catherine.
“I think we had just said ‘I do’ and was waiting on the final prayer, so we were technically married.
"We’d been standing there for about forty minutes.
“My husband knew something was wrong and kept looking at me, and I said, ‘I think I’m going to pass out.' I started getting tunnel vision and feeling really lightheaded.”

Nagising daw si Catherine, at ang una niyang nakita ay ang mga sapatos ng kanyang tatay at asawa.
Nang mahimasmasan, sinikap daw ni Catherine na tumayo dahil bigla naalala na hinimatay siya sa gitna ng altar.
“I was trying to get myself together and gather myself because all these people were here and watching me.
“It was so hot on the altar with all the lights.”
In-assure naman daw siya ng kanyang mister na “you’ll be fine,” kaya kumalma si Catherine.
Matapos ang ceremony, maraming guests ang lumapit sa kanya para kumustahin ang kanyang lagayan.
“Lots of people came up to me at the reception and asked if I was okay,” sabi ni Catherine.

Nangyari ang kasal noong July 2023, pero inamin ni Catherine na nagiging running joke na lang sa kanilang pamilya ang pangyayaring ito sa tuwing binabalikan.
Si Catherine, ngayon ay 28, ay isang speech therapist, habang ang kanyang mister na si Alex, 26, ay isang guro.
“I actually went to the emergency room the next day because we think I had a little virus, and I was so dehydrated.
“At the time it was distressing, but now we look back and laugh. It’s funny now. It made the day very memorable! It’s now a family joke,” sabi ni Catherine na ine-expect ang pagsilang sa kanilang baby girl sa darating na April 2024.
