When a Medical Emergency happens

Nerves can affect everyone involved with a wedding, not just the bride and groom as most people may think. Family members of the bride and groom usually feel anxious as well, whether it be about toasts, their big dance, or just making sure every is just perfect. What happens when a parent encounters a medical issues beyond just the normal wedding day jitters?

This situation happened to an Elegant Affairs couple. The bride's grandfather suddenly starting feeling unwell just minutes before the ceremony and required immediate medical attention. The EA team was there to support the medical emergency by calling 911 immediately and getting the urgent care the grandfather needed. We were also there to support bride emotionally as she was undoubtedly upset about the situation and assure her that her grandfather would be okay and that he would still want her to get married that day.

In the end the bride’s grandfather ended up recovering that night and rest of the wedding went on as planned.
