On the night of his wedding, the groom’s attempt to serenade his bride tragically resulted in him dislocating his elbow, and he ended up in the hospital.
Australian Adam Quinn tells his new bride Helen that he loves her “very much” in a video that Tom Healy, the wedding cameraman, uploaded online. Adam Quinn then decides to demonstrate his love for Helen through some errant dancing.
The next scene in the clip shows him jogging in a circle with his companions before he suddenly collapses onto his shoulder.
The video then cuts to him on a stretcher being taken to the hospital by paramedics.
Bride Helen posted a photo of her in hospital with her groom and wrote: “In sickness and in health #weddingday.”
Helen said that she and her new husband dealt with the “in sickness” part of their wedding vows only hours after exchanging them, as a result of some spilled beer.
“He came out to me and he was as white as a ghost,” she told Australian news site 7News.
“He told me that he thought he had broken his arm. It turned out he had dislocated his elbow,” she explained, saying they snuck out of the reception to get help.
“It’s pretty embarrassing and I get a little triggered looking at the photos and watching the video,” she admitted.
According to the groom, his unfortunate accident was a result of trying to be romantic.
“I was singing a classic love song, I thought it was really romantic,” he explained in the clip as he lay in a hospital bed with his shoulder strapped.
“But then I took a spill on a Corona! I think I’ve dislocated my elbow,” he said.
