Groom's shocking reaction to his 'beautiful bride' at the altar goes viral
A clip of the scary incident shows Gustavo Schmitz, 23, standing with his bride-to-be Pamela Berto Schmitz, 25, while exchanging vows at the nuptials in Santa Catarina, Brazil on Saturday.
The couple was waiting to say 'I do' when Gustavo suddenly started swaying.
The overcome groom was then seen toppling backwards as the pastor rushed forward in a desperate attempt to save him.
Guests immediately rushed to the groom's side before one of his friends, a doctor, provided assistance and allowed the wedding to continue.
Gustavo blamed the fainting spell on normal wedding-day jitters - as well as the emotion of seeing his gorgeous bride at the altar.
'I suffer a lot from anxiety, I take medication,' Gustavo said in interview with Brazilian news outlet NSC.
'Then, combined with that, the rush, not having eaten almost anything during the day and, mainly, seeing my fiancée looking beautiful the way she was.'
Video of the incident has generated millions of views on social media, prompting the couple to respond to all of the attention.
'We're fine, married and happy, it was just a big scare,' Pamela wrote in a Facebook post.
Gustavo did not have any recollection of the fall but was reminded by Pamela that he had mentioned at the altar that he was not feeling well.
However, Pamela didn't not take him seriously because he is a known prankster.
'I always say that if it's not going to cause trouble, I won't even leave the house,' Gustavo joked.

Opening up in an exclusive interview with The Sun, the smitten couple looked extremely loved up as they dished on their wedding plans. Jacqui and Clint gushed over their extravagant plans for when they tie the knot, revealing when their big day will likely take place, and which MAFS co-star is slated to make a special appearance. "I've got these ideas, and you know, like I want things at my wedding," Jacqui told The Sun. "If I was to have a wedding, or a wedding celebration, or a wedding party of some kind, I want sparklers there, because I think it'd be really cool, and I want to pop some champagne. "And I want to have fireworks." She later added: "If we have a party, we want to have Morena DJ, but we also want to have a jazz band. "So I've kind of said like we could have a jazz band first, and then have Morena [Farina] at a party. 8 "And we still haven't decided whether we want to have like a 3 day event where you've got a welcome party, and then you've got the wedding day, and then you've got a barbecue post the next day.

"I'd love to have that at like a formal private moment with just the two of us as well. "Whether it's, I know some people do reading your vows together. Or some people just do like a sunset walk on their wedding day together. "Something that's just the two of us where nobody else is invited to view or watch, and that would be really important to me just to capture that between the two of us." Revealing when she and Clint will likely get wed, Jacqui said: "Realistically. Next year, I think, yeah, it'd be like, hopefully, summer. "So in between November this year and end of autumn next year will probably be the plan. "6 months somewhere around there.

MTV stars reveal they're ENGAGED following brief split and being rocked by cheating claims - and the wedding is just weeks away
Two reality stars have shocked fans as they revealed their shock engagement on Saturday - less than two months after welcoming their latest child and being rocked by cheating claims. The personalities first appeared on screen together in 2016, taking part in MTV's Ex On The Beach where they were reunited. In a sweet social media post, Helen Briggs revealed she's set to wed long-term lover Chet Johnson after she popped the question to him. Announcing the news on Saturday to her 700,000 Instagram followers, Helen said: 'Today is our 10 year anniversary… & the beginning of something even more beautiful. In a couple of weeks we are saying 'I do". We can't wait for this next chapter…' In a video alongside the post, Helen and Chet were visibly beaming over their exciting next chapter as the hunk shared an insight into Helen's casual proposal. Chet said: 'I was at the gym, and I get this phone call and she's like "do you want to get married?" and I'm like "what do you mean do you want to get married".' In a social media post, Helen Briggs has revealed she's engaged to Chet Johnson after she finally popped the question to him Helen, 29, added: 'If anyone knows me, I always said 10 years and I'll decide if I want to get married or not.' He added that the day before Helen gave birth to their youngest child Honey, she rang up the registry office and booked their nuptials. The loved up couple have planned their scaled back and intimate wedding in just 10 weeks and will officially say 'I do' this month. Fans flooded them with well-wishes, as one replied: 'The whole way through this video the way Helen looks at at chet is just everything. You pair are just life.' A second posted: 'My people mannnn! Congrats I'm so happy for yous.' 'This is keeping it as real as it comes! The common sense to marry for YOU… nobody else! It's so refreshing to see a woman not want a huge fuss. It's perfect y and I wish you many years of happiness together! I fore you guys,' said a third. In a candid admission, they said they 'couldn't justify' dishing out £60,000 for a 'fairytale' wedding and will do their big day in their own style, with a small ceremony with close family and friends including a roast dinner, followed by a larger party that night. Helen said her mindset towards marriage shifted when she started getting 'the ick' when it came to filling out documents and she had a separate name to her children and Chet. However, the pair have hinted they'll have a bigger do further down the line when their children are old enough to experience the day with them. Chet said: 'We want all our kids to be there, so I feel like this won't be the end wedding. In 10 years we're probably going to do it again.' Helen added: 'Probably a blessing, because I always said I wanted all my children to be at the wedding and my youngest one to be especially like three or five years old so they all know what's happening.' The couple welcomed their first child, daughter Ocean, on 11th November 2019 after Helen endured a 22-hour labour. They then had son Elvis a year later, on 27th December 2020, while they then welcomed their third child together, daughter Peach, in December 2022. Helen gave birth to their fourth child, baby Honey, on June 4 via C-section, a day before her due date. In July 2023, Helen announced she had split from Chet and accused him of cheating on her in an explosive statement. She took to her Instagram stories to announce that she has broken up with Chet after eight years together. In a statement confirming their split, Helen claimed that she had put up with 'endless' cheating allegations during their romance as she detailed why they had split. She claimed she had seen 'evidence' that Chet cheated on her and described the alleged incident as the 'final straw'. However, the pair patched up their differences later that year, with Helen revealing on Instagram that allegations turned out to be untrue. In an Instagram Q&A with fans, she shared: 'Chet and I are back together. We went through hell and back this summer over an allegation which didn't turn out to be true. 'I jumped the gun and put a statement without even reading between the lines.

Newlyweds Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez invite Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria onto their $485m superyacht for a double date on the high seas
Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez enjoyed an A-list double date on Sunday as they welcomed Leonardo DiCaprio and Vittoria aboard their $485m superyacht, Koru. Hollywood actor Leo, 50, and his modal girlfriend Vittoria, 27, know their way around the ship, having previously joined the couple and bevy of stars for a trip last summer. The double date comes just weeks after Jeff, 61, and Lauren, 55, tied the knot in Venice — with the ceremony attracting criticism for its extravagance. Leonardo and Vittoria were among the A-list guests in attendance, which also included Sydney Sweeney, Oprah Winfrey and Orlando Bloom. Now Lauren wears a $5 million diamond wedding ring that has fans as well as jewelers in an uproar. One of their A-list wedding guests recently revealed what their lavish nuptials were really like as they disclosed that none of the Bezos couple's 200 guests were told to sign non-disclosure agreements. Sara Foster, the daughter of David Foster, shared details about the glamorous Venetian wedding on Thursday's episode of her The World's First Podcast. While talking to her sister Erin Foster, she surprisingly revealed: 'No one signed NDAs. No NDAs.' She also said that the ceremony was 'very intimate' when asked to dish on the 'wedding of the century.' 'There's nothing. It's so interesting how the optics were this over-the-top, you know, protestors ... It's just not, it's not what it was. It actually felt very intimate.' She also revealed that there were 'definitely a lot of people that were not photographed' but chose to keep mum on the identities of the low-key attendees. 'I can't. I mean, that's, like, so lame. I'm not gonna do that. But it's very interesting how many people went un-photographed. It was definitely a very interesting setup.' Bezos' superyacht is named the Koru, which translates to 'new beginnings' in Maori, according to The Independent. The Amazon founder initially commissioned the construction of the vessel for $485 million in 2018, and it took almost five years to build. The Koru has three decks and is 250-feet tall, marking the world's tallest sailing yacht. Boat International reported in April 2023 that it has a trio of masts that measure at a distance eclipsing 230 feet. It measures at a width of 416 feet, only one of four yachts globally that eclipses the length of 328 feet. The vessel was made by the Dutch company Oceano. The boat was the topic of controversy in February 2022 when Oceano asked Rotterdam to take apart a bridge that is more than 100 years old, the Koningshaven Bridge, to accommodate the masts of the Koru. Amid local protests, Oceanco made alternate plans to install the masts.
