A newlywed couple from Louisiana recently opened up about the nightmarish situation that occurred at their wedding last year.
Breaux Bridge resident Katherine Franks, 28, told her story in a TikTok video that has been viewed more than 500,000 times. She and her husband Alex Franks met on Hinge in 2022 and tied the knot in July 2023.
Franks, who works as a speech therapist, explained that the 100-degree heat made her sore just after saying “I do” on her special day.

“We just said ‘I do’ and waited for the final prayer, so I think we were officially married. [But] We stood there for about 40 minutes. ”
The groom soon realized that the bride was not feeling well as she was suffering from dizziness.
“My husband knew something was wrong and kept looking at me,” the wife said. “I started having tunnel vision and getting really lightheaded.”
