Ok, I can't see where on Snopes it's shown as a fake. I searched the whole "wedding" section. Can you show me a link.

Given all the things I've seen at weddings over the last 15 years, I"m inclined to say it's not a fake - the video part looks pretty real. Unless it was staged? I dunno.

Even if this one was staged, I guarantee that some bride somewhere has fallen into a pool in her dress (not intentionally). I've seen too much craziness to say that it couldn't have happened.

The poor bride! Though I did one worse when I was a flower girl... I puked on the bride in the middle of the cerimony. It wasn't pretty, but she handled it pretty well. It's funny though, I was never asked to be a flower girl again...

Doh, it was in the forums. I read it last week, I would have to dig around for it!

Eh. No biggie. I tend to cross reference most of what I see on the web with Snopes, so I was suprised not to find it in their online list.

I didn't know snopes had a forum! I found the thread and many people think its fake but no one really knows.

Yeah, I was just reading the thread. Some of the reasons for believing it's fake are making me laugh out loud.

Most of the weddings that I photograph where there is also a videographer, the groom and the minister are mic'd for the video. Also the videogs I tend to work with are pretty high end (usually there are 2 or more cameras present) and the production quality is outstanding.

So "the video isn't bad enough to be real" comments are kind of cracking me up.

Like I said, given all the weddings I've photographed, I'd tend to believe this is true more than not. Even if *this* isn't true, I'd be willing to believe it has happened before to more than one bride.

I don't think she looks to happy about the whole thing. If it were staged I think there would have been a little more happening in the water besides "how do I get out of here".

[nelie]

yeah, if you were going to stage a bride being pushed into the water, wouldn't you add a bit of bridezilla to it? Also, the cameraperson has to navigate around people in his/her way. If it was staged, I'd think there would be a clear path for the camera.

I think I would of laughed. I think. Guess I'd have to be in the moment.
