Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
If it was my dad...i'd continue and tell him "i'll call you when we're done"
If it was my mom...she would want me to continue but I would have a hard time getting through it.
happy to hear she's OK

Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
Wow, TOUGH choice. She fainted. It's warm. I wouldn't say it's life threatening just on what you wrote. I don't think I would have gone to the reception if she was staying in the hospital, but I don't think I'd interrupt the ceremony. I would want to be married. I would have had the priest hurry it up.
Did anyone go with the mom to the hospital?

Same thoughts here.

Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
Fainting, I would have gone on. Serious medical issue, I would get married but would have a hard time going to the reception. I would probably continue on for my guests' sake more than anything else but would need to end early.
My friend's dad had a stroke at his brother's wedding (he survived without too much damage). They continued their wedding too, but it was difficult. There was no question the dad wanted them to continue & that's what they did.

I would have continued with the ceremony and probably gone to the hospital right after.

Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
Fainting from heat- I would go on with the ceremony. Chances are she would get to the hospital & by the time I'd get there she would be released. If it was something life threatning, thats a totally different situation.

Unbeknownest (sp?) to DH and I, my FIL was really sick the day we got married, if he had stood during the ceremony he probably would have passed out too (It was like 98 degrees last year), so much so that he went to the hospital the next morning.
ET: can't get it out of the italics I don't know what I did!

Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
That's a tough one. I think it depended alot on what the paramedics said. Most likely I would continue but you never know until your in that situation.

Do you remember my mom nearly passing out during my wedding? I think she did pass out but came to quickly. It was warm inside the church, but not that warm (it was 11/1 but happened to be 75 degrees that day), but she luckily recovered quickly w/o much of a scene. Had she been taken to the hospital, I think I would have been very torn, but I probably would have wanted to finish up the ceremony, go to the hospital and make sure she was okay, forego the time I had alloted for pictures and gone to the reception late.

Of course I did, but that was your story to tell. Not mine. And you did the right thing.

Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
I would have finished the ceremony and sent one of my brothers along...would have checked afterwards to see how they were doing, if it was heat stroke kind of thing I would have continued on with my day, if it was something else I would have made my way to the hospital between the ceremony and reception...

I would have continued on with the wedding but I would have been on the phone calling the hospital as soon as we finished the I DO's.

This is what I was going to say, it really depends on the situation. I know my mom would want me to continue on with the ceremony, I would've sent one of my brothers to be with her. Afterwards I'd call the hospital and make the decision at that time whether I should go there or the reception.
I know this isn't a laughing matter but I've got an image of all us ladies in our wedding gowns running franticly to the ER. What a sight that would be!!

Re: If it were your wedding day, and a parent fainted, WWYD?
My aunt fainted as I was about to come down the aisle at my wedding.. I stalled the wedding while the paramedics assessed her and she wanted to stay specifically b/c she knew that I would be worried and would want to go with her to the hospital... I am in the healthcare field, so obviously I wanted to help also. It ended up being fine, but I wasn't happy with the way my reception hall handling it by pushing me away from her, so I wouldn't cry more and ruin my makeup

Me too. I'd tell the guests to continue to the reception and have the priest marry us there after my mom was back w/ me (or my dad, or DH's mom or dad for that matter). I'd never want our parents to miss our wedding, when they could've been there.
