Imagine your wedding is going ahead on schedule and then you have an unexpected guest. Seems somewhat normal, right? Well, not for this unlucky couple, who were surprised by a bear at their wedding!
Sarina Thompson and Cory Alan Brewer had the shock of their lives when a massive black bear stumbled onto their wedding in the Great Smoky Mountains of Gatlinburg, Tennessee mid photoshoot. Luckily, their photographer, Leah McMahan Edmondson, was on hand to capture it all.
“I had the bride and groom with me starting to shoot when we all noticed this bear,” photographer Leah McMahan told The New York Post. “He turned and started down the aisle. Being scared didn’t cross my mind, I just wanted ‘the shot’.”
The bear then made a huffing noise and started coming toward them, at which point Leah began to panic.
“He jacked my heart rate up to Jesus,” she said.
Luckily no one was injured.
They say a picture says a thousand words. Well, these photographs definitely tell an interesting story!
