“My sister passed out at the exact moment the judge said ‘you may kiss the bride, ‘” Ryan captioned the photo. “I first thought she’d tripped over something, so I stifled a laugh”.
Instead, the bridesmaid, 16-year-old Grace Ryan, had fallen victim to the blistering heat of a July day in Chicago inside a venue that had floor-to-ceiling windows.
Something tells me this photo is going to be a family favorite in the wedding album for the rest of her life! “We’d all been standing in the sun doing pictures….”
Grace got back on her feet, though a little shaky, and the show went on after she was taken to the bridal party room for something to eat and drink. And for one happy couple, the most lasting memory of their wedding will likely be this photo of the groom’s sister just passing the hell out when the couple kissed for the first time.
The awkward moment, captured by photographer Sean Cook, was shared by the groom himself, Ryan, on Imgur and has gone on to generate over two million views.

The sister, who shall forever remain nameless in the media, was fine a few minutes later, but, understandably, very embarrassed.
