A bride from Kent has spoken of her embarrassment after ending her wedding night in an ambulance after drinking on an empty stomach. Danielle Crowther, 31, from Whitstable, had married Lewis at Canterbury Register Office before the reception at which she collapsed and needed medical attention.
The stay-at-home mum said she had been unable to eat due to stress and anxiety, and was repeatedly handed drinks by guests. After mixing several alcoholic drinks, she became unresponsive and her new husband dialled 999. Paramedics carried her out of the venue in her white wedding gown.
Danielle told how she had sat down next to her young son and 'just went'. She said it was the 'drunkest' she had ever been and that she had no memory of the incident. Paramedics concluded she was intoxicated and she was not taken to hospital.
A video of the unconscious bride being lifted into an ambulance has since gone viral, racking up nearly 50,000 views. Commenters described it as 'legendary' and 'a sign of a good wedding'. Danielle said that although she felt embarrassed at first, she can now see the funny side and that it did not ruin the day.
She now advises other brides to make sure they eat before drinking, saying wedding stress had prevented her from doing so. Her husband reportedly found the ordeal amusing, having also enjoyed a few drinks himself.
