You know that adorably romantic tradition of the groom carrying the bride over the threshold after their wedding? Well, slow down, kids. Because if you rush it, you could end up doing what this couple did on their way to the reception. Look what happens when groom Chad Kannard tries to sweep his bride, Julia Magdaleno, off her feet. It's positively painful to watch!
See this video on The Stir by CafeMom.
Oh, Chad! You dropped your bride! I wonder which hurts more -- Julia's back or Chad's ego? Ouch.
But you've got to hand it to the couple; they handled the spill well. Kannard picked his wife back up and kept going. She didn't get angry and whack him upside the head. She's still in there, holding her bouquet aloft. (She never even dropped it!) And wasn't his enthusiastic sprint inspiring -- even if ill-advised?

Magdaleno says the fall cut her forearm, and she didn't even notice she was bleeding until her husband pointed it out. He was bleeding, too. You don't see her face clearly in the video, but she later told ABC News that she thought it was hilarious.
I was like 'Go figure.' I’m so type A where I need to, like, make sure everything’s planned out and this one moment where I just let it go, what you think would be the worst thing possible happened, but I got up and I was laughing so hard. I thought it was, like, the best thing that’s ever happened.
You guys. This is the PERFECT metaphor for marriage. Because you are going to make mistakes together. You're going to stumble over roadblocks in your path. And you're going to get hurt sometimes. What matters most is how you recover and keep going. You've got to keep your sense of humor and remember that you're a team. That's what the couples who make it do.
I think this pair of newlyweds are going to be just fine. And you know who will love watching this video over and over again? Their future kids -- if they have them! What a funny memory.
What would you do if this had happened to you?
