Groom's shocking reaction to his 'beautiful bride' at the altar goes viral
A jittery groom shockingly fainted at the altar during his wedding ceremony in a frightening moment that was caught on video.
A clip of the scary incident shows Gustavo Schmitz, 23, standing with his bride-to-be Pamela Berto Schmitz, 25, while exchanging vows at the nuptials in Santa Catarina, Brazil on Saturday.
The couple was waiting to say 'I do' when Gustavo suddenly started swaying.
The overcome groom was then seen toppling backwards as the pastor rushed forward in a desperate attempt to save him.
Guests immediately rushed to the groom's side before one of his friends, a doctor, provided assistance and allowed the wedding to continue.
Gustavo blamed the fainting spell on normal wedding-day jitters - as well as the emotion of seeing his gorgeous bride at the altar.
'I suffer a lot from anxiety, I take medication,' Gustavo said in interview with Brazilian news outlet NSC.
'Then, combined with that, the rush, not having eaten almost anything during the day and, mainly, seeing my fiancée looking beautiful the way she was.'
Video of the incident has generated millions of views on social media, prompting the couple to respond to all of the attention.
'We're fine, married and happy, it was just a big scare,' Pamela wrote in a Facebook post.
Gustavo did not have any recollection of the fall but was reminded by Pamela that he had mentioned at the altar that he was not feeling well.
However, Pamela didn't not take him seriously because he is a known prankster.
'I always say that if it's not going to cause trouble, I won't even leave the house,' Gustavo joked.

Matheus Cunha poses with Brazil icons after £62.5m Man United unveiling - as forward cosies up to midfield legend
Matheus Cunha posed with a series of Brazil legends on the same day he was officially unveiled as a Manchester United player. Mail Sport exclusively revealed that Cunha had completed his move to the 20-time champions of English football at the start of June, and the club have now shared snaps of the striker in their new kit for the very first time. Cunha, 26, passed his medical last month and is United's first statement of intent in a big summer as they seek to rebuild under Ruben Amorim. The Brazilian, who netted 33 times in 92 appearances for Wolves, has spoken of his joy to be moving to a club he has adored since his younger years. And, now, he has posed alongside Brazil icons past and present, appearing in good spirits as he cosied up alongside one particular legend. It was that legend who shared the photo, too. Cunha was seen with none other than Ronaldinho's arm around him, all smiles after becoming a United player. Ronaldinho, who made 97 appearances for Brazil, scoring 33 goals, shared a snap to his 77.3 Instagram followers, accompanied by two other Brazil stars - one past and one present. In terms of the past, it was Ronaldo who was also in attendance, putting his hand on Ronaldinho as he posed for the photo. On the other side of Cunha, who has been on international duty with Brazil, meanwhile, was his current team-mate - Vinicius Jr. Cunha has played 15 times for Brazil, scoring once, and lined up alongside Vinicius Jr in the most recent break. Ronaldo played 98 matches for his country, scoring 62 goals, while Vinicius Jr of Real Madrid is currently on seven goals from 41 games. 'It is hard to put into words my feelings about becoming a Manchester United player,' Cunha, meanwhile, told the club website upon signing his deal at Old Trafford. 'Ever since I was a child in Brazil watching Premier League games on TV at my grandmother's house, United was my favourite English team and I dreamed of wearing the red shirt. I want to thank my family and everyone who has helped me make that dream a reality. 'I can't wait for the start of pre-season to get to know my teammates and prepare for the season ahead. All my focus is now on working hard to become a valuable part of the team, and helping get this club back to the top.'

In one of his regular exchanges with fans online, Liam said Guinness isn't fuelling the practice sessions, writing: 'We're professionals. "No time for drinking.' A source close to the Gallaghers told us: 'Liam drinks tea to help warm up his vocal chords. 'He feels really fresh and they're excited to get going.
