Well, she did try to make the best of the situation. This North Carolina bride replaced her groom with a stick version of himself after he contracted severe food poisoning near the day of their wedding.
The bride, Christine Karmire, turned up with a mannequin version of her groom, Gannon Karmire, who was recovering in the hospital. The staff at The Victorian in Youngsville made the suggestion instead of letting the couple cancel their nuptials altogether. Stick Gannon is basically ‘a rolling steamer with pool cues that was dressed in a suit, with Gannon's smiling face mounted at the top on an iPad,’ People magazine wrote.
"We do believe that with the hand we were dealt, it could not have gone any better than it did," she said. "We still felt loved and celebrated by everyone and are so appreciative of their support."
