A bride and groom celebrating their marriage in Cornwall England decided to go out for a short surf during their wedding reception at a bar on the beach at Porthtowan, but neither of them were ready for the conditions according to a story from the BBC.
His wife joined him for a dip and the pair got caught in a rip current. . . Off-duty lifeguards raced to the sea and rescued the bride, who ended up on some rocks, before saving her husband. . . the groom was caught in a really strong rip current and was being dragged around the corner of the headland, which at high tide is “no-man’s land”. . . “He was in a fair bit of trouble and had also abandoned his board, which was his only flotation device,” the lifeguard added.
It took lifeguards and some other surfers nearly an hour to paddle the groom back to his reception. Hopefully, the couple is a little better at marriage than they are at surfing. . .
