I was at a wedding once where the father of the Kalla collpased at the Mitzvah Tantz and died of a heart attack on the spot!”
This happened to a former neighbor of mine. Her father was niftar suddenly right after the chuppah. It unfortunately does happen R”L, and there are worse things, like the bride and groom who were killed in a car crash driving to their reception (held in a different place from the ceremony).
Worse yet was the Kallah in E”Y who was killed by a homicide bomber the day before her wedding was to take place (was her name Nava Appelbaum O”H?)as she sat with her father at a cafe having some quality father-daughter time.
Kind of puts the messed up dress issue in perspective. Sorry you injured your ankle, though. My husband did that at our son’s wedding. Refuah shelaima.
