Locking Knees

ITs when ur standing up there in the church and ur so tense you put all your weight on ur knees which causes them to lock and it can also make you pass out,

OMG... really? I did not know this. But I also can see why someone would be that tense to lock their knees.

I thought someone was going to say because it makes your butt stick out! lol

At my cousins wedding, one of the groomsmen locked his knees and passed out in the middle of the ceremony. Remind everyone in your bridal party not to lock their knees.

At least the videos i have seen of this its normally a groom or bestman that does this.. but yep it happens..lol

When you lock your knees, its reduces blood flow to your brain eventually casuing you to become light headed and evetually passing out. keep yur knees slightly bent and shift your weight often to avoid this. and if you feel like your going to pass out, sit down. its much less embaressing to sit down then to actually pass out.

This will be my second wedding and I have never heard of this. Thank you very much for the information.

OMG my friend gave me this advice right before the ceremony and it was crucial!!! Make sure you don't lock your knees! At one point I found that I had done it and was starting to feel light-headed so I unlocked them.

I've never heard this before! Oh, now I have another thing to worry about on my wedding day.

I will definately have to keep this mind. Definately don't want to be passing out that day. Thanks for the tips!

Scary..

Wow I never knew this! Good thing I found out now =)

@Carmen---HILARIOUS!!! I needed that laugh to start my day!!!

I agree Lenora...

And this is my second wedding!!!

FH better not make me mad before the wedding. I just might tell him, he HAS to lock his knees or he might faint! lol

Just kidding.

OMG Julybride... im so sorry.. but all i could do was laugh... you poor thing...

Ive seen that video so many times but I still laugh so hard I cry... I can only imagine all 6'10" of my FH doing that... LOL oh my..

It's a very common problem when I was in the Navy during bootcamp several people dropped right on the parade grounds from locking their knees. Relax and breathe that's my plan but I'll probably pass out from excitement
