Pastor drops dead mid-wedding, bride and groom ignore terrible omen

9/26/2012

No pre-wedding checklist could prepare you for this. The nuptials of a couple at a Bavarian monastery in Germany came to an abrupt halt when the pastor dropped dead while reciting a prayer. Grzegorz Wieczorek, 47, collapsed at the altar before the wedding vows, but the traumatized couple were still unmarried and didn't want to reschedule on account of the 100 guests in attendance who had travelled far and wide to attend. They arranged for another pastor to marry them in a local church a few hours later, after offering up a prayer for the recently departed. [Source]
