1. They either eat a lot or eat nothing
2. Various reasons: Did not eat all day, standing a long time with locked knees, anxiety over being in front of a crowd.
3. Not eating, nerves, stress, fear, heat, and more! Be sure to eat something light before the ceremony, have some friends around to keep your calm, DELIGATE have someone a wedding planner or family memeber to kind of take over some of the activities so you DO NOT STRESS! Be sure this is what you want and AIR CONDITION or a fan something to keep you cool and chilled out!
4. Actually the primary cause is standing with your feet together and knees locked. This causes poor circulation, and then the stress and excitement of the whole day makes it worse, so it causes blood to not circulate to the brain and you pass out. Any chorale student knows never stand with your feet together and knees locked!
5. well it could be stress and lack of circulation or as a couple of my friends just told me: she's pregnant! It's a possibility.
6. Usually when a person in/during ceremony faints, they are very nervous, panicky and have anxiety. They are usually taking in short, fast deep breaths and this reduces the amount of carbon dixode in your blood, therefore causing constriction of blood levels, preventing the transport of oxygen necessary for the function of the nervous system. This is called hyperventilation. Simply, they are scared to beegibies, breathing slow and shallow, not taking in enough carbon dixode, decreases oxygen level and pass out. Just nerves.
7. The last few days before a wedding can be stressful and hectic on anyone involved. So people tend to be sleep deprived and malnourished when the big moment comes. Add that along to the stresses of the big day, and it just all takes a toll on your body. that's why it is important to take time from the last minute details to actually eat right, and sleep at night, even though it sounds impossible.
8. Weddings are very emotional events and that gets to some people. Combine this with the fact that many people do not eat before a wedding and there is a long wait until food is served at the reception and you get low blood sugar combined with heighten emotions and you get fainting. Sometimes the heat will take people out. My sister got married on a hot day in July and two of her brides maids fainted. Not drinking enough water can also be a cause and some folk are just way more dramatic than others
9. Most of those are catholic ceremonies and those are an entire mass, and they lock their knees leaving them faint
10. My fiance says he's going to pass out at church -___- xD
