At weddings, lifelong, cherished memories are forged, and where a few tears are often shed. Weddings are usually full of happiness and love.

Father-Daughter Dance Turns From Happy, Joyous to Scary and Frightening According to the Sarasota Herald-Tribune, Brad Carver and his daughter, Emily Alvarez, who had just gotten hitched, were celebrating the happy occasion with the traditional father-daughter dance when disaster struck.

However, despite the frightening moment, the good Lord appeared to put several things in the right place to save Brad's life. Several people in attendance, including the wedding photographer, were trained in CPR and other life-saving measures. Things Were In The Perfect Position To Save Brad’s Life After Brad tumbled to the floor, those guests quickly administered and applied life-saving maneuvers, including CPR and a defibrillator. Additionally, The Herald-Tribune points out that because the reception’s location was public, an AED defibrillator was required to be on site. If it had been private, there was a chance.

They kept Emily's big day from being a horrible, awful one she would never forget. Emily understands the outcome could have easily been much different. "Unfortunately, it happened on my wedding day, but fortunately, it happened on my wedding day because everyone lined up perfectly to save his life," Emily said in a video posted on Facebook.
