Bridegroom trips, falls on beer glass at wedding, bleeds to death
RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) - Media reports say a Brazilian bridegroom bled to death at his wedding reception when he tripped and fell on an empty glass of beer.
The G1 news website says the freak accident occurred early Monday morning some six hours after navy sergeant Fabio Jefferson dos Santos Maciel and Geise Guimaraes tied the knot.
Citing wedding guests, G1 says Maciel was dancing with one of the bridesmaids when he lost his balance and fell to the ground shattering the glass he was carrying in his left pants pocket.
G1 says a piece of glass severed his femoral vein, causing a massive loss of blood.
He died shortly after being rushed to a nearby hospital.

Apparently, it wasn't meant to be.
They should have consulted the Oracle.
And when your fears subside, and shadows still remain, Â
know that you can love me, when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness we still can find a way
Nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain
