gave birth only minutes after
tying the knot at a townhall
wedding in western France,
making it more of a "big day"
than anticipated, the local mayor
told AFP Sunday.
"It did rather shake us up,"
admitted Jean-Robert Gachet,
mayor of Jallais, after hearing
that mother and baby were
doing well.
Saturday's ceremony at 11:00 am
was nearly called off after the
heavily pregnant bride had
several false alarms, although her
due date was July 14.
The bride was "definitely a bit
worn out, but we put that down
to the stress of the wedding. I
tried to hurry it up a bit so that
she didn't get too tired," said
Gachet.
But only moments after the
happy couple said their vows
and emerged outside to pose for
the traditional photos, while the
guests left for the reception, the
bride suddenly felt unwell and
went back into the townhall.
Emergency services were called,
but her waters had already
broken and she gave birth to a
little boy on the spot at 12:15
pm.
"The cry of the new born boy
was an emotional moment! It
was a first for us and for the
emergency services," Gachet said.
