Michigan wedding party makes a real splash

The bride, groom and their entire wedding party were posing for photographs Saturday when a dock gave way and they plunged into Gun Lake near Shelbyville, Mich.

It happened at Bay Pointe Inn at the wedding reception for Eric Walber and Maegan McKee Walber of Bryon Center,WoodTV Channel 8 reports on its website.

The bride and groom shared their experience with 24 Hour News 8 over the phone on Saturday afternoon as they headed to their honeymoon on Mackinac Island.

The wedding party had just finished eating dinner between 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. when the photographer told them that if they wanted photos on the lake, now was the time to have them taken.

“We were out there for probably 30 seconds, standing on the dock, and it started to lean and tilt,” groom Eric told 24 Hour News 8. “We went right under.”

Now it’s a YouTube sensation.
