The groom should've just jumped into the pool as well, seeing as the bride and priest were in there already.

I don't think so. It's hard to imagine going through all of that for a youtube clip. Matching bridesmaids dresses, groomsmen, band in the background etc and the guy takes a pretty hard fall. Looks like he was busy checking out the hottie in yellow and ...

That priest is SINNING! Frolicking with a virgin in the waters of wickedness!!!

If you play it back slowly, the best man trips, the groom tries to help him, the bride falls, the priest tries to catch her but goes in too, then the groom tries to grab the priests hand. Seems real to me.

Yeah, I hear ya, but a lot of people watch videos here without even opening them in a separate tab, their own window, whatever. It's a big reason why dupes sit here for a long time (people see the video but not the comments). The tags are visible though no matter where you view it.

the sound is too good. you can hear EVERYTHING. When the guy faceplants he lands then grabs at the brides feet and she falls from that? Doesnt seem likely. And the priest doesnt look like he would fall either from that. He grabs the bride and goes down w/ her when it looks like neither one received enough knock back to even stumble.

Quboid (http://www.videosift.com/member/Quboid) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 10:28:31 -0700

Too much fail to be fake IMHO, you wouldn't fake something that epic. I tend to give videos the benefit of the doubt. As for the camera work, well it's probably a professional wedding video photographer. You could hear some laughing and I expect plenty more followed once it was clear they were OK.

*walks to door*

Just one more thing ... I think the bride reacts to the falling "best" man and without thinking, steps back, taking the priest, who automatically tried to catch her, into the pool.

That mistake grinds my tuna as well. I especially hate when people get into an accident say the cop was going to charge them with "driving with undue care and attention" which means they were TOO FUCKING CAREFUL. It's "driving withOUT DUE care and attention", ffs.

the fall seems fake and all the 'oh my god' chanting seemed insincere. the footage seemed intentionally grainy and shaky, which struck me as odd given the overall expensive look of the setting.

Fake. Pause it right when he falls. They aren't pushed in, they jump in.

I reckon it's not fake, because of the swearing. Lots of "Jesus" and "oh my god". Somehow makes me think this wasn't initially intended for wider dissemination.

By Deano

Deano (http://deano.videosift.com) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 16:14:32 -0700

The falls look real to me if only because it's so easy for people to lose balance and footing if they're panicking or anticipating a collision.

On the other hand who the hell puts the ceremony on some board atop the edge of a swimming pool?

I'm undecided.

By ShakaUVM

ShakaUVM (http://www.videosift.com/member/ShakaUVM) — Sat, 11 Oct 2008 17:21:32 -0700

Hmm, could be real. The best man's foot (probably not used to formal shoes) slipped on the step, he bounced into her legs, the pastor bent over to help him, with his arms around the bride, she fell backwards and in. The sound of shock is pretty real too.

That said, the hesitation on the part of the best man, and the fact that it pans out to look at him before it's his turn to act means it could be a fake as well.

I'm getting married in 3 weeks. Remind me to not do it right next to the pool.

There's several bridesmaids that come into view after the splash. With matching dresses. It's probably the first time this guy wore something besides a pair of flip flops. He was nervous, occupied with the hot lady on the left, and slipped. And I doubt it was done as a joke at the end of a real wedding. What new bride would risk ruining her wedding dress?
I don't think the person who put this on YouTube had any intention for it to spread all over. He had embedding disabled, but someone else captured it and hosted it.

No, it really does matter.

Things like this are hugely different in humour etc. if they are real vs. setup. If setup then you can go 'oh, someone had the idea this would be funny and spent ages setting it all up etc.'. If real then you could go 'Oh geeze, that's kinda funny, but horrible at the same time, my god she had to be mighty pissed off with that'.

It DOES matter, if you get to the point where you don't give a fuck whether what you watch is real or not... then quite frankly stop bothering to vote, become a mass consumer and stay out of any important decisions on anything because you apparently don't care about reality anymore, and are more than happy to be fed bullshit from anyone.

You know, as long as you're entertained, then it's all hunky dory for you.
