Bride Shatters Wrist Dancing, Powers Through Wedding
6 Jun
Summary
- Bride fractured her wrist in two places, dislocated the joint.
- She continued celebrating after falling on her granddaughter.
- Tequila was used as 'medicinal' pain relief during the reception.
Wendy Edgell, 51, experienced a severe wrist injury during her cowboy-themed wedding reception in November 2025. While line dancing, she tripped to avoid falling on her granddaughter, which resulted in a fractured wrist in two places, a dislocated joint, and a shattered bone. Despite the immediate and excruciating pain, Wendy refused to leave her own celebration.
Her husband, Laurence, fashioned a temporary sling for her. Wendy managed the discomfort with pain medication and several shots of tequila, describing the alcohol as 'medicinal.' She continued to dance and stayed until the reception concluded. The newlyweds then proceeded to an emergency room, spending their wedding night there.
Doctors informed Wendy that her wrist was severely damaged, necessitating surgery to insert a metal plate and screws. Although the injury impacted the wedding night, Wendy stated it did not significantly dampen the overall celebration, as she 'soldiered on' through the event.
