Its mainly stress which makes them not eat enough in the days near to the weddin day so they could become hypoglycemic. (law glucose levels in the blood esp to the brain) esp when standing up. I had my cousin who was too anxious prior to the weddn n she wasnt eatn n she collapsed when tryn on her gown, on d weddn day she was just shakin n we were worried she didnt pass out on that day.. thank Goodness. i hav bn a bridesmaid several times n i have never fainted despite the long standing. (prob becoz i eact enough before d weddn).

I've been to lots of weddings. It's been one a year lately. Ive never collapsed and I've never seen any one collapse.

Well, in some countries, it's because they shoot guns into the air to celebrate the wedding, then the bullets come back down, killing folks.

locking your knees is probably the most common reason
but i've also seen some people way hung over from partying way too hard the night before who looked like they would pass out at any minute.

They are under an enormous amount of stress, especially since the have to realize that they have made the decision to spend the rest of their lives with this one person.

It's what's called a vasovagal response. You have a sudden drop in blood pressure, and passing out allows your body to keep pumping blood so you don't die (that's why you should NOT hold somebody up who is passing out, just catch them and ease their fall).

Stress, excitement, exhaustion, and standing around in tight clothes with their knees locked.

probably becuase they're nervous. I would probably PASS OUT if I had a wedding!

The bride would cuz of her nerves. maybe the groom would also. Anyone else would be at the reception cuz they drank to much.

They lock their knees up. You need to relax your legs, or you'll faint. Nerves also contribute.
