‘We didn’t have planned choreography… maybe we should have,’ Julie joked. 

‘Immediately, I knew what was going on. I was in this dip and said to Paul, “I just dislocated my knee.” 

‘He went right into like, caretaker mode and we found this chair and everybody swooped in to help. 

‘We had doctors that were guests, nurses that were guests. I was kind of in shock and my knee was just being held in place.’

Julie and her husband say they tried to make the best of the situation. They were discharged at 10.30pm and returned to the wedding venue

Julie’s left leg was put in a cast. She’s expected to fully recover in four to six weeks

They insisted their guests stay at the wedding reception and enjoy the day, and texted them updates from the hospital.

‘We got back just in time for the last song. I was on a lot of different meds… we got discharged at 10.30pm. Then we left.’ 

The bride’s mother then stayed with them in their wedding suite on a pull-out couch because the groom was nervous about how many medications she’d been given. 

‘We’re making light of it now,’ Julie joked.
