We always try to get the perfect photo. Especially on our wedding days. This couple almost died trying to get theirs. It happened in California after a couple had to be rescued by lifeguards after being swept into the ocean by a crashing wave. It happened at Treasure Island Beach in Laguna Beach when the bride and groom were posing near the water and a wave came crashing in knocking them down. The footage skips over the couple getting pulled into the water, but picks back up with the bride — in her white dress — being taken back to shore by lifeguards. Both the bride and groom were okay.
