(TheBlaze/AP) — Media reports say a 33-year-old Brazilian bridegroom bled to death at his wedding reception when he tripped and fell on an empty glass of beer.

The G1 news website says the freak accident occurred early Monday morning some six hours after navy sergeant Fabio Jefferson dos Santos Maciel and Geise Guimaraes tied the knot.

The Telegraph has more detail:

Mr Maciel was playing with a young bridesmaid at about 2am on Monday morning when he tripped and fell.

A beer glass he had put in his trouser pocket broke and pierced his femoral vein – a major artery in the top of the leg – causing rapid and irretrievable blood loss.

[...]

A friend of the couple said Mr Maciel’s widow was in tears and could not believe her husband was gone.

Fabiana Sena, 31, told a newspaper: “She just cries and says ‘I want my husband back’. Nobody can believe what happened, and even less the way it happened.”

Maciel had been practicing his vows for months, the Telegraph adds, and had recently finished constructing a home for his new bride.

      Ouch! That is bad taste:(

      Nevertheless; our days are numbered, and we don’t know which will be our last. This should cause one to ask: “Am I ready if this is my last day?”

      We then, as workers together with Him also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. 2 For He says:

      “In an acceptable time I have heard you,
      And in the day of salvation I have helped you.”[a]
      Behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.

    What an unbelievable story! I wonder if something was lost in the translation, as in “playing with a young bridesmaid” which clearly takes us down a weird path as stated in English. Perhaps in Spanish it was “frolicking” or “partying” or “horsing around”.

    The older I get, the more cautious I get. The more kids I take care of, the more I have “seeing around corners” eyesight – a necessary skill with children of all ages. The glass in the pocket – oh my that’s just plain poor judgment but when you are drinking, and happy, and maybe the caterer doesn’t have an ample supply of fresh glasses and you don’t want to misplace your own glass then this is what you do. Or at least this is what HE did.

    The artery referred to is actually imbedded within the torso/hip joint at approximately pocket level just above the leg. It runs down the leg, but if he severed the artery in an upward direction – if the glass sliced upward into the torso – you could not tie it off.

    What a tragedy. God bless that traumatized bride. Post traumatic stress syndrome is a guaranteed outcome for her. I hope she finds help and peace.

      I believe “playing with a young bridesmaid” would be translated into English as “horsing around”. You have to take these things into account when something is being translated from another language. – By the way, it’s being translated from Portuguese not Spanish. – Chances are he had just finished his drink, started to “play with the young bridesmaid”, had nowhere to put his glass down, so he put it in his pocket. I agree it was not a wise thing to do, but I’m sure if he would have thought that this freak accident was going to happen, he would have taken time to put it down somewhere safe. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.

    I am shocked at some of the remarks on this story.. how can people make light of a very sad story. What if his widow were a daily reader of the Blaze.. what is wrong with the humanity of man that they make jokes about this young man who died so tragically? What if it were your brother, your cousin or your best friend even. I feel very sad for this young woman and all family. But I really feel sorry for the people who come on the Blaze and think its funny.. I ask, “what has our fellowmen become”!

    femoral vein or artery? I am sure somebody had a belt they could have stopped the bleeding with.

      Yeah! Vein OR artery? I caught that too. As far as stopping it with a belt goes, depends on how high up it was cut. I tried to do that on a guy in Iraq but it was cut too high up in the inguinal area (the groin) to be effective. Eventually used a Chitosan dressing made out of shrimp shells. It saved his life, but he lost his leg.

    “Media reports say a 33-year-old Brazilian bridegroom bled to death at his wedding reception when he tripped and fell on an empty glass of beer.” ~~~ If the ‘glass’ is empty how can it be a ‘glass of beer’?

    The bleeding could have been stopped if someone pluged the artery with his/her finger.

      This is the first thing that went through my mind. I thought the place where it would occur would be Arkansas or Georgia; Honey Boo Boo country. Rednecks seem to die in the strangest ways.

      Amen to that.
      I feel so sorry for that familly.
      Yes, very very odd to put a GLASS in your pocket. Never heard of that before….
      Perhaps the bride wondered….are you happy to see me or is that a glass in your pocket.
      Oh, yeah, it was a BEER glass, not a shot glass.
      Forgive me. This is so bizzare that I’m trying to break the sadness w/humor.
      I’m one of those people who laughs while waiting in the emergency room because I get so nervous.
