Pastor dies at wedding ceremony

MUNICH, Germany, Sept. 26 (UPI) -- Guests at a wedding in Germany said they were stunned when the minister performing the ceremony died just before the bride and groom could say "I do."

"It was like something out of a movie," organist Andrea Wittmann told The Local.de.

Grzegorz Wieczorek, 47, was reciting a prayer when he stopped mid-sentence and collapsed at the altar, hitting his head on the stone floor of the St. Lambert church in southern Bavaria.
 
Panicked guests tried to help him while Wittmann summoned an ambulance.

The bride and her Italian groom were married several hours later at another church.
