KITCHENER, Canada — A groom left his bride alone on her wedding day, but before the internet gets into an uproar over it, it was for a good reason. He was saving the life of a boy who fell into the water.

Darren Hatt is a photographer who was taking photos of a bride at Victoria Park in Kitchener, Canada, CTV reported.

Hatt posted the photos of the dripping-wet groom on his Facebook page, telling Clayton Cook, "Well Done sir!"

He said that the bride, Brittany Ross Cook, yelled to her husband when she saw what was going on, and before the photographer realized what happened, groom Clayton Cook was already soaked, pulling the boy from the water.

The unidentified boy was reunited with his sister shortly after the ordeal, CTV reported.
