Big life-changing moments like getting engaged or married often come with little hiccups, because the pressure is on. Of course, we're only human, and things happen, but occasionally a clumsy moment can lead to a very unfortunate loss.
Trent and Alena Gale Smith thought they were cutting out most of the drama that accompanies weddings by eloping on a small sail boat off of Charleston, South Carolina. "Our wedding wasn’t about inviting or pleasing anybody… It was just about focusing on the person you love," said the bride to Buzzfeed.
The wedding took place on Aug. 9 with just five people present, the bride and groom, the groom's best friend and officiant, their photographer, Sarah Wallace, and the boat's owner and captain, Billy Haynie. They set sail, and the couple, casually but elegantly dressed, looked forward to the intimate moment where they would say "I Do" with the sea as their witness.

The ceremony got underway at sunset. Everything was going according to plan when the wind started to pick up a bit. Trent had the ring in a little jewelry pouch, but as he went to get it out, a gust of wind caught the pouch, and it flew into the water. Everyone was stunned. The bride screamed for someone to grab a net, but before anyone could, her groom-to-be was in the water.
The photographer Sarah Wallace told Buzzfeed, "we watched it hit the water. Trent tried to reach for it, but we were several feet from the water, so he just dove in. it was very fast and very shocking." After that, I'd say Trent wins the groom of the week award
