GROOM RESCUES SWIMMER AFTER WEDDING

ORANGE BEACH, ALA. A bridegroom has been credited with saving a struggling swimmer just moments after his beach wedding on the Gulf Coast last week.

Zac and Cindy Edwards had just gotten married at Orange Beach, Ala., and were taking wedding photos when a woman came up and said someone was struggling in the surf.

Zac Edwards, a former lifeguard and coast guard member, stripped off his shirt and went in after the swimmer. Edwards reached the person, but then had difficulty making it back to shore.

First responders showed up soon after and brought them both to safety. Both Edwards and the Mississippi high school student who was trapped in the currents are fine.

Edwards said all he could think about was his bride while in the water.
