Photographs are the most tangible item you walk away with. Thus, wedding photography is considered one of the most important tasks to do prior to the main event. This young nurse has been named the ‘prettiest bride’ by Chinese media after an unforgettable incident happened during her wedding photoshoot.

The young bride-to-be was identified as Guo Yuanyuan, a nurse at the Dalian Hospital in northeastern China. According to People’s Daily Online, she was with her fiancé for a wedding photoshoot on a beach in Dalian, northeast China, until they heard a man badly in need of help.

Some witnesses said they heard the man shouting for help around 10 am on Monday, September 21. They saw how the man waved his hand just before being pulled back to shore by several beach-goers.

The crowd gathered around the unconscious victim, however, it appeared that no one knew how to perform CPR.

The next thing happened left a big mark to the entire scene…

About 100 feet away, the 25-year-old nurse jumped off a three foot ledge and rushed to the scene while still wearing her wedding gown. She then proceeded to perform CPR on the man as well as giving him mouth to mouth resuscitation for over 20 minutes.
