A Sydney groom and his best man were seriously injured when they fell 15 metres down a rocky embankment upon leaving the wedding reception at the Manly Pier Restaurant. The men were exchanging farewells and engaged in a bit of horseplay when they accidentally bumped a gate near the edge of the embankment. The gate gave way and the men fell down the rocks and into the water below. The accident apparently occurred when the last guests were leaving the reception.
The groom, 32, was less injured and was listed in satisfactory condition at the Royal North Shore Hospital. The best man, 40, who hails from Victoria, was thought to have suffered a spinal injury and remains in serious condition.
The bridal couple had honeymoon plans but there was no word on whether the accident would delay the honeymoon. Neither man had been released from the hospital as of Sunday.
