In September 2017, Canadian groom Clayton Cook made global headlines when he jumped into a river in his full wedding suit to rescue a young boy who was struggling to stay afloat. The dramatic rescue took place during his post-ceremony photoshoot in an Ontario park.

Clayton Cook had just married his wife, Brittany, hours earlier. While the wedding photographer, Darren Hatt, was taking solo portraits of the bride, three children were playing near the edge of the water. Another child accidentally pushed the young boy into the deeper part of the river.

The bride noticed the child struggling and screamed. Before she could even finish calling for help, her groom Clayton had already leaped down the bank into the water, fully clothed, and pulled the boy to safety. The boy was left shaken but completely unharmed.
