Locking knees, failing to squirm unobtrusively, emotion, weather, heat, not having the right food, poorly fit clothes, etc., could also knock one out. I've also been in color guards and had guys faint. Or throw up. In dress whites. Fainting is better. Although pitching uncontrolled to the ground can cause added injuries. I've been around choir members or acolytes as well as members of wedding parties who fainted - and in that church, the floors were marble with maybe only a thin carpet. It's funny (for most folks) later, at the time, it's usually not.
I've known priests who carried ammonia capsules in cassock pockets just because it was so common. sometimes the victim knows it's coming or folks around them might see it coming, sometimes not.
My wife's bouquet wasn't prepared as she'd asked and it turned out substantially heavier than expected and instead of a loop, it just had a rather short wrapped section of stems and she had to really hold on to it. Since it was so heavy, she got so her hands were shaking, which had the priest and me asking over and over if she was OK? but she didn't faint.
It's worth kind of keeping an eye out for, not so much as a photo op but to avoid injury or embarrasment.

....after seeing all those weddings on america's funniest video about the groom fainting and making fun of them. This weekend I got married and I was one of those fainting grooms, it's was hilarious. I knew I was fainting while it was happening. I can't wait to see the video..... This just goes to show, it can happen to anyone, cause I wasn't nervous or worried it just happened. I will be posting a nice big fail picture soon.
