Carrying someone bridal style is a method of carrying a person in which the carrier supports the person’s weight with their arms, with the person’s legs wrapped around the carrier’s waist and their arms around the carrier’s neck. This method of carrying is often used to transport an injured or unconscious person, or for celebratory purposes such as carrying a bride or groom over the threshold.
To carry someone bridal style, first stand facing the person you want to carry. Place your arms around their waist, with your hands clasped together at their lower back. Bend your knees and lift the person up, bringing their legs around your waist. Adjust your grip so that you are supporting their weight evenly, with your arms and shoulders taking most of the strain. Keep the person’s head and neck supported, and make sure their airway is clear.
