A woman has revealed how her dream wedding in Jamaica turned into a nightmare when she nearly died four days after the ceremony. 

Newlywed Sarah, from London, took to her TikTok channel @lipsticknlouboutins_ to share the terrifying experience where she was told by doctors she had just two hours to live. 

In the four-part video series, the mother-of-three recounted her near-death experience, explaining that an abscess in her groin caused her to develop sepsis and left her unconscious for 36 hours.

Sarah said she and her now-husband Luke flew to Jamaica for their nuptials and it was during the ceremony that she started to experience pain in her groin. By the following morning, she continued, her groin was ‘diabolically huge’.

She saw a lump that stretched from her hip bone to her vaginal area and watched as it got progressively worse over the next few days.

She explained: ‘I can say that the pain was worse than any of the three children that I have had. It was agony.’ 

The bride took a collection of strong painkillers to get her through the few days until she could fly back to the UK for medical care. 

She explained that she didn’t want to remain in a Jamaican hospital because one of her children has a medical condition that prevents them from flying to Jamaica, meaning they weren’t able to accompany Sarah and Luke for the event.

Sarah was in so much pain by the last day of the trip she was ‘in and out of consciousness’. 

She explained: ‘The pain was worse than any of the three children that I had, it was agony. We had friends coming in and out and as they were coming in and out, one of them left crying, they didn’t know what to do.

‘I said to Luke “Please don’t take me to that Jamaican hospital because if I go in, I know I won’t come out.

‘As I got on the bus to go to the airport I nearly passed out, they [hotel staff] weren’t going to let me leave, I said “I’m fine just drive.”‘

Luckily, once Sarah got to the airport, her friend had arranged a wheelchair and assistance to get her through to her gate quickly. 

She added: ‘Thank god because I wouldn’t have been able to make it.’ 

Sarah was given strong pain medication by a friend for the 10-hour plane journey to Gatwick airport. 

She said: ‘I woke up an hour before [landing] and an air hostess had clocked me pretty quick, phoned down for emergency assistance to have paramedics waiting at Gatwick South.

‘By this point I was completely unresponsive, they literally blue-lighted us straight to the nearest hospital.’ 

After undergoing a CT scan, Sarah was told she had sepsis caused by an abscess  that had grown in her groin. 

She explained that she has since undergone surgery to have the abscess removed, with doctors revealing that she was ‘roughly two hours from dying’ when she was admitted. 

She said: ‘Tomorrow I have to go back in for another operation because they didn’t close me back up in case the sepsis comes back, so currently my intestines are being held together by tape.’ 

Sarah ended the clip, which has racked up over 75,000 views, by joking: ‘What a wedding.’ 

Many rushed to the comments to share their well wishes for Sarah’s speedy recovery. 

One person wrote: ‘Oh myyyy!! Sounds horrendous! Wishing you all the best. Hope you get well soon.’

Another joked: ‘Bit extreme just to see if he meant sickness & in health lol but thank goodness you got back here in the nick of time xx’

Someone else added: ‘Wow this awful, I’ve never heard of one of those, speedy recovery to you.’   

However o.thers were concerned that Sarah decided to fly when she was in such pain.

One person wrote: ‘I know you wanted to get to the UK but do you realise how utterly bonkers it is to fly with such pain? Have you seen what cabin pressure does to your innards?

‘If you’d told the airline they’d maybe not have let you fly, because if you took a real turn for the worst, you’d have been diverting the plane and all the other customers. Sorry but anyone reading needs to know this wasn’t right.’

Another said: ‘I’m glad you’re ok. Super dangerous to risk flying home but then I guess you didn’t want to risk being stuck in Jamaica. What a nightmare. I’ve had sepsis myself and it’s no joke.’

To which Sarah replied: ‘That’s it. I don’t want to stay there, I just felt like we wouldn’t get an answer, and when we got here they said the type of abscess so rare, none of his department had seen it, so imagine I didn’t come back.’
