Verb information for verb "SWOON":

People Targets:
CATHEDRAL WEDDING  - As you begin to sway, (target) reaches out, trying to catch
                     you before you fall.
WAVEDANCER WEDDING
  FEMALE           - You twirl on your toes and fall into (target's) arms with
                     a deep sigh.
  MALE             - You spin around as if to fall into (target's) arms, but
                     he/she steps back, allowing you to crash to the ground.
CHAPEL WEDDING     - You eye (target) from head to toe.  Placing a hand over your
                     heart, you swoon dramatically, showing him/her the effect
                     he/she has on you.
ETERNAL WEDDING
  FEMALE           - Noticing that (target's) attention is elsewhere and endeavoring
                     to rectify his/her lapse in judgment, you utter a plaintive
                     whimper and effect a dramatic swoon, complete with the back
                     of your hand pressed to your brow.  Ere you can hit the
                     (ground/floor), (target) is there, his/her arm snugly encircling
                     your waist as he/she returns you to your feet, protectively
                     anchoring your body against his/her own.
  MALE             - From the corner of your eye, you catch a glimpse of (target) and,
                     marveling at his/her beauty, you feel a distinct weakness in
                     your knees.  Without warning, you scoop his/her hand into yours
                     and press kisses to each of his/her knuckles before letting go.
