22
When 25 year old bride Siobhan married the love of her life, Scott aged 24; it should have been the happiest day of her life.
But the Great British weather put paid to their dreams of a perfect wedding when the day turned out to be the wettest day for more than 60 years.
Three-quarters of the couples twenty invited guests were unable to get to the ceremony in Alnwick, Northumberland, and the unlucky pair were forced to abandon their wedding photos which were planned to take place at a beautiful castle as the venue was flooded.
If that wasn’t bad enough, the Rolls Royce that was transporting the bridesmaids to the reception broke down en route and on arrival at the reception venue the newly-weds discovered that the roof had collapsed.
The bride who was eight weeks pregnant on her wedding day said of the catalogue of disasters:-
“We did smile through and see the funny side in the end. I was determined to get married no matter what.” We may have picked the worst possible day but we got there in the end. The most important thing is that we are husband and wife and we love each other. We had a lovely night… but there was water leaking into buckets.”
The happy couple are now looking forward to their honeymoon in Turkey.
