Married in a Harley Bike Shop
Sharing a mutual love of Harley motorbikes, Becky Robbins and Howard Stoll decided that saying their vows in a bike shop would make their wedding that little bit more special and fitting to them.
The couple who met while they worked at the Daimler Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea, Michigan had been dating for just over a year when they decided to tie the knot and make their relationship permanent while on holiday.
Howard, 57 had been married before and Becky, 53 was widowed by her first marriage. Neither of them was interested in having a traditional wedding service and being a free-spirited couple they chose to hold the ceremony while travelling down to Daytona Beach in Florida.
I guess there is nothing better than having your wedding in an place that involves both your personal interests as well as those of your friends.

Brides Paid to Enter into Illegal Marriages
An police investigation in Scotland has exposed a spate of sham weddings between African immigrants and Scottish heroin addicts.
The female heroin women were offered payments of up to £2,000 to marry the Ghanaian strangers who, once married, would then be able to live and work in the UK.
Ms ‘X’ was the ‘mastermind’ behind this scam and worked closely with African gangsters to arrange the fake marriages.
A register office source said
“This scam was hardly subtle yet it had gone of for years. Ms X was the fixer but she is a vulgar loudmouth who draws attention to herself.”
As long as she could get the addicts to the ceremony room with enough capability to say ‘I do’, her job was done.
What a terrible thing to do, heroin addicts are already at the lowest possible point, but to abuse them further just sucks.

Groom Dies After One Day Of Marriage
Sad story this one. Andrew McCarthy at just 40 years old was diagnosed with terminal cancer just 3 weeks ago, he was then given less than a year to live.
He quickly proposed to his long-term partner, Nicola, and they arranged to get married within 3 weeks of the diagnosis, the aim to spend as much time as possible as Mr & Mrs McCarthy.
The good news is that they managed to get married, the sad news is that Andrew died the very next day.
“It was Andrew’s dying wish to get married - I’m so glad we did it in time.”
It’s nice to see that they got their day of happiness in amongst such sadness.

Bride Arrives at Church in a Hearse…
Fancy a wedding with a difference? How about dressing in black and riding in a hearse, completed with coffin in the back?
That is how Julie arrived at Wakefield Register Office to marry her partner Kevin.
Julie was dressed in a long black lacy dress with matching veil and black satin ribbons. She had black and white gothic make-up which took over two hours to complete!
The groom, Kevin, who is also known as Dylan (for some reason..), turned up sporting a top hat with a full length cane. He was dressed in a black frock coat with a full length Victorian scarf running down his back, while a red and black bow tie finished off this unusual wedding attire.
Could you imagine going to your wedding in a hearse? With a coffin no less! Some people do the strangest things…
