Bride misses her own wedding
April 3rd 2010 02:47
A drink with a friend before your wedding is a tradition Siobahn Watson was determined to follow. Now she wishes she hadn't.
Watson, 24, of Manchester, England, a telesales assistant, was engaged to Aaron Todd, also 24, a bricklayer. A white Rolls-Royce had been hired, the bridal party's gowns had been designed, fitted and paid for, guests had been invited and a lot of money had been spent on the function at which everyone would celebrate the happy day.
Unfortunately, Watson's final drink as a single woman turned into something of a final fling as a single woman. Not all the details have been released, but we can read between the sheets.
Some hours before her wedding, Watson went out for that fateful drink with the unnamed "friend". They drank. They drank some more. At some point Watson lost her mobile phone. At some other point, the two stopped drinking and went to a motel.
We know only two things for certain that went on in that motel room. One is that Siobahn Watson went to sleep. We know that because we have been told the other thing that happened: she woke up.
She woke at about the same time that she was supposed to be saying, "I do."
Later, Watson was quoted as saying, "When I realised I had missed my own wedding, I started shaking. I could not believe I had been so stupid."
Aaron Todd, who had spent longer than expected standing, alone, by the altar, while friends and family tried continuously to ring Siobahn on her lost mobile phone, was quoted as saying, "She won't get a second chance.''
