A Groom Who Kept His Cool.

[Martin]

This is a true story about a recent wedding

It was a huge wedding with about 300 guests...

After the wedding at the reception, the groom got up on stage with a microphone to talk to the crowd.

He said he wanted to thank everyone for coming, many from long distances, to support them at their wedding.

He especially wanted to thank the bridesmaids' and his family and to thank his new father-in-law for providing such a lavish reception.

As a token of his deep appreciation he said he wanted to give everyone a special gift just from him.

So taped to the bottom of everyones' chair, including the wedding party, was an envelope.

He said this was his gift for everyone, and asked them to open their envelope.

Inside each manila envelope was an 8x10 glossy of his bride having sex with the best man.

The groom had become suspicious of them weeks earlier and had hired a private detective to tail them.

After just standing there, just watching the guests reactions for a couple of minutes, he turned to the best man and said, "F--- you". Then he turned to his bride and said, "F---you". Then he turned to the dumbfounded crowd and said, "Im outta here."

He had the marriage annulled first thing in the morning.

While most people would have canceled the wedding immediately after finding out about the affair, this guy goes through with the charade, as if nothing were wrong.

His revenge...making the brides' parents pay over $32,000 for a 300 guest wedding and reception, and best of all, trashing the brides and best man's reputations in front of 300 friends and family members.

This guy has balls the size of church bells.

Do you think he might get a MasterCard "priceless" commercial out of this?:

Elegant wedding reception for 300 family members and friends ..$32,000.

Wedding photographs commemorating the occasion ... $3,000.

Deluxe two week honeymoon booked in Maui ...$8,500.

The look on everyones face when they see the 8x10 glossy of the bride humping the best man..........Priceless.

One of my nephews is studying to be a Chartered Surveyor in the UK, and somehow he has got on the network of Real Estate Agents who circulate 'funnies'.

So he forwards some to his old uncle in the boondocks!

Origins: This example of yet another revenge-based adultery legend spread throughout the USA and Canada in mid-1985. Although the bride was usually the wronged partner, Brunvand Isn't that a pretty picture? reported that gender-switched versions in which the groom walked out on the wedding were circulating concurrently with the original. In late 1995 a more elaborate version with a male protagonist swept through the media and circulated widely on the Internet. This updated version (shown in the second example above) is more than a mere gender-switched version, however — it adds an extra helping of virtriol to the tale. Where the bride had been satisfied with voicing her grievance, throwing flowers in the groom's face, and walking out of the church, the groom is determined to make his bride suffer as much pain (both emotionally and financially) as possible.

Sightings: The 1997 wedding of Stephanie Forrester (Susan Flannery) and Eric Forrester (John McCook) on the TV soap opera The Bold and the Beautiful featured a variation on this theme. A rival looking to disrupt the wedding planted a revealing photograph of Eric and Lauren Fenmore in the minister's Bible, and it fluttered out during the ceremony.

if you do feel the need to pass on emails such as the above , I think it is commmon courtesy to cut and paste the body of the email and then add to BCC ( blind carbon copy ) the people you wish to pass it on to - it will help to stop email address harvesting from the multiple forwards.

NIce story though! Isn't there a flim about it....?

[Martin]

I owe an apology.

Since I couldn't vouch for it, I meant to cut off the top line about it being true, and failed to do so. Sorry.

Who cares if it's true or not!?! It gave me a giggle...
