Late registrar ‘ruins wedding day’
Couples may be inspired to invest in wedding insurance after hearing how one bride and groom had their big day ruined by blunders at their venue.
Newlyweds Michelle and Peter Rogers claim Kent County Council made their nuptials memorable for all the wrong reasons and they are now seeking compensation.
The first incident was the news on arrival at the venue that the registrar was out walking her dog so could not attend and a replacement would not arrive for two hours.
Mr Rogers passed the time in a local pub, while his bride was forced to sit alone in a dingy side room.
However, once the officiator arrived, things still failed to go according to plan, as she brought the wrong vows, the CD player would not work and Ms Rogers was accidentally referred to by her middle name.
Another couple who were recently jilted by their registrar are Gary and Marie Mead, who spent £9,000 on their Spanish ceremony only for the priest not to arrive, the Daily Mail reported.
