Groom Switches Girls in Middle of Ceremony - News in Brief

Bryan Belrad
A soon-to-be-married couple in the Philippines suffered a sooner-than-expected break up - during their wedding ceremony.

Over before they even began, the pair had just about completed their vows - the groom had been about to say "I do," when another woman walked into the back of the chapel shouting, "Stop!"

The groom hesitated only for a moment before abandoning his bride-to-be at the altar, and walking over to the intruder. He gave her an affectionate hug, in front of all those assembled, and then took off with her in a taxi.

Depending on one's perspective, that's either the most horrible, or most romantic story in over a hundred years. Either way, it may prove to be an expensive one; the forsaken bride is suing the groom for her emotional distress.

The damages: the rough equivalent of $15,000.

    Thanks for the comments! Yup, that's my thing: all the critical info in 200 words or less, without all that babble the 'regular' news puts in to stretch things out. Someone once called it the 'reader's digest' version of the (weird) news. :) Since I do write "real" articles too, I always tag these 'shorties' with the News in Brief name, so nobody ends up disappointed.
