Groom Calls Bomb Threat Into Venue He Forgot To Book

An embarrassed Liverpool groom triggered a bomb scare at his wedding – so his bride-to-be would not find out he had bungled the booking.

Panicked Neil McArdle telephoned St George’s Hall to pretend an explosive had been left in the building where he was due to marry.

He even let his unwitting fiance turn up in her wedding dress, only to find the historic venue evacuated and swarming with police.

The 36-year-old today faced a jail sentence after admitting making the bomb hoax call.

McArdle, of Medbourne Crescent, Kirkby, had planned to marry his fiance Amy Williams at Liverpool Register Office, within the iconic listed building, on April 24 this year.

The date was pencilled in and the pair were given “right to marry” paperwork to complete in order to legalise proceedings.
