Couple Get Married - Get Drunk - Marriage Lasts 90 Minutes

SCOTT McKie and Victoria Anderson were looking forwards to a life of wedded bliss as they tied the knot.

But an hour and a half - and a series of drunken assaults - later, divorce was looming fast.

The tale of what has been billed one of Britain's least successful ever marriages ended with 23-year-old McKie being dragged from his own wedding reception by police, newspapers reported today.

According to the reports, the happy marriage lasted for all of 90 minutes before Anderson, enraged at a drunken toast to the bridesmaids by her new husband at their reception, violently hit him over the head with an ashtray.

He responded by taking a hat-stand at the pub in a suburb of Manchester, northwest England, where the party was taking place, and hurling it towards the bar "like a javelin", according to witnesses.

1. A Raving Pissup.

Or was it a Pissing Raveup?

Manchester. Such a special place, especially when the City and the United fans get together for one of their spirited "discussions" on the finer points of football. ;-)

2. Amateurs! Sheesh, everyone knows that the barroom hat-rack toss

requires that you first douse the hats with 151 and set them on fire before heaving them into the wall of liquor behind the bar.

I need to go back home and show them what the fuck's up :eyes:

3. Seems like both were at fault here

But it looks like the man was takin into custody, while the woman (who was the initial assualter) remained free.

6. That's how it typically goes down

When I was an MP, and people were getting into fights in base housing, the first thing we did was take the dude away - even if he was the one wearing the bruises and burn marks from tossed irons and the like.

I'm not being sexist, that's just the way it was.
