Bride’s sister-in-law douses her in black paint moments before ceremony in horrifying ‘revenge’ attack
New York Post ^ | 4/17 | Anthony Blair

A UK bride was covered in black paint just moments before she walked down the aisle in a shocking “revenge” attack by her spiteful new sister-in-law.

Gemma Monk, a 35-year-old mom of two, was walking with her father to her big day in Maidstone, England, when she heard someone call her name — then saw them throw black paint at her, she told Kent Online. She grabbed her attacker’s hair, realizing it was her groom’s sister, Antonia Eastwood, 49, who’d been banned from the nuptials over a simmering feud stemming from the sister-in-law’s own wedding a year earlier.

Remarkably, Monk was able to compose herself, clean up, get a second wedding dress — and tie the knot just two hours later.

Parole and 160 hours of community service? Did she really try to trip the sister-in-law at her wedding?

I find it strange couples marry after 20 years together. Seems way too long.

Where did she get the backup dress?

I wonder if the Jello-wrestling event later on turned out well?

Paint splattered on a bride is mean, awful or shocking, not horrifying which would be kerosene and a lit match or sulfuric acid, something physically harmful.

But that’s just my words-mean-something opinion.

Usually, when couples marry after decades of living together w/o a marriage license, it’s mostly being done for the children sake. In such a union, most children are in their teens by then, and fully aware of their parents never having any Wedding Pictures, sort of lying when their Dad talks about ‘his Wife’. The kids know. Most don’t care but some still do and are quietly shamed.

Don’t feel too sorry for the bride...

Per the above, since the assault, she’s been too traumatized to work.

Okaaaay...

From what I’ve been reading, all involved sound like a hot mess.

Some people say this is no big deal — but I say Black Paint Matters.

It was racist for her to cover her new sister-in-law in blackface.
