Ditched bride gets hitched after finding late stand-in
A bride-to-be ditched four days before her wedding found another groom in time and married him instead.
Alison Innes, 20, from Arbroath, Scotland, was eight months pregnant when her fiance Peter Knight, 28, texted her to tell her he had got cold feet.
But the ceremony went ahead almost as planned on February 20 after her ex-boyfriend Daniel Innes, 18, stepped in to take Mr Knight's place.
This is not the first time true love has gone off its course for Mrs Innes. Last year she hit the headlines when her mother, Pat, 44, married her ex-husband, George Greenhowe, 21.
She had discovered her first husband in bed with her mother just 10 days after their marriage in Angus, in
November 2001. She filed for divorce naming her mother in the papers but then managed to forgive the pair and gave them her blessing - and even became their bridesmaid.
Mrs Innes told Closer magazine the news her second wedding was off came "out of the blue". "I didn't see Peter, but I received a text saying sorry," she said. "I was very upset and didn't know why he backed out."
But after hearing of her plight Mr Innes immediately asked for her hand in marriage. "I was so shocked," she said. "We weren't together although we'd dated for four months last year."
It took her just 48 hours to decide to go ahead and marry unemployed Daniel. Invitations were changed and a different size kilt ordered. Mrs Innes does not know who the father of her child is - it could be Mr Knight, Mr Innes or his brother John.
"I realised I did love Daniel," she said. "He made me laugh and he's good looking. He knew he may not be the baby's father but he promised he'd support me and that the baby would be his first priority. I feel certain I've done the right thing by marrying Daniel. He makes me feel secure."

He just wants to marry her so he can sleep with her mother.
But seriously, who thinks she isn't going to cheat on him?

Any chance they can find a mother wolf for this child?

He knew he "may not" be the baby's father..
Well, he sure will be now.

His lucky day! A pregnant woman who doesn't know who the father of her baby is, and all he has to do is slave away for her and her kid without respite for decades to come. Congrats to the groom!

Ah, "Philadelphia Story" redux. I'll bet the bride looks just like Grace Kelly, too.

When I think how difficult that feat (not knowing the father of your baby) is!
Unbelievable.

Either her bank records or a full page foldout will explain everyone's interest in her...AND MOM! Some things are hereditary.

Yeh, that funny (not) joke you posted is much in line with the male-bashing we observe over the last 30 years or so.
Enjoy.

In a similar vein, I think it was on Cops I saw a bit where a guy was arrested in a domestic disturbance. they also arrested his mother, who stabbed him, when he tried to call the police. The family fight was precipitated, apparently, when he found out his mother and his wife were having an affair.
About all you can say is, "People! It takes all kinds." Although sometimes it seems there's more of the stupid kind than there ought to be.
