LONDON (Reuters) - British student James Cripps went to Las Vegas, had a few drinks and got married.
His problem was that he already had a girlfriend, and she was not pleased to hear that he had married a complete stranger.
He put off telling her about it for three days after he returned from the United States, and then she dumped him.
The Times newspaper said 21-year-old Cripps had now begun the humiliating process of trying to find his bride, a 26-year-old optician from Australia, to try to persuade her to agree to an annulment.
Cripps has little memory of his new wife, nor can he recall much of the ceremony.
"I was way too drunk," he was quoted as saying. "We were all very drunk and thought it would be a laugh if we got married.
"It was one of those stupid things. If you go to Las Vegas, you drink, you gamble and you get married, which is what I did, although I regret it now."
He added: "It was funny for a while, but now my ex-girlfriend is never going to talk to me again."
I didn't forget Notre Dame though...I figure even Michigan fans pulled for us in that one.
Exactly why I had to stop going to Vegas.
You'll never hear me admit it. Have a Guinness (or 12) for me at Trippers.
I'll be here tonight to accept your heart felt and humble apology.
"Dan, you're right. Michigan State is the better team..."
:))
GO GREEN! GO WHITE!
And I am out of here. Best of all, I don't have to drive as I'm in walking distance.
University of Michigan 4-0 and still ahead of State at half time
Cow College 2-2 losing at half time.

Bwahahahah. The drunk part is right. Under a table..nahhh. I met a couple of babes there too , but they were married.(Just my luck) :(
Granted one was unhappily married from what I saw, but still married with an 8 yr old[who said I was red in the face near the end of the game.)
Don't worry. I'll be gone soon enough....
God, that was nerve racking. I woke up my kids multiple times.
