Is this Britain’s Unluckiest Bride?

Is this Britain’s Unluckiest Bride?

It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life. But according to the Mail Online, Yvonne Wilsons, wedding day is something she’d rather forget. The 37-year-old from Yorkshire has been dubbed Britain’s unluckiest bride after she was rushed to hospital twice on her wedding day, was forced to abandon her dream honey moon and had her wedding and engagement rings stolen.

Mrs Wilson, a beauty therapist, is reported to have started to feel ill during the ceremony as she married groom Dennis, at a luxury hotel. After the wedding party moved to a local park for official photographs to be taken Mrs Wilson, 37, was struck down by agonising pains. She cut short the photo shoot and returned to the hotel in Rotherham, South Yorkshire, hoping to shake off the pain. But as the bride and groom were preparing to welcome guests to an evening reception at the town’s Holiday Inn she was struck down again.

Leaving her husband, 51, to meet the arriving guests, Mrs Wilson was rushed to nearby Rotherham District Hospital by bridesmaid Sue Vickers. After being examined by doctors in the hospital Accident and Emergency department, Mrs Wilson was given painkillers and released.

She returned to her wedding reception but was hit by more pain as the party was ending at 1am and had to return to the hospital. The following day she had further examinations and after a scan two weeks later doctors discovered she had a fibroid – a benign tumour on her womb that would require surgery to remove. But when doctors revealed there was a six month waiting list for the operation, Mr and Mrs Wilson decided to cancel their £3,000 Caribbean holiday in Barbados and instead use the cash for a private operation.

Then in a final cruel twist, Mrs Wilson’s wedding and engagement rings were stolen from a house where she was working as a mobile beautician. She had removed the rings to carry out the treatment but forgot them when she left.  The property was burgled the following night and the jewellery was stolen. Let’s hope things can only get better for the couple from now on.

Katy Perry Celebrates impending wedding

  • September 28, 2010 at 10:11 am


While Russell Brand was recently being arrested for allegedly attacking a paparazzo at LAX, his soon to be wife, Katy Perry, was living it up in Sin City.

According to the Star-Ledger, Ms Perry was seen partying in Las Vegas with her BFF, Rihanna, for what was most likely her highly-anticipated bachelorette party. The two pals were spotted at the Cirque du Soleil show Ra and later at the Hard Rock Hotel Beach Club for a late-night pool shindig.

Many on the Internet are reporting that this can only mean one thing, that the couple’s wedding vows are imminent!

Of course, before then, Mr Brand will probably have to sort out the strange legal situation he now finds himself in. The funny man allegedly became involved in the ‘argument’ because of a photographer getting too close to Perry’s undergarments.

“If you cross the line and try [and] put a lens up my dress, my fiance will do his job and protect me” the vocalist was later reported to have tweeted.

Girls Love Pearls offer a wonderful range of wedding jewellery to help make you feel like a ‘star’ on your wedding day including a range of costume jewellery, including the Chic Petal diamante and pearl bracelet, available for only £22.95 or the Vintage style diamante and faux pearl choker for only £37.95.

Chantelle Houghton & Preston

Chantelle Houghton has made no secret that she’s desperately in love with ex-husband Preston. According to sources, the pair were reported to have spent the night together after leaving the Big Brother house.

However, the former Ordinary Boys front man is reported to have said that’s rubbish. ‘I think my friend “A. Source” has been getting the wrong end of the stick once again,’ Preston has apparently quipped on Twitter.

Chantelle, 27, has made her feelings clear and Preston, 28, acknowledges that they still have a lot to discuss. ‘We need a bottle of wine and time alone!’ he says.

And if, after getting to know one another again, they do decide to retie the knot, Chantelle is more than prepared. She still has her wedding ring and even the wedding dress. ‘Two weeks before I went into the house, I got my wedding dress dry cleaned,’ she reveals.

Girls Love Pearls offer a wonderful range of wedding jewellery to help make you feel ‘special’ on your wedding day. The Chic pearl and Diamante Earrings or the Vintage Style Diamante and Faux Pearl Choker are just two of the great offers available right now.

Prince William and Kate Middleton

The wedding of Prince William and long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton is one of the most hotly anticipated events that have yet to be formally announced, with rumours circulating that the couple may have finally agreed a date for their wedding.

The People Magazine have reported that ‘sources’ claim the wedding will take place in June 2012, which differs from a report just a few weeks ago claiming a 2011 wedding would take place.

The new date would coincide with the summer Olympic Games which are scheduled to take place in London in 2012, and would also be taking place during Queen Elizabeth II diamond jubilee.

So far, palace officials have remained silent on rumours surrounding the couple’s impending wedding, telling the news source that they have yet to be instructed to begin wedding planning for any upcoming marriage.

Prince William and Ms Middleton, both 28, have been dating off and on for the past eight years, and still have yet to officially announce their engagement. The couple reportedly spent a recent weekend with friends at Balmoral, the Queen’s estate in Scotland.

“Stephen Moyer and Anna Paquin have married in Malibu surrounded by their family and friends,” the couple’s reps reportedly told the People.

Ms Paquin, wearing a white halter neck gown and Neil Lane jewellery with her hair in an ‘updo’ and Moyer, clad in a dark suit, exchanged vows at sunset under a white tent at a beachside villa. “It was a beautiful evening to get married and the sunset was gorgeous. Anna and Stephen seemed very excited to celebrate their wedding day,” the source told the People.

Celebrity guests included True Blood creator Alan Ball, co stars Ryan Kwanten, Sam Trammell, Rutina Wesley and Carrie Preston, as well as actor Elijah Wood.

The stars of the hit HBO series became engaged a year ago when Moyer, 40, proposed with a vintage-style ring on the beach last August.

“It’s great to have the freedom to enjoy your work and not feel like you’re leaving your other life behind,” Paquin, 28, says of the couple’s relationship. “It’s a pretty sweet setup.”

Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker  Marry

Konnie Huq and Charlie Brooker have confirmed they have married in Las Vegas, describing themselves as ‘blissfully happy’. The former Blue Peter presenter, 35, and TV critic, 39, eloped to Nevada’s Sin City earlier this month during a gap in filming for Huq’s new role as host of The Xtra Factor.

Following reports over the weekend they had wed in a small ceremony over a week ago, her spokeswoman confirmed today they were now husband and wife.

The presenters have always seemed a slightly strange pairing, but they defied the sceptics by getting engaged a few months ago. A source told the Mail On Sunday newspaper that Charlie didn’t want a big, tacky celebrity wedding because he doesn’t see him and Konnie as a celebrity couple. ‘They are very much in love but when it came down to it, he wanted the wedding to be low-key.’

Huq and Brooker were friends for years and regularly bumped into each other at industry events, but only started dating late last year.

Girls Love Pearls offer a wonderful range of wedding jewellery, for example, the vintage style diamante choker necklace for £42.95 or the  Butterfly diamante choker necklace for only £39.95.

Second place went to Prince William and Kate Middleton with 13% of people nominating them, despite the fact they are not even engaged yet.

Bringing up the rear were former One Show host Christine Bleakley and Chelsea footballer Frank Lampard who only got 3% of votes cast.
