Dumped on my wedding day

Here, two nearly-marrieds talk about being let down on their big days – and the people who dumped them explain why they did it.

Lilly Suli

EXCITED Lilly Suli posed in her wedding dress as she prepared for what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.
That all changed when her phone rang.
Just two hours before the ceremony was meant to begin in early 2009, Lilly, now 28, was dumped over the phone by her boyfriend of three years, James Hudson.
While breaking the news to Lilly, James admitted he had kissed and sent sexy texts to other women.
Heartbroken Lilly became so hysterical after hearing the shocking news that her bridesmaid called a doctor to calm her down.
Lilly says: "I can remember posing for pictures in my dress and feeling like the happiest girl in the world.

"Then one of my bridesmaids answered my phone and said it was James.

"The moment I heard his voice, I knew something was very wrong.
"James was in tears and sounded distraught. He admitted he had cheated on me and that he didn't feel we were right for each other. I felt sick and humiliated."
Lilly, an admin assistant from Chiswick, west London, found love with American James, 28, when she moved to Los Angeles for a job. The couple met at a party and moved in together after three months.
After two years together, James, a barman, proposed and the couple arranged their wedding for January 16, 2009, in LA.

She says: "We couldn't afford a huge wedding so we invited 50 of our closest friends and family to a civil ceremony and a reception at an exotic gardens.
"The wedding cost £6,000 and we booked to have our honeymoon in England and Paris, costing £4,000. In the months leading up to the wedding, I started talking about our future and having kids. James told me to slow down, saying he didn't want to rush things.
"We started seeing less and less of each other. I was working all day and James worked overtime in the bar to get extra cash.
"I knew our relationship had been better but I thought it was just the stress of the wedding. I had no idea what was coming."
Like Jessie, Lilly, who is still single, felt the devastation of learning her fiancé had betrayed her.
She says: "When I answered the phone James said he couldn't go through with the wedding.
"He admitted that he had been on several dates with other women in the last few months and had kissed a couple of them.

"He also said he had been sending sexual text messages to them.
"I remember dropping to my knees and screaming. My bridesmaid had to break the news to my 50 friends and family who were waiting to see me get married."
The couple had to pay a £4,000 cancellation fee for pulling out of their wedding. Lilly adds: "Losing the money added insult to injury. And many of my family had flown over from the UK.
"I feel for Jessie, the embarrassment of cancelling your wedding on the day is horrendous.
"I'll always be known as the girl who was stood up on her wedding day."
James, who has recently got engaged again, says: "I am deeply sorry for all the distress I caused. I realise my actions were gutless.
"When the day of the wedding arrived, I knew I couldn't go through with it. Lilly wanted me to earn more and we wanted babies – it was a lot of pressure. I went on dates with other women before the wedding. This was a way of trying to convince myself Lilly was my soul mate, but she wasn't.
"I admit I was sexting these women and it was wrong. However, I still felt I needed time to play the field.
"I am convinced I did the best thing for both of us, even though I broke her trust and her heart."


Joe Thomas

HEARTBROKEN Joe Thomas was dumped while in the car on the way to the ceremony.
On the eve of their big day two years ago, Joe, now 26, and his girlfriend of five years, Jennifer Sorrenson, excitedly drank champagne together before going their separate ways.
So Joe was mortified when Jen called him and dropped the devastating bombshell.
Joe, an account manager from Exeter, says: "I had posed for my wedding pictures and felt nothing but excitement and joy.

"When I answered the phone to Jen I remember grinning and saying, 'Hi baby', but she didn't reply. Then I heard her start to cry. A wave of nausea ran through my body and I felt like I was trapped in a nightmare."
Jennifer, a 25-year-old trainee accountant, told him she couldn't go through with the wedding. Joe says: "Although she was crying, her voice was cold and matter-of-fact.
"She said she didn't think that I was 'The One' and that she loved me like a brother.
"Jen then told me she wouldn't be coming to the wedding and hung up.
"I felt like I had been punched in the stomach. I couldn't speak for ten minutes.

"When we arrived at the venue my best man had to tell our friends and family the wedding was off. The rest of the day is a blur.
"My friends were sympathetic and told me I'd had a lucky escape. But I felt humiliated and as though my future had been ripped from my hands.
"I couldn't work out what had gone wrong and I felt stupid that I hadn't picked up on the signs that she didn't want to marry me.
"As well as all the emotional damage, I had to pay £2,000 in cancellation costs."

Jen told me she wouldn't be coming and hung up. I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach

Five weeks after being jilted Joe received an email from Jennifer explaining why she had cancelled their wedding day.
He says: "She said she had realised I wasn't the man she wanted to be with for the rest of her life and that she was too young to commit to marriage.
"She also said that I wasn't mature enough for her."
Two years since being jilted, Joe still can't forgive Jennifer. He adds: "I find it most hurtful that she could not have told me the way she was feeling before the wedding.
"Instead she left it until the day to be honest with me."
Joe, who is single, believes being dumped has affected his chances of finding love again.
He says: "I have gone on some dates since my non-wedding but when girls find out I've been jilted they start to question why.
"I feel like I've been branded as the bloke that girls don't want to marry."
Jennifer, also from Exeter, is now in another relationship. She says: "I never wanted to hurt Joe. I had known for a few months the marriage wouldn't work but everyone was so excited and I didn't want to upset them or Joe.
"But on the day of the wedding I couldn't put on the dress because I knew I'd be ruining both of our lives.
"Now I'm in another relationship and am properly in love, I realise I did the right thing. Joe and I had a friendship more than a relationship. That's not enough.
"I wish Joe well and hope that one day we can be friends again."

The gravy champions

IT'S usually poured over meat and two veg - but it was all gravy for these wrestlers as they grappled for the top prize.

Slippery competitors went head to head at the World Gravy Wrestling Championships in an array of costumes today.
It was a messy business for the contestants, dressed as chickens and Little Bo Peep, as they battled it out in a pool of gravy in the fifth annual event.
The championship was held on a knock-out basis, with the audience voting for the winner after each clash.
Some brave onlookers got close to the action at the Rose 'n Bowl pub, Stacksteads, Rossendale, while others stood well back with their drinks.
After several entertaining bouts in the gravy-filled ring, the crown finally went to Emma Slaterm, 25, from Oldham, and Joe Hicks, 32.
Landlord and organiser Jon Lowe said: "We had about 1,500 people turn up for it which is superb and we are delighted it was so well supported."

All money raised from the popular event will go towards the East Lancashire Hospice.
Elliot Rourke, who won last year's contest while dressed as a bunny girl, said: "I would say the gravy was of a slightly finer consistency than it was last year. I think this year was the best turnout yet."

Kate Winslet flees inferno on Sir Richard Branson's £90m island

TITANIC star Kate Winslet fled Sir Richard Branson's Caribbean home yesterday as it was engulfed by flames.

Kate, 35, helped carry the tycoon's 90-year-old mum to safety after lightning hit the mansion on his £90million island Necker.
The actress scooped up frail Eve after lightning set the mansion ablaze.
Branson, who was staying in a villa nearby, yesterday likened Kate's dramatic rescue to a scene from one of her Hollywood blockbusters.
He said: "Many thanks to Kate Winslet. It was she who carried my mother out of the house. She swept her up into her arms and got them out of the house as fast as possible.
"My mum is 90 and can walk but it was more to speed the process up than anything else. But Kate was great."

He added: "She said it was like being in a film set where you're waiting for the words 'Cut' but they just don't come. It was quite surreal for her to be in a real-life situation like that."

Kate was in the sumptuous 14-bedroom Great House with her children Mia, ten, and Joe, seven, when the storm struck.
Branson's daughter Holly, 29, was among others in the house. His son Sam, 26, and nephew Jack helped about 20 guests to safety

But they could only stand on the beach and watch as the beautiful house was reduced to ash.
The 61-year-old Virgin tycoon added: "We had a tropical storm with winds up to 90mph. A big lightning storm came around 4am and hit the house. My son Sam and nephew Jack rushed to the house and helped get everyone out.

"Around 20 people were in the house and they all managed to get out and they are all fine.

"Kate Winslet, her boyfriend and her family were there and Holly and some of her friends were also staying.

"The main house is destroyed and the fire is not yet completely out.
"My office was based in the house and I have lost thousands of photographs and my note books which is very sad.
"But all family and friends are well, which in the end is all that really matters."

Caribbean island ... Necker

Branson said he would begin rebuilding the Great House as soon as possible. He added: "It's very much the Dunkirk spirit here.

"We will rebuild the house as soon as we can. We have wonderful staff here and want them to stay in work.
"We'll all stay here for the time being. There's a lot of damage and we won't be able to stick it back together again right away.
"It was a beautiful house. But we'll create something even more special out of the ruins. I'm currently just huddled up with family and friends in the continuing tropical storm realising what really matters in life."
Branson was staying 100 yards from the Great House with wife Joan.
Oscar winner Kate is holidaying on Necker with her boyfriend.
Branson bought Necker Island, part of the British Virgin Islands, for just £120,000 in the late 70s.

It is now said to be worth £90million. He built the Great House in 1982, followed by the surrounding Balinese-style villas.

Branson regularly lends them to famous friends, with past guests including Mel Gibson, Princess Diana, Oprah Winfrey, Steven Spielberg and Robert de Niro.

The 74-acre island has been a luxury retreat for the super-rich since 1984. The isle can be privately hired for £33,000 a night. Sixty staff run the island, which is home to more than 200 flamingos.
It also has its own three-man submarine called the Necker Nymph.
Each of the 14 bedrooms in Great House has its own balcony, four-poster bed and en-suite bathroom.

A spokesman for Virgin said today: "In the early hours of this morning, a fire took place on Necker Island, causing substantial damage to the Great House.

"While the cause at this stage is unknown, it is thought most likely due to a lightning strike.
"While substantial damage was caused, no guests or members of the Necker Island staff were hurt. Sir Richard Branson, members of his family and guests were on the island at the time. They are all safe and being accommodated elsewhere on the island."

Branson originally bought Necker Island to woo Joan - his wife of 35 years.

He has said: "I was about 26-years-old. I was chasing this beautiful lady, trying to persuade her to come and live with me and we discovered this beautiful island.

"I somehow managed to get the island, the lady and the mother of my children.

"I appreciate every moment of my life. I was born under a lucky star."
Holly, who took some of our exclusive pictures of the fire, is due to marry ship broker Freddie Andrews on the island later this year.

Ashley Cole serenades Cheryl

TONE deaf Ashley Cole grabbed a karaoke microphone to serenade ex-wife Cheryl - only to SLAUGHTER the Bruno Mars ballad.

The England soccer romeo - back dating the Girls Aloud beauty after she dumped him for cheating on her - turned crooner by belting out the soppy song Just The Way You Are.
Cole, 30, was with the former X Factor babe, 28, at a pal's housewarming bash when he launched into his "out of tune" rendition.

The song includes the cheesy lyric: "When I see your face, there's nothing that I would change - 'cause you're amazing just the way you are."

A family friend revealed yesterday: "Ashley pretty much murdered the song. But Cheryl loved it."
Blushing Cheryl then sang a track by US country band Lonestar called Amazed. It includes the line: "I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better."
The pal said following the slushy antics in Barnet, North London: "It was clearly about Ashley."
The couple have battled to keep their reconciliation hush-hush. But it emerged they also enjoyed a pizza together at the house of Cheryl's Girls Aloud bandmate Kimberley Walsh, 29.
Chums say the pair now plan to holiday together.

Bride sees groom eaten by a shark

A BRITISH bridegroom was killed by a shark off an idyllic honeymoon island yesterday - as the horrified bride he wed 11 days ago looked on.

Ian Redmond, 30, was attacked in shallow water 100ft off a Seychelles beach.
Bride Gemma Houghton, 27, from Wigan, was sunbathing and heard him shout "Help, help" as the Bull shark savaged him.
Ian suffered horrific injuries as the monster tore huge chunks of flesh from his body.
Fishermen carried him to the beach in a dinghy but he died before paramedics could arrive as she wept beside him and screamed "that's my husband".

Attack

It was the second attack by a Bull shark in two weeks on Praslin Island in the Seychelles - 20 miles from where Prince William and wife Kate honeymooned.
A witness, also called Ian, said: "The swimmer was missing a huge chunk of flesh from his left leg, so much so that I could see the bone of his thigh. He was sickeningly pale, but still had his flippers on both feet.
"A woman ran over and started screaming. She said, 'That's my husband! We were just married'."
An islander said: "The man was swimming close to the beach. He began splashing and shouting. His arm was ripped off and parts of his torso were missing. There was a horrific amount of blood in the water. It was like Jaws."

Horror ... beach hit by the attack

Another witness said someone grabbed Gemma and kept her away from her mutilated husband.

He added: "The damage was too great. It was too horrific for her to see."
Beach restaurant boss Jeanne Vargiolu, 56, said Ian had lost one arm and had the flesh stripped off one leg.
He also had holes in his chest and stomach.
She added: "All the meat on one leg was gone."

Bill Houghton, the bride's uncle, said: "Gemma is just devastated. They had a perfect wedding. Ian was a fantastic bloke."

The couple, who married on August 6, were at stunning Anse Lazio beach in the early evening - about 3pm UK time - when the shark attacked in shallow waters, 100ft from the shore.
The previous shark attack victim was a French diver.
A Seychelles tourism source said: "The latest bite marks are consistent with that of a Bull shark. It is probably the same rogue maneater."
The couple's families, David and Coleta Houghton and Stephen and Corinne Redmond, were flying to the resort last nigh

She always crosses her legs in a provocative manner when she sees me and I think she expects something from me too.' The pharmacist gives him asecond condom; and as the boy is leaving he turns back and says: After all, give me one more condom because my girlfriend's mom is still pretty cute and when she sees me she always makes allusions...and since she invited me for dinner, I think she is

Cesc Fabregas leaves Arsenal for Barcelona

CESC FABREGAS has ended the summer's longest-running transfer saga by signing a five-year deal with Barcelona.

Following confirmation last night that Barca had reached an agreement with Arsenal, Fabregas undertook a two-stage medical in Spain this morning.
And the 24-year-old midfielder, who has had a £175million buy-out clause inserted in his contract, was introduced to the Nou Camp faithful after being handed the No4 shirt.  

Fabregas said: "For me it's a special day. I'm returning home.
"I know that the Arsenal fans will be disappointed with my exit from the club, but I'm here to face an incredible challenge — the challenge of my life.
"To get the No4 shirt is very special. I know there has been a debate about whether Thiago Alcantara should have it but I'm very pleased to be able to wear the number.

"I come here with great humility because I know I have a lot to learn and I can learn a lot from Pep Guardiola and this great team.
"I know I can enjoy it and make a contribution. I'm going to try very hard to make this team even more competitive and strong.
"I will give everything to make this club better."
Fabregas, who joined the Gunners in 2003, was also full of praise for former boss Arsene Wenger.
He added: "I'll never have enough words to thank Wenger for all he's done for me. I'll never forget him.
"I can't express my admiration for him strongly enough, I owe it to him that I am here.
"The relationship is fantastic. On Friday I said goodbye to him and I got very emotional because he's like a father figure to me.
"I couldn't even talk at one stage when I wanted to say how grateful I was. I got a bit emotional and couldn't talk much.
"I had to send him a message afterwards, saying 'I'll never forget what you've done for me'.
"If it hadn't been for him I wouldn't be here today, living my dream."

Breivik back on murder island

MASSACRE monster Anders Breivik once again stalked the island of Utoya - as he showed police how he slaughtered his 69 victims.


Killer ... Anders Breivik
Killer ... Anders Breivik

Tethered to a rope like an animal, he was seen raising his arms in a firing position at the water's edge to demonstrate how he picked off terrified victims as they tried to swim to freedom.
Officers gathering evidence against the 32-year-old beast videoed his every move as he attempted to recall each shot fired with his semi-automatic Ruger Mini 14 rifle.
But the killer - who is proud of his twisted gun rampage - did not show a flicker of remorse during his eight hours at the scene of the horror.
He arrived on the island at 2pm on Saturday - on the same ferry he took on the fateful afternoon of July 22. He was made to wear a bullet-proof vest to guard against revenge attacks.

Breivik - who admits the killings but denies any criminal guilt - wore a red shirt and a yellow harness attached to a long rope. He was shadowed by a dozen cops as a police helicopter hovered overhead.
Police could be seen following him past the Utoya club house and up a hill into a wooded area where most of his victims had been camping.

Breivik's lawyer, Geir Lippestad, said his client claimed to be able to recall every shot and every person killed.
Lippestad said Breivik believed the massacre was necessary to save Norway from Muslim immigration.

The monster spent years planning the attack on a summer camp of the youth wing of the governing Labour Party, where most of his victims were teenagers or in their 20s. He created a diversion before heading to Utoya by detonating a huge bomb that killed eight near government buildings in the Norwegian capital of Oslo.
The attacks traumatised the Scandinavian nation, which prides itself on its tolerance and multiculturalism.

Prosecutor Paal-Fredrik Hjort Kraby said yesterday: "The suspect showed he wasn't emotionally unaffected by being back at Utoya - but he didn't show remorse. He has been questioned for around 50 hours and has been calm, detailed and collaborative, and that was also the case on Utoya."
Breivik has claimed that he phoned police ten times during the shootings to try to turn himself in - but that eight of his calls went unanswered.

Police officials confirmed yesterday they had received several phone calls from him during the terror attack, but declined to say how they had reacted.
Breivik faces up to 21 years in prison if he is convicted on terrorism charges, but could be caged indefinitely for as long as he is considered dangerous

Make me laugh and I’ll sleep with you

SOUL singer Adele says her ultimate turn-on is a man who makes her laugh - and she couldn't care less about looks.

The Someone Like You chart-topper, 23, admits she is on the hunt for love and has revealed a checklist for her ideal bloke.

She said: "I would like someone with humour. If they make me laugh, I'm in the bed. I really don't care how they are physically."
And she said her tastes range all the way from a Hollywood heart-throb to a chunky bearded American stand-up.
The North Londoner said: "For husband material it ranges from Leonardo DiCaprio to Zach Galifianakis. It really does vary that much. I like all sizes, it doesn't matter - if they make me laugh I am on it.
"I also like a man who can cook and someone who can be passionate for life.
"I like someone who really inspires me and I admire."

The double Grammy winner, from Tottenham, has made a fortune from being unlucky in love.
Her album 21 detailed the painful bust-up with a long-term boyfriend and sold millions worldwide.
But the singer-songwriter admits she is still stunned by her sudden fame.


Adele said in a US telly interview: "This success literally all fell into my lap. I was always singing and knew I would be involved in music. But I thought I would be a receptionist or work in a shop and on my days off go and play an acoustic show to my family and friends. I never ever thought this would happen.
"I didn't bother to dream about being a professional singer because everyone I know has dreams and none of theirs has come true, so why would mine?"
The musician was discovered after a talent scout came across three tracks on her MySpace web page in 2006.
She said: "I didn't bother to hand my demos in anywhere as I didn't even know where record companies were.
"Nothing has ever sunk in - and I don't really remember very much.
"Being a singer is like an out-of-body experience and a bit bizarre."

Britain’s drunkest woman

A SHOPLIFTING mum downs up to 28 pints of lager in a single day, a court heard.

Dawn Marsden, 31, drinks so much she should be dead, experts said.
She was wrecked as she appeared on a theft charge and had to ask reporters later what her sentence was.
Jobless Marsden spends all day drinking cheap lager at home in Hartlepool, Teesside, and steals to fund her habit. The charge related to ten packs of bacon stolen from a Co-op and sold for £1 each.
Her solicitor John Relton told the town's magistrates: "You may have noticed my client has a drink problem. She will drink up to 16 litres a day. She has a long-standing appetite for alcohol."
Her two-year-old daughter was taken into foster care because of her boozing, the court heard. Marsden, who has a string of previous convictions for theft, admitted the new charge and was handed a six-month conditional discharge.
She then turned to a reporter to check the sentence, before branding it a "sham" and walking out.
Her booze intake is a staggering 84 units in 24 hours - the recommended safe guideline for women for a month.
She sinks more than the drink-drive limit EVERY HOUR of the day.


After the hearing, addiction counsellor Dr Robert Lefever said her body would not cope if she suddenly stopped.
He said: "She should be dead at those levels. The reason she isn't is that she has trained her body by drinking every day. She is the equivalent of an Olympic athlete when it comes to drinking."
Yesterday Marsden said: "I'm going on detox next month."

10 kids with 4 different men

A MUM of ten is seeking charity aid - despite receiving £30,000 a year in benefits.

She says she needs extra handouts to give her kids a "lifestyle they deserve".
Jobless Moira Pearce's £600-a-week income includes child benefit, child tax credit and income support.

Her housing costs are covered by the local council.
She has seven daughters and three sons by four different dads - Kayleigh, 17, Jamie, 16, Chloe, 13, Tyler, ten, Shania, six, Blade, five, Shonna, four, Candice, three, Chardonnaie, two, and Maxy-Jane, one.

Moira, 34, said: "All I want is to provide for them. I'm struggling. I've asked the Salvation Army for clothes and toys but haven't had a response. I just don't think I get enough money. I cope with what I get but I need more help.
"All I want is a few hand-me-downs. If I had another £120 a month I'd be able to buy them clothes myself."
Greedy Moira lives in a three-bedroom home in Gillingham, Kent. She said she spends around £300 a week at the supermarket alone.
