A pretty bride, a marquee in the grounds of the house in an exclusive seaside town outside Liverpool, plus a sit-down wedding breakfast.

Oh, and there was the groom!

Her parents didn't approve of the groom. He was rough, from a rough Scouse family. Not right for the headstrong, privately educated apple of Dad's eye. But her wedding would be classy... (except for the fistfight, groom versus Dad later!)

The groom's cocky wedding speech publicly slagged off the bride's family.

"She's mine now!" he taunted.

He hadn't won her. He beat her though. She divorced him within the year.

    Her father hadn't helped at all as he was a successful businessman who had no time for wasters...and he made that clear right from the start...but on the other hand, what are you going to do when you see your child making a catastrophic mistake? Say nothing?
