A DUBLIN couple who were joined in wedded bliss on Saturday have
filed for an annulment after their wedding reception passed without
anything that could be used as the basis of a hilarious video with
online viral potential.
Rhona Johnson married David Carragher in Stepaside after a
relationship that spanned 12 years, and were joined by their family and
friends for a lavish reception in the plush surroundings of Carson House
in Co. Wicklow.
The newly-wedded couple were said to be overjoyed at finally tying
the knot, although this joy was eroded as the day passed without
anything memorable or unique being captured on film, robbing the couple
of their one chance at being on every online content collation site in
Ireland.
Both Rhona and David blame each other, with the weeping bride stating
that she was sure the best men would have made a video where they run
around looking for the ring, while the groom angrily demanded to know
why his wife hadn’t organised an elaborate dance routine with her
bridesmaids.
“I feel like this whole thing has just been a waste of time,” said Rhona, filling out her annulment papers.
“When you plan a wedding, you dream of being that bride who gets to
be on a wacky video that shows up on Joe.ie… and I didn’t get that. I
just got a stupid regular wedding where me and my husband had to sit
through a bunch of regular speeches without anything amazing happening. I
feel so cheated”.
Footage has emerged of popular singer Ed Sheeran making a surprise
appearance to sing the couple onto the floor for their first dance,
although so far this has only gained 27 views on YouTube as Sheeran has
showed up at practically every wedding this year.
