BRIDE Carly O’Brien wanted a big wedding — so she wore a dress weighing 25 STONE.But the £25,000 creation, to outdo model Jordan’s, was 8ft WIDE and got STUCK in the church door.
It took TWENTY people an hour and a half to heave 16-year-old Carly through and up the aisle followed by her 60FT LONG train.
The 30-layer tulle dress, covered with 3,000 Swarovski crystals, diamond head-dress and train meant dad Frank, 40, had to walk in front as there was no room alongside.
Carly, who spent NINE AND A HALF HOURS getting into it, was exhausted when she got to the altar in Gloucester.
After the ceremony groom Michael Coffey, 17, and 14 relatives carried her out.
For non-UK readers, 1 stone = 14 pounds or about 6.4 Kg. So the dress clocks in at 350 pounds.
Other interesting numbers: Ages of bride and groom. The odds you could get at Ladbrokes on this thing lasting more than a year.
