    Bride Swaps Groom Days Before Wedding


    By Bob Dow
    Source: Scottish Daily Record

    LOVE-hungry Alison Smith swapped bridegrooms just four days before her wedding.

    When fiance Peter Knight got cold feet, Alison was so determined to get married she simply got another man for the big day.

    Former boyfriend Daniel Innes stepped in at the last minute to get hitched when he heard Alison had been ditched.

    He also learned he might be the father of eight-months pregnant Alison's baby along with Peter and Daniel's own brother John who had also dated her.

    It is the latest twist in a bizarre hat-trick of weddings involving Alison, 20.

    At 17, she married 21-year-old George Greenhowe but 10 days later caught him in bed with her own mum, Pat, 44.

    In an incredible act of forgiveness, Alison agreed to be the bridesmaid at their wedding last year where Daniel was the best man.

    She married 18-year-old Daniel two weeks ago and admitted last night: 'I feel certain I've done the right thing by marrying him. He makes me feel secure.'

    It had all seemed destined to end in more heartbreak for Alison, from Arbroath in Angus, last month when she was dumped by 28-year- old Peter as they prepared to exchange vows.

    Alison explained: 'It was all out of the blue. I didn't see him, but I received a text message saying, 'Sorry'. 'I was very upset and I don't know why he backed out.'

    The wedding venue had already been booked, a dress bought and the photographer hired and Alison was determined not to let everything go to waste.

    She said: 'When he heard Peter wouldn't marry me, Daniel said he would instead.

    'I was so shocked. 'We weren't together although we'd dated for four months last year.

    'I felt confused and said I needed to think.'

    Within 48 hours Alison agreed to Daniel's offer.

    The invites were changed and a kilt hired for the new groom.

    She told Closer magazine: 'I realised I did love Daniel. He made me laugh and he's good looking.

    'He knew he may not be the baby's father but he's promised he'll support me and that the baby will be his first priority.'

    Her mum Pat had to marry George Greenhowe in a humanist ceremony because, under Scots law, it is illegal for a man to marry his former mother-in-law.

    The ceremony took place on Alison's 20th birthday last September and her mum wore a musical thong which played Here Comes The Bride as they exchanged vows.

    Pat and George then announced plans to have kids using a cousin as a surrogate mum if Pat cannot conceive.

    After the wedding, Alison revealed she was now calling her ex- husband 'dad'.

    She added: 'I see George as my dad now. I told him I'd love him to be my dad and started calling him dad before the wedding.

    'I may have lost a husband but I've gained a father.'

    ...can't say as I am all that shocked. But I also have 13 soulless brides wandering my lair, so I might not be exactly the right person to bring this sort of thing up to...
