 ASIR, 27 August 2006 — A couple here was divorced right after they were married after the mother of the bride threw a hissy-fit over the car that was going to escort her daughter from the celebration, the Okaz daily reported yesterday. For some reason, the practical Toyota Camry just wasn’t good enough; the old lady wanted her precious princess to be chauffeured away in a stretch limousine. In fact, she unreasonably insisted on the groom getting a fancier car right there and then.
The groom tried to reason with her, that it was too late to be scurrying about town trying to drum up an acceptable ride. The woman was relentless however, and, finally, the groom came to the sad realization that this raving lunatic of a woman would be his mother-in-law if he didnÂ’t break off the nuptials right there and then. And so, alas, he uttered three times the words that ended the marriage, and drove off in his practical car. |
