Grooms weds the best man...????

No this is not a "gay wedding thing!"

A man from Loughborough in the UK was suprised and horrified to find out that he had been 'accidentally married' to his best man.

The groom named Chris Adams, who is 33, had a wedding ceremony where he exchanged vows with his bride named Gemma Mortell, who is 19, on a Valentine's Day wedding ceremony.

Try to forget that for your anniversary, guys...

The couple returned from honeymoon and looked at the marriage license and then they were in for a big suprise. This was reported by the Sun Newspaper.

The bride Gemma had mistakenly signed her name in the 'witness' space - and best man Paul Hickleston had put his signature where the bride's should have been.

The groom Chris said: "I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw what we'd done. I've known my best man for over 20 years and he's a great guy - but I don't want him as my missus."

Gemma added: "When he told me Paul was down as his wife, I just laughed. I thought he was winding me up".

"But it's not funny. The wedding cost a lot of money. It was the biggest day of our life and we wanted it to be just right. We'd planned it for nine months."

The happy couple were worried and had feared their marriage might not be legal but the Rev Elaine Skinner, who conducted the ceremony, has reassured them.
"I've told them they have nothing to worry about - any mistakes can be corrected and I can issue a new certificate," she said.
