Interchangable Grooms for One UK Bride
The wedding day is supposed to be all about the bride, but for bride Asia Ibrahim it really seems like the groom was an after thought. Her dream wedding went off as planned...except with a different groom than she started with. (Let's see...now where did I put my original fiancé...) Groom number one was an Irishman living in Canada that she hat courted on the internet. When they met up in Britain three-weeks before the scheduled nuptials, the groom-to-be dropped a bombshell. He told his bride that he couldn't have children. Well, we all have deal breakers and this was hers. But instead of nursing a broken heart by eating a tub of Ben & Jerry's and watching bad soap operas (not like we know or anything...) she got right back on the internet horse and within 24 hours had found a new groom to walk down the aisle with her on the originally scheduled day. Asia met groom number two, 36-year-old Hameed Ibrahim, in an internet chatroom. (Hey, go with what works right?) The 150 guests where shocked to find the bride was marrying a different many, not knowing number 1 had signed off weeks before. In a slightly creepy twist, groom number two wore the suite that had been especially made for the original fiancé. The bride is aware of the bizarre situation. "I know it sound strange, but we have a lot in common and its feels like I've won the Lottery." And those are exactly the odds we give for this marriage lasting. Cheers!
