Scotland's Just More Fun

I'm telling you -- and all my Scottish friends can say I TOLD YOU SO -- when you take a bunch of guys and dress them up in skirts, a lot of lovely things happen. Scotland's just more fun. And what a forgiving lot!

Don't miss this great story of love lost, love found, one groom dumping the bride by text message no less, another groom found in bed with the bride's mom, a long lost love stepping in to marry the girl, a few sexy guys in skirts and a wedding -- how can you go wrong?!
JILTED BRIDE GETS NEW MAN

A bride-to-be ditched just four days before her wedding found another groom in time for the big day. Alison Innes, 20, was eight months pregnant when fiancé Peter Knight, 28, sent her a text calling off their wedding.

But her wedding still went ahead on the day planned when former love Daniel Innes, 18, stepped in as her knight in kilted armour. Mrs Innes's off-on marriage is the latest saga in a line of marital troubles.

In 2001, she stumbled across her husband of only 10 days, George Greenhowe, in bed with her mother Pat. But despite her heartache, she forgave them even agreed to be bridesmaid at their wedding.

Mrs Innes, from Arbroath, said news her wedding was off had come "out of the blue".

"I didn't see Peter, but I received a text saying he was sorry. I was very upset and didn't know why he backed out," she told Closer magazine.

The Scot said she and Mr Innes had dated for four months last year and was "shocked" at his proposal, but it took her just 48 hours to agree.

She is not sure who the father of her child is - Mr Knight, Mr Innes or his brother John - but said her new husband had still promised to support her.
BTW, this was stolen lock, stock & barrel from Dave Barry's blog where the recent addition of comments is really something not to miss.
