Bride's joke backfires

A bride who jokingly replied 'I don't' found the joke was on her when the registrar refused to go ahead with the ceremony.

Tina Albrecht, 27, was to marry fiancé Dietmar Koch, 29, at a castle in Steyr, Upper Austria.

But after the receptionist tried to bring a bit of humour into the ceremony by saying "I don't" before correcting herself, the authorities called the wedding off.

Under Austrian law, if either party replies to the key question in the negative the wedding is cancelled and cannot be rescheduled for a further 10 weeks - to prevent forced marriages.

Ms Albrecht said: "We had to send all our guests home and now we have to wait until March before we can try again. In retrospect it was probably not so funny."

No no...I think this makes it even funnier!

Ya I read about this last week.  Pretty good.

That really sucks for them, though.  I think it's funny.  Stupid Austrians.  I mean, if it's obvious she isn't being forced, what's the big deal?

I wonder if you still have to pay the registrar.

bet that they'll break up before the march wedding?

I wonder if you still have to pay the registrar. 

hehe that's what I was thinking. I guess you do.

And Raisa that's funny. Imagine the wedding doesn't take place now.
