Talk about being caught red handed!!! Sometimes we can be in are thirties and still want to keep secrets from mom and dad, like having a crafty cigarette now again for instance. Just imagine it you’ve kept your little dirty habit secret for years from your parents never letting on and then suddenly it’s out there and you’ve been exposed – then imagine this on your wedding day in front of a room full or your family and this is exactly what happened to James Radcliffe on his wedding day. He had booked a £8000 trip on the Ventura to tie the knot with his fiancé, with all their family to join them on their magical day. They hired a cameraman, provided by P&O and a photographer to capture all of the images from the start to finish. Unfortunately for them the cameraman overslept and missed the main event.
As if this wasn’t bad enough he then went on to try and cover his tracks by putting together a montage of photos with a soundtrack, which he then showed at a special screening for relatives onboard the ship. Only problem with this was he included a shot of the bride and groom having a sneaky cig behind the scenes. Upon seeing this the bride burst into tears as she knew how strongly the grooms parents felt about smoking and she felt like this had completely ruined the day. The bride was said to be completely devastated and left heartbroken after having such high expectations.
After the disaster P&O Cruises tried to make a second film with amateur footage taken from guests and relatives but the dodgy editing made it look even worse with shaky lines and blurred footage. P&O have commented that a member of staff has been disciplined and all costs for the videographer have been refunded!!!!
I should hope so to, the poor couple’s day was ruined by this man – did he not possess an alarm clock. He was probably too busy enjoying the ships drinks and entertainment the night before!!!
Oh well at least the secrets out there now and you never know maybe this will be a good incentive for the couple to quit – new wife, new life and all the money they save not buying cigarettes can be put to buying another cruise holiday.
