SCOTT McKie and Victoria Anderson were looking forwards to a life of wedded bliss as they tied the knot.



But an hour and a half - and a series of drunken assaults - later, divorce was looming fast.



The tale of what has been billed one of Britain's least successful ever marriages ended with 23-year-old McKie being dragged from his own wedding reception by police, newspapers reported today.



According to the reports, the happy marriage lasted for all of 90 minutes before Anderson, enraged at a drunken toast to the bridesmaids by her new husband at their reception, violently hit him over the head with an ashtray.

Sad but really a gritty kind of humor to it!

(snip 90-minute wedding, "alimony", pre-nuptial agreement)

Something odd here... in the UK, you can't start a divorce until 1 year after the marriage.... it is unlikely that maintenance would be awarded... a pre-nuptial agreement has no validity ("yet", perhaps..). Some division of assets would be on the cards.
