British student James Cripps went to Las
Vegas, had a few drinks and got married. His problem was that he already
had a girlfriend, and she was not pleased to hear that he had married
a complete stranger. He put off telling her about it for three days
after he returned from the United States, and then she dumped him.
The Times newspaper said 21-year-old Cripps had now begun the humiliating
process of trying to find his bride, a 26-year-old optician from Australia,
to try to persuade her to agree to an annulment. Cripps has little
memory of his new wife, nor can he recall much of the ceremony. "I
was way too drunk," he was quoted as saying. "We were all very drunk
and thought it would be a laugh if we got married. "It was one of
those stupid things. If you go to Las Vegas, you drink, you gamble
and you get married, which is what I did, although I regret it now.� He
added :"It was funny for a while, but now my ex-girlfriend is never
going to talk to me again.
英国学生詹姆斯·克里普斯去了拉斯维加斯，喝了两杯，然后把婚结了。问题在于他已经有了一个女朋友，而她知道他同一个彻头彻尾的陌生人结了婚不会高兴。从美国回来后他拖了3天才把这件事告诉女友，之后就被女友甩了。据《泰晤士报》报道，21岁的克里普斯现在开始了寻找新娘的难堪旅程，打算劝说她解除婚约。他的新娘26岁，是来自澳大利亚的一个眼镜商。克里普斯对自己的新婚妻子没有什么印象，也想不起太多婚礼上的事情。报纸援引他的话说：“我醉得厉害。我们都醉得很厉害，于是就想如果我们结婚会是个乐子。”“这是件蠢事。你去了拉斯维加斯，你喝酒、赌博，然后结了婚。这就是我干的事情，虽然我现在很后悔。”他补充道：“当时还是蛮好玩的，不过我以前的女朋友再也不会理我了。”
Remarks：看来婚礼之前得先测试血液里的酒精含量——他们的婚礼是谁主持的？
