World's Shortest and Longest Marriage

Monday, August 25, 2008

Duration - 90 Minutes
Scott McKie and Victoria Anderson
After exchanging vows at Stockport Register Office, Manchester, the couple went partying with friends and family. Enraged by the groom's toast to the bridesmaids, she hit him over the head with an ashtray. He then picked up a hatstand and hurled it "like a javelin" at the bar.

When police were called, he butted one officer and punched another in the face.

Duration - 86 Years
