Bankruptcy, broken bones and a burglary almost ruin ken, karen porter's shaadiKenneth and Karen Porter carefully arranged their wedding day, but nothing could have prepared them for the chaos that would follow.
The couple saw a succession of companies involved in their wedding wedding shops, hotels and even airlines go bust before their big day.
They saw the bridal gown store burgled, their holiday plans fall apart and even watched in horror as an iron bought to remove creases from the wedding dress blew up before their eyes.
But since the pair tied the knot nearly two weeks ago, their fortunes have improved they even enjoyed fine weather on their week-long honeymoon.
"We had been planning the wedding for more than a year," said Karen. "But it was one thing after another. It's been a really hard year."
"Everybody who's dealt with us has had bad luck. It's been a nightmare. But the wedding was perfect," she said.
