It's hard to pick the most appalling aspect of this story:
- The fact that a 16-year-old girl felt no shame in asking her father - who lives in a caravan and surfaces driveways for a living - for a wedding that ended up costing £100,000?
- The fact that the father enthusiastically agreed?
- The fact that her parents are supportive of a 16-year-old marrying a 17-year-old whom she's been "dating" since she was 13?
- The wedding dress itself? Not only is it breathtakingly vulgar, and cost £16,000, but it's "studded with Swarovski crystals, and with a 10ft wide train, was so heavy that it took ten guests to help her struggle out of the Rolls-Royce Phantom that brought her to the church"
- The following quote?
After the ceremony-guests in feathers and crystals enjoyed champagne and an all-day buffet at the reception. Girls as young as nine showed off bikini tops, high heels and make-up. Guest Victoria Docherty, 23, who wore a £700 hotpants and bra outfit, said: 'This isn't unusual - it's just what we do at weddings. It's all very extravagant. Everything is paid for by the bride's daddy.'
