Merseyside man has wedding blessing via webcam
With the bride in the US and the groom in the UK the wedding blessing had to be performed via webcam
A man from Formby in Merseyside was forced to have his wedding blessing performed over the internet after issues arose concerning his new American wife’s visa.
36-year-old Ian Wylie married US national Melissa Hughes in a ceremony in California at the end of June. The couple had planned to have a wedding blessing in the UK for all of Ian’s family who weren’t able to make it to the nuptials in America.
However the newlyweds’ plans were thrown into disarray after Melissa’s visa failed to show up in time for her to make it to the UK for the blessing.
30-year-old Melissa submitted her paperwork at the beginning of June, and was told the process would take up to 10 days. However by the end of the month, she was yet to receive her visa and made numerous phone calls in a desperate attempt to get her visa delivered so as to not miss out on her big occasion.
The bride’s mother and her sister were part of the 80-string party who attended the wedding blessing celebration at a hotel in Southport however the bride herself, was notably absent.
Determined to not let it ruin the occasion, the groom set up a web cam link with his new wife in America and the couple received their wedding blessing via the internet, as their family and friends looked on.
The groom’s mother described the ceremony as the “most emotional thing I have ever been to.” Adding that proud groom Ian was carrying his laptop around the guests at the reception introducing his new wife to his family and friends through the internet link.
