Worst Wedding William Lawrence Sr Omnibit 9-12-19
No Anthony, the worst wedding in history wasn’t on May 30, 1867 when Prince Amadeo of Savoy married Princess Maria Vittoria dal Pozzo.
Yes, there is an internet story about how the wardrobe mistress hanged herself, and a colonel died after falling off his horse, and the palace gatekeeper was found dead and the best man shot himself in lieu of making the toast, and a stationmaster was crushed by the honeymoon train but that is all internet hooey.
Well, the part about the stationmaster getting crushed by the honeymoon train is true, but the rest, hooey.
