NEWLY WED HUSBAND BEATS UP WIFE ON WEDDING NIGHT



Weird wedding news

A bride was brutally beaten by her husband on their wedding night because he couldn't undo her dress. Amy Dawson was pinned to the floor by Gavin Golightly just hours after tying the knot in a romantic ceremony in County Durham in August. The 22-year-old had asked her new husband for help getting out of the white dress she was wearing when he launched the violent attack. Golightly, 29, said he was under the influence of drugs and could not remember the incident but pleaded guilty to assault at Peterlee Magistrates Court.


Miss Dawson, who shares a child with the man, said the attack was so severe she thought it would kill her. 'When he lashed out on me on my wedding night I thought I was going to die. I was terrified. 'He looked like he was going to kill me.'Eventually, I escaped and found a hotel porter, who called the police.'It was such a lovely day, and I was devastated it ended the way it did. It was a huge celebration full of friends and family, and I thought it would have been the fresh start we needed. 'The defendant then tried to undo Ms Dawson’s dress. She received a crochet (to undo the dress with), but the defendant then refused to undo his new wife’s dress.'The defendant then jumped up from his chair, approached Ms Dawson and pushed her over.'He then sat on top of her and started punching her with clenched fists. He then got up and left the room. It appears that the defendant then came back to the room.'The defendant said he has no recollection of the event, adding that he must have had his drink spiked.'He remembers waking up in a hotel room and said he does not get angry when he takes drugs.'Ms Dawson had a cut above her left eyebrow and some bruises to her face and chest area.Golightly from Sunderland, pleaded guilty to assault causing actual bodily harm at a court hearing last month.He was given a 12 month community order and a restraining order preventing him from contacting his wife. Ms Dawson has slammed the sentence as too lenient. 'The community order was far too soft. The restraining order is the only thing keeping me strong. He means nothing to me now.' Chairman of the bench Paul Elliott, told Golightly: 'You do know that when your custody report was asked for, custody was an option because this was a serious assault.'But your early guilty plea and mitigation mean that we will give you a 24-month community order with the requirement of supervision.' He was also ordered to pay £200 in compensation to her, £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.

THE TRADITIONAL MARRIAGE PHOTOS: PJ WEDS SUNNY

From the massive traffic at Festac town yesterday, you could tell that something was happening and the obvious questions were "what is happening", "who are they", "where're they from" And bla bla blah...lol...It's Josephine Enemor and Sunny Ihesiaba's traditional marriage. It was a colourful, classy and a typical igbo traditional wedding, as both couples are from the eastern part of Nigeria. Everyone was in red, white and gold attires especially the stunning bride in her gold lace, red george with circle patterned embriodery, and a stony glittering gold purse, the groom looking smart and dashing, men in red cap and beautiful maidens in array. I can go on and on about the event and you can be assured that it was funfilled as Royalty Okasions were in charge *wink*... Click HERE  to view their wedding website.
