I guess the guy can look on the bright side of things. At least he wasn't left standing at the alter.
Bride dumps gambling groom
Bride dumps gambling groom
A GAMBLING addict last night told of his shame after his bride dumped him on honeymoon — for nicking £40,000 from her dad.
Adam Green, 25, also forged pretty Charlotte Walsh’s signature to get £92,500 in home loans.
He blew the lot on a two-year internet gambling habit and they have now had to sell their home.
Last week he narrowly missed going to jail after Charlotte, 23, called in cops.
Adam said last night: “It's all my fault — I have no one else to blame. I feel really ashamed.
“One minute I was enjoying my honeymoon, the next my marriage was over.”
The couple were the picture of happiness at their £15,000 wedding last August.
Brunette Charlotte, of Rawtenstall, Lancs, wore a £2,000 wedding dress and the couple hired a vintage US car to get her to church.
They knocked back champagne at a manor house reception as 180 guests toasted their future.
Then they jetted off for a five-star honeymoon in Cyprus.
But 11 days after the wedding Charlotte’s furious dad Archie, a builder, discovered that Adam had spent £40,000 in cash he was looking after — and called her at the hotel.
Adam said: “When Charlotte found out she burst into tears. Her mum and dad said that if she had anything more to do with me that would be it with them.
“When I came back I didn’t want to leave the house.”
He added: “It’s probably for the best as she’s with someone else now. ”
Former store manager Adam, now back home with his parents in Crawshawbooth, appeared before Burnley Crown Court last week and admitted four charges of theft and obtaining money by deception.
He was ordered to get help for his gambling addiction and was sentenced to a year in jail, suspended for two years.
Judge Beverley Lund said Charlotte “will have to live with the recriminations for many years”.
Last night her mum Jacqueline Walsh said: “She was very upset about what happened. Adam has left her in a lot of debt.”
