Wedding bus fiasco leaves guests in lurch
Bride-to-be Tina Sage of Egmanton Road, Meden Vale, booked a 49 seater coach to pick guests up at their wedding on June 11 at 6pm at St Peter and Paul Church, Church Warsop.
However, the coach turned up at St Peter and Paul Church on Church Street in Mansfield, some 15 miles away.

This week her husband Jodie Sage said the incident had ruined the couple’s wedding day and wants the company to refund them the £300 charge they had paid.
He said: “I asked the driver to pick us up an hour early as the service had lasted an hour rather than two as we anticipated.
“He said he was an hour away. He could have double checked the address but he didn’t.”
