Woman Turns Up At Church For Wedding After Getting Invite Before Realising She's The Bride


This woman was given the shock of her life - when she was invited to her OWN wedding. While the bride is usually responsible for the majority of a wedding's organisation, on this occasion, Mercedes Ortiz was kept completely in the dark.
In fact, the stunned bride only found out she would be the star attraction at the wedding when the doors of the church were opened.

Her husband, Gustavo, managed to arrange the ceremony at the church in Sarandi, Buenos Aires, Argentina, without his wife suspecting a thing.

And her incredible reaction was caught on camera as dozens of her friends helped surprise her.

An almost nine-minute long film of her entrance, caught by a friend, shows how staff at the church in the city opened the massive wooden doors to the church and people start applauding.

You Are Becoming Tacky, Tasteless & The New Madonna, Piers Morgan Tells Mariah Carey (It’s A Must Read)


Mariah Carey once kept me waiting all day.
I can remember it now: every single one of the long, tedious, 12 hours that I was held virtual hostage in my dressing room while Her Majesty played up like a tantrum-prone toddler who’d had her pacifier removed.

She’d been booked to do a two-minute performance on America’s Got Talent, but refused to sing live.

So the judges, including me and Sharon Osbourne, were hauled in on our day off just so she could pre-tape her song.
We arrived at midday.

By 6pm, Mariah still wasn’t ready, so the 2000-strong audience was sent home, and an entirely new one was bused in.
