BRIDE Denise Dancer called off her wedding when she discovered her fiance had a secret lover - her teenage daughter.
Denise and sweetheart Paul Bayliss, 34, had planned to marry after 10 "blissful" years together. They named the day for a $34,000 white wedding and Denise, 37, asked Emma -- her 18-year-old daughter from a previous relationship -- to be chief bridesmaid.
But her world fell apart when she came home early and found 157cm Paul with Emma in the garden of the house they all shared in England's West Midlands.
Denise, an office supervisor, said: "I glanced through the window and saw Paul and Emma, half-naked, kissing and fondling each other."
"I stood there transfixed like a rabbit in the headlights and I was shaking.
"They hadn't seen me so I just ran out, got into my Jeep and sped off in tears. I was almost physically sick. I couldn't believe what I had seen."
Mother-of-three Denise, of Oldbury, immediately cancelled the wedding for 150 guests and a honeymoon in Mauritius -- without telling anyone.
But it was eight weeks before she could find the courage to confront the pair.
She asked them into the lounge for a chat and they eventually came clean.
Denise said: "They confessed they had been having an affair behind my back for two years."
Amazingly, Emma is now to take her mum's place -- and walk down the aisle with Paul.
They are engaged and plan to marry next March. Emma, a translator, and window maker Paul moved into a nearby flat after Denise kicked them out.
Denise told how she had already turned down two proposals from Paul before he got down on one knee and produced a diamond ring.
Denise, whose other daughter Lisa, 15, was also due to be a bridesmaid at the August wedding, said: "I am devastated. I had a blissful relationship with Paul and thought we would be together forever. But I despise him for what he's done and can't bring myself to talk to a daughter I loved.
"He made contact to say he may have made a mistake and he wants to come back. I told him he'd made his bed and had to lie on it."
Paul said: "I didn't mean to hurt Denise but things happen and now I'm with Emma. That's all there is to it."
Emma said: "I'm with Paul now but I don't want to comment."
I would've used Springer, but seeing as how the groom and the bride's daughter were not first cousins (which would make the bride the groom's aunt) or something like that, I thought Maury would work. But Springer is fitting too.
Exactly! I give them a year and the three of them will be happily sharing a bed together...
It strikes me tha Emma is the boundlessly stupid woman in this story.
In case y'all are curious, I did the conversion . . . 157 cm is about five-foot-two.
fortunately they seem to be describing his height, not his ... prominence
157 centimeters = 61.8110236 inches
ok, you were quicker but I am much more precise :-)
Being a grand-child in this family is going to be quite a challenge.
Yikes! That comes out to 62.8 inches. Reminds me of that joke about the Marine and Navy guy fishing off a bridge...
Does he have, "Eyes of blue?"
LOL I was wondering if I was the only one who read it that way.
My calculator says 61.81102362
Paul must have been using one of those male enhancement products advertised via spam.
If they had been fooling around for two years that would make Emma 16 when they started. A rather worldly intellect at that age I would imagine....
The second daughter, Lisa, is 15 -- is she from a "previous relationship" or marriage? Plus an unmentioned son. Oh, brother. White trash (I am assuming that they are white because they are English).
157 centimeters = 61.8110236 inches = 5.15091863 feet.
braggart
5.150918635 on my Ti
Must be lower barometric pressure where you are ...
Actually, I got 5.1509186333333333333333333333333
Sure Emma is very stupid but what has she had for an example? Her mother shacked up with a child predator for 10 years --- just like Woody Allen and Mia Farrow.
