Ultimate wedding crasher: why your mistress shouldn't get an invite

Planning a wedding? Take a good look at your guest list, and be sure to uninvite anyone you cheated on your fiancée with. If you don’t, it could get ugly.

The Sunday New York Post reported a Queens woman has filed a civil suit against a guest at her wedding for slander, emotional distress and battery. Sandrina and Harold Purdum’s wedding went sour after wedding guest Jessica Angevine vocalized her feelings on the union during the wedding ceremony.

"Me and Harry were good together. You had to ruin everything by marrying him. You f- - -ed everything up," says Sandrina Purdum, quoting Angevine on the her ill-fated day. The outburst and scene became so unruly that the bride and groom were ordered to leave the wedding hall, along with their 70 guests.

Angevine was Harold Purdum’s employer at a Long Island pool company. Purdum denied the affair, quit his job the Monday following the wedding and has been unemployed ever since. Sandrina Purdum says she would like to have a baby with her husband, but can’t because she doesn’t trust him.

Sandrina Purdum also told the Post "What happened to me shouldn't have happened to anyone. Someone just comes in and ruins your special day. I would like to see her go to jail for this.”

Wedding crasher—yes. Jail-worthy—not sure about that. What do you think?
