  Eeek. Talk about needing to fully research a situation before going into it.

That's terrible! Sometimes "I'm sorry" truly isn't enough! This poor couple basically had the best day of their lives ruined by a crummy police department. :p Sorry if my opinion offends some of you, but if that would have been me I would have been pissed as well! Glad they got married in the end though
