According to The Scotsman, Kerry Carmichael, 21, appeared in custody just hours after she tied the knot to Liam Moir. It is understood the mum-of-two admitted assaulting her new husband in the early hours of Saturday morning after their wedding. She is said to have repeatedly pushed him in the face.
The couple married at Perth's Register Office at 2.30pm on Friday, but the new bride had to remain in a cell at Perth Police headquarters until her court appearance on Monday, which was scheduled for 2.30pm. In court, it was claimed that Ms Carmichael had become intoxicated after having a number of drinks bought for her by some of the couple's wedding guests. The incident, which happened at a bowling club in Almondbank, also found Ms Carmichael asleep on the bowling green in her wedding dress at one stage. She then had to be woken before she was taken to a relative's home to get changed.
Fiscal depute Jim Eodanable is quoted by the paper as saying: "The accused and the complainer were married on Friday. She had been drinking and was at her mother's house to get changed.
"She was intoxicated and unhappy with the complainer. As they were heading back to their house she repeatedly pushed his face backwards before breaking free from him and running off.
"Fortunately, the complainer suffered no injuries from this. The police attended and the lady spent the weekend in police custody. The complainer explained that he had been assaulted as part of what happened in the evening."
Jamie Morris, defending, added: "The complainer is in court. He indicated to me that he did not feel his wife should be the subject of prosecution.
"They have been in a relationship for about six years and have two children together. The couple married at 2.30pm. Following the wedding ceremony the couple adjourned to the bowling club in Almondbank.
"As perhaps often happens as part of these celebrations, various well-intentioned people proffered alcohol to the accused. She is not someone who generally drinks to excess, but in light of the nature of the event she has accepted this generosity."
They continued: "This ran on into the early hours and by that stage she had had far too much to drink. She was taken from the premises to change and following on from that had to be roused from a drunken slumber.
"She reacted badly to being roused and pushed her now husband in the face in the manner described. She has had the dubious privilege of spending the first 48 hours of her marriage in the less than salubrious surroundings of Perth police station.
"There does not appear to be any lingering resentment on the part of her husband and she has every intention of returning home and putting this matter behind her."
Sheriff Stewart described it as a "very unfortunate set of circumstances", adding: "I am struggling slightly to see where the public interest lies in prosecuting this particular set of circumstances. Your husband doesn't seem to have made any particular complaint. Having spent the weekend in custody you will be admonished."
The couple did not comment upon leaving court.
