Man flies 5,600 km for wedding - a year early
Tue Jul 10, 2:33 PM
LONDON (AFP) - A man flew all the way from Canada to Britain for a friend's wedding -- then realised he was a year too early, the self-confessed "berk" told BBC radio Tuesday.

David Best sent friend David Barclay an email at the start of 2007 which mentioned his wedding date of July 6.
Despite receiving no invitation, and thinking it was a bit odd to have a wedding on a Friday, expat teacher Barclay nonetheless booked his flights and jetted the 5,600 kilometres from Toronto to Cardiff, in Wales.
"I booked my ticket, paid 500 pounds (1,000 dollars, 750 euros) to fly into Cardiff, got the old suit cleaned, the goatee trimmed, the head shaved -- I was going to be the belle of the ball," Barclay said.
