In Port St. Lucie, Florida, a bride and her wedding guest made headlines after being pulled over for speeding at a shocking 105 mph on Crosstown Parkway. Dressed in full wedding attire, the pair claimed they were racing against the clock — quite literally — because the bride was running late to her own wedding. The ceremony was scheduled to begin at 2:30 p.m. in Stuart, but instead of exchanging vows, they found themselves face-to-face with one of the city’s unmarked police units still well within Port St. Lucie limits.

While tradition says rain on your wedding day brings good luck, this sunny afternoon detour brought only legal trouble. The driver now faces a mandatory court date for the high-speed dash, turning their tale of love into a lesson on how not to arrive at the altar. The police department couldn't help but note the irony, saying the situation gives a whole new meaning to “racing to the altar.” Hopefully, the rest of their big day slowed down — at least long enough to say, “I do.”
