Wedding turns into total mess

Wedding turns into total mess

JAKARTA (JP): A wedding ceremony in East Jakarta dissolved
into disarray when the parents of the bride where informed that a
mayoralty wrecking crew had arrived at their nearby home.

As their daughter prepared to walk down the aisle, her family
was forced to juggle greeting guests with pleading with the
officers to spare their home.

Still wearing traditional clothes, they argued with the
officers over the legitimacy of the demolition order, but to no
avail.

The bride (identified only as Elly), who was very upset over
the incident, was furious over the absence of any earlier
notification. "Why should this happen on my wedding day?" she
asked.

The Pos Kota daily reported yesterday that the demolition was
executed under the orders of the mayor following the family's
refusal to leave the house despite a number of requests. (hhr)
