WEDDING CRASHER
A MORTIFIED woman travelled 3,000 miles for her friend's wedding in Scotland - only to realise that she was at the wrong one.
Arti Mala made the 12-hour journey from her home in Washington, D.C. in the US to Glasgow on Saturday to watch pal Gaurav tie the knot.

But after arriving at Pollok House she hilariously discovered she was at the ceremony of two complete strangers called Caitlin and Stephen.
A video shows Arti's gaffe in its entirety, and begins with her looking mortified as she stares at the camera.
The on-screen text reads: “POV: You travelled more than 3,000 miles and accidentally showed up to the wrong wedding.”
Arti dons a green traditional Punjabi dress as the camera pans round to show the welcome sign which reads: “Caitlin and Stephen. 12.08.2023. Thank you for sharing our special day with us.”
The video then shows Caitlin’s brother with a pint in his hand as he drunkenly jests: “You’ve come to Scotland from America and came to the wrong wedding.”
Arti is left in fits of giggles as she replies: “Yeah. It’s true.”
Stephen, the groom, chimes in as the camera pans onto him: “My wedding”
He then points to his bride Caitlin and says: “And her wedding, actually.”

Arti is choked with laughter as she says: “I’m at the wrong wedding!”
The camera then pans to show a red-faced Arti, who appears to be in the Uber.
The on-screen text reads: “Finally caught an Uber to the right wedding, missed the speeches, though.”
Arti can then be seen at the correct wedding, where guests are clad in kilts and traditional Punjabi outfits, dancing in a conga line as a mix of Scottish and Punjabi music plays in the background.
The wedding she was looking for was in fact taking place at the similarly named Pollokshaws Burgh Hall.
Luckily, the correct venue was just an eight-minute drive away meaning that after a chuckle with the couple whose wedding she'd inadvertently crashed, Arti was able to hop back into an Uber to the correct place.
Arti took to social media to share the footage on Monday writing: “Congratulations, Caitlin and Stephen. Thanks for being such good sports and inviting me in for a drink.”
The video has racked up more than 34,000 likes and dozens of comments from viewers left in stitches by Arti's slip-up.
One person wrote: “Somewhere in this story is your future husband, even if you’ve got one now.”
