Bride arrested for drunk-driving en route to her own wedding

“Till death do we part doesn’t need any help.”

Many brides enjoy a glass of prosecco or even a quick shot on the way out the door to their wedding but this is next level.

A woman in the US was arrested on suspicion of drink driving while on the way to her own nuptials this week.

The bride, 32-year-old Amber Young, was stopped by police after allegedly causing a three-car crash in southern Arizona.

She was pulled over and removed from her car wearing a backless long white dress, handcuffed and brought to the local police station.

Authorities confirmed that they arrested a woman for driving under the influence after a collision in Marana, 30 miles north of Tucson, at around 10.30am on Monday morning.

One person was sent to hospital after the crash with minor injuries, reports The Independent.

She was released and reunited with her fiancé later that day after submitting a blood sample.

A local police spokesperson shared the story on Twitter after Amber’s release – along with a warning.

“Don’t drive impaired. Till death do we part doesn’t need any help,” Marana Police Sergeant Chriswell Scott wrote.

It’s not known whether the bride and her fiancé ended up tying the knot after her release.
