No Joking Matter

You don't joke about bombs at airports and you don't joke when you're standing before the registrar about to say your wedding vows!

That's what a bride in Austria discovered the hard way.
Tina Albrecht, 27, meant to tell her fiance that yes, of course she would marry him.
But when the registrar asked the question during the ceremony, and Tina joked and said "I don't," then corrected herself, it was too late.
Under Austrian law, if either party says no to the key question, the wedding is off for ten (10) weeks, to prevent forced marriages.

"In hindsight, I guess it wasn't so funny," said Tina!
