An excited groom-to-be had the date of his “big day” tattooed on his hand after locking in his dream wedding venue, only to have it suddenly shut its doors.
Michael Crane, 37, and his fiance Linda Brown, 42, were among dozens of couples left in the lurch when Best Western Park Hall Hotel in Lancashire unexpectedly shut on Monday.
According to the Lancashire Post, some couples turned up at the hotel to confront management and demanded refunds after learning of the closure, prompting staff to call the police.
