Groom who ditched bride on day of their £12k wedding finally speaks out

A groom who abandoned his bride on the day of their £12,000 wedding has broken his silence - but refused to apologise for taking off. Kayley Stead, 27, made the brave decision to carry on with the celebrations without her partner of four years, Kallum Norton, after the 24-year-old ditched her before the ceremony on September 15.

Determined not to remember the day with "complete sadness", she partied with loved ones despite her heartbreak at Oxwich Bay Hotel in Gower, Swansea, Wales. With the support of her bridal party and family, Kayley pushed on with wedding entrance, meal, speeches, dances and even posed for professional photos on her own.

Since then, she has appeared on This Morning where she talked about the emotional day with presenters Holly and Phil, the Mirror reports. Her would-be husband has also been tracked down, but Kallum told the The Sun : "I don’t want to talk about the article."
