A woman had her dream wedding ruined by the Home Office and had to celebrate alone after her husband got stuck abroad due to a visa issue. Hazel Taylor, 36, drank alone and only cried twice during her wedding ceremony, as her new spouse 34-year-old Kareem Kowaitly was unable to enter the country to join in.
The pair met in Abu Dhabi but due to legal reasons, they officially tied the know in a ceremony in Georgia and planned to celebrate with family and friends in Gillingham, Kent. They set the date and Kareem applied for a visa so he was able to attend, but the Home Office were late in processing the application and as the day drew closer Hazel knew she would have to celebrate alone.
