Groom, Bride and best man spend wedding night in JAIL

A bride, her husband, and the best man spent their wedding night in a jail after a chaotic brawl saw her stab her own mother with a stiletto.

Claire, 26, and Eamonn Goodbrand, 33,’s wedding celebration devolved into violence after many hours of heavy drinking.

Cherry-Ann Lindsay, 47, was grabbed by the hair by the mother-of-four bride before being attacked with a stiletto and having her hands around her throat.

‘She then grabbed my neck and placed me in a choking hold.’ I couldn’t take a breath. Ms Lindsay told The Sun, ‘I believed I was going to die.’

The groom, a former professional boxer, and his best man, Kieran, then got involved in the fight and assaulted Ms Linday’s companion, David Boyd, 40.

Mr Boyd was punched and kicked, his thumbs were thrust into his eyes, he was bit, and he was held by the neck.

Garry Brown, another visitor, was also assaulted and kicked by Kieran Goodbrand.

Before the violence erupted, pictures from the day show the pair grinning on the dance floor and standing by the sea.

CCTV footage allegedly showed the altercation spilling out onto the seaside lawn after the pair married in June 2019 at The Vu wedding venue in Ballencrieff Toll, Bathgate, West Lothian.

Police were summoned, and the bride, groom, and best man, all of whom were from Uddingston in Lanarkshire, were arrested and detained.

The bride, groom, and best man all pled guilty to assault and injury charges in court yesterday.

Before appearing before Livingston Sheriff Court, the newlywed couple spent their wedding night in separate jails.

When they were freed from detention, the bride was dressed in what seemed to be her wedding gown.

The groom and best man were clothed in jail tracksuits, still wearing their muddy wedding shoes and carrying their blue ties.

Professional boxer Eammon Goodbrand, 33, was released with a plaster on a head injury.

His 26-year-old wife carried a pink purse.

Ms Lindsay described her daughter’s wedding as a “sick farce,” with her bride daughter “swearing like a banshee” and the males “drinking beer and tumbling over one other.”

She noticed ‘trouble building’ at the wedding, but she didn’t anticipate things to escalate.

Ms Lindsay, a self-employed IT financial expert, stated that she is no longer residing at the address and does not wish to see them.

‘I’ve moved away, and I don’t want them to know where I’m going,’ she explained.

Claire Goodbrand pleaded guilty to injuring her mother in Livingston Sheriff Court yesterday.
