Caught wed handed.
A high-speed bride was caught on bodycam footage “racing to the altar” when police clocked her hasty driver flying down a Florida highway to get the tardy wife-to-be to her wedding.
The bride and her dapper wedding guest told cops they were running late to the ceremony when they were caught by an unmarked police car traveling at 105 mph on the Crosstown Parkway in Port St. Lucie Friday afternoon, according to the Port St. Lucie Police Department.
“Whose wedding is it?” the officer asked the duo while approaching the gray Tesla, according to the footage shared by police on social media.
“It’s mine,” said the bride, who was sitting in the passenger seat, dolled up in a long white gown. The driver was sporting a white collared shirt with a black vest, according to the video.
The woman told the cop she was supposed to tie the knot at 2:30 p.m. in Stuart – but was stopped several minutes later at 2:42 p.m., the footage showed.
“You’re already late,” the officer told the delayed bride, who nervously giggled and told the cop, “We’re trying to get there.”
Police issued the driver a mandatory court date for speeding and allowed the pair to move along so the bride could get hitched.
“This stop gives a whole new meaning to racing to the altar,” police wrote in a Facebook post.
“Not exactly the best way to start your wedding.”
