Bride arrested after wedding day stiletto attack on her new husband

Not the ideal time for Mark Allerton and the former Teresa Brown to have the first blazing row of married life.

After some well-chosen insults, the newly-weds ended up grappling together in their hotel bridal suite and 33-year-old Mrs Allerton spiked her husband in the head with one of her stiletto heels.

The 40-year-old oilman staggered down to the hotel desk with blood pouring from a puncture wound, causing staff to call an ambulance.

Police who also arrived found the bride, still in her wedding gown and tiara, surrounded by broken glass and power sockets which she had ripped from the wall in her rage.

"She wasn't particularly nice to the police," prosecutor Alan Townsend told Aberdeen Sheriff Court. "She was asked to calm down but didn't and was arrested and detained for questioning."

While the reception for family and friends continued, Mr Allerton was taken to hospital for treatment while his bride, who works in an estate agent's, spent her initial two days of wedded bliss in a police cell.

However, the couple are still together and are trying to make their marriage work.

Mrs Allerton yesterday admitted attacking her husband and vandalising the bridal suite at the Treetops Hotel in Aberdeen.

She had been charged with a breach of the peace by shouting and swearing at officers, but her plea of not guilty was accepted. She was fined £250 and ordered to pay £500 compensation to the hotel.

Sheriff James Tierney told her: "I think it's best to bring this to an end. You and your husband have resolved matters and there is no need for further intervention from the courts."

The couple, who had been friends for 16 years before falling in love last November, were married on April 21 at the Ardverikie Estate in the Highlands, where the BBC drama is set.

Mrs Allerton's solicitor Stuart Beveridge said she had been suffering from mild depression and was taking anti-depressants at the time of the incident.

"This is a very sad story. There had been an argument in the bridal suite. They had both been throwing things about the room and at one point, she struck him on the head with a shoe.

"Both have accepted joint responsibilityfor the damage that's been caused."

Mr Allerton said: "I've forgiven her and I love her. It was something over nothing. Just one of those silly things.

"It's unfortunate that the police got involved. It was hellish for me seeing her taken off in handcuffs, but at the end of the day we're back together and we're happy. I'm not holding anything against her."

His bride added: "It was just a domestic that got out of hand. It could have happened to anyone. We're still very much in love and want to put this behind us."
