Woman flies across the world for friend's wedding – and attends wrong one
Woman flies across the world for friend's wedding – and attends wrong one
A woman travelled from America to Scotland to attend her friend's wedding and accidentally showed up at the wrong ceremony, leaving people in hysterics. The viral clip posted to TikTok shows Arti (@firstseedfoods) sitting in a taxi on the way to the big day. "POV: You travelled >3,000 miles and accidentally showed up to the wrong wedding," she wrote as the video's on-screen text, which has been viewed almost half a million times. Arti then shows a shot of the decorative sign, reading: "Caitlin and Stephen. 12.08.2023. Thank you for sharing our special day with us." Luckily, the bride and groom were good sports and found the mix-up amusing. "You’ve come to Scotland from America and come to the wrong wedding," the groom's brother jokes."It’s true, oh my gosh I’m at the wrong wedding," the TikToker responds. "My wedding and her wedding," the groom continues while pointing at his wife. @firstseedfoods congratulations Caitlin and Stephen? thanks for being such good sports and inviting me in for a drink #weddingtiktok #scotland #ohno Fortunately for Arti, she managed to get a taxi to the correct venue. Despite missing the speeches, she did end up making her friend's wedding after all. In a follow-up video, Arti explained the situation to intrigued viewers. "Immediately no one looked familiar, which is okay because I’m coming from out of town," she said. @firstseedfoods Replying to @Kate the story gets crazier! #storytime #glasgow #scotland #punjabiwedding "I didn’t know a lot of the wedding guests but then I saw the big board that said 'congratulations Caitlin and Stephen' and I though oh I must just be at the wrong entrance. Maybe it’s a big building and it’s hosting multiple events," she continued, before revealing the hilarious blunder. "This needs to turn into a rom com movie NOW!!! Lol," one fellow TikToker commented, while another joked: "Somewhere in this story is your future husband, even if you’ve got one now."

Mohamed Salah’s double helps Liverpool to another derby-day success
Mohamed Salah’s double helps Liverpool to another derby-day success
Mohamed Salah became the first Liverpool player since Peter Beardsley 32 years ago to score in Anfield’s opening four league matches with both goals in a 2-0 victory over 10-man Everton in the 243rd Merseyside derby. Ashley Young, who has played in some of the world’s biggest cross-city clashes in Manchester, Milan and Birmingham, was sent for a second bookable offence shortly before half-time to make the Toffees’ task of ending their woeful record across Stanley Park even more difficult. Salah converted a 75th-minute penalty after a Michael Keane handball and then converted a counter-attack in added time which meant the Everton fans present were still to see a ‘live’ victory at Anfield since 1999 as their only win in 2021 came behind closed doors during the Covid era. Egypt international Salah’s penalty was the 15th consecutive Premier League match in which he had either scored or assisted and brought up Liverpool’s 50th goal against Everton at Anfield in the Premier League. It was also his 200th career league goal, but his second was his 104th at home for Liverpool, taking him past greats Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard into fifth place on the club’s all-time Anfield scorers list. But despite Salah’s stellar statistics this was far from a classic derby encounter, even it was a predictably typical one. Young’s 37th-minute red card – the 29th in this fixture and the 13th of the last 16 to be shown to Everton players – was not quite a turning point as Liverpool were well on top even at that stage but it was contentious. Luis Diaz looked to have somewhat bought the first yellow when he went down after a tackle on the halfway line but once referee Craig Pawson had given that he had no option when Everton’s right-back brought down the Colombia international on the edge of the area. Sean Dyche’s response at half-time was to replace his two wingers – Jack Harrison and Dwight McNeil – with defenders Nathan Patterson and Michael Keane and switch to a back five. It did little for striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s prospects, whose only opportunity came just 36 seconds into the game when he headed tamely at Alisson Becker. After that it was virtually one-way traffic, although Liverpool’s best openings seemed to come on the counter-attack and often from Everton attacking set-pieces. They had a four-on-two at one stage but when Dominik Szoboszlai released Diaz in the penalty area his delayed shot that allowed Young to block. Trent Alexander-Arnold drove a free-kick into the wall, Salah muscled McNeil off a 50-50 and curled a shot just over and an Alexis Mac Allister half-volley from 30 yards was claimed at the second attempt by Jordan Pickford. But Klopp’s side were nowhere near their sharpest in the final third and that played right into Everton’s hands. Young’s sending-off tipped the balance even further in favour of the home side but they continued to be repelled with Salah’s 52nd-minute shot blocked by James Tarkowski. Everton’s numerical disadvantage and lack of wingers emboldened Klopp to replace left-back Kostas Tsimikas, making his first start of the season in place of the long-term injured Andy Robertson, with Diaz to allow the introduction of Darwin Nunez and Harvey Elliott. Konate, whom Everton’s coaching staff felt should also have had a second yellow card for a foul on Calvert-Lewin’s replacement Beto, was also removed for his own good. Keane must have wished he could have been afford the same courtesy when his outstretched arm blocked Diaz’s cross. Dawson initially gave a corner but VAR advised him to review the pitchside monitor and he reversed his decision and Salah sent Pickford the wrong way from the spot. Elliott and Jota both went close as the onslaught continued but it was Salah who benefited from Nunez’s quick counter-attack as he clipped home his second as Liverpool extended their record to one defeat in the last 28 derbies and Everton slumped to a sixth loss of the season.

Creepiest places you can visit on Google Maps
Creepiest places you can visit on Google Maps
With Google Maps able to show us almost every corner of the Earth, it can be fun to explore the world from the comfort of your own home. For those interested in taking a look at some of the more creepy sites the world has to offer, from cemeteries to sights of historic mass murders, look no further. Bachelor’s Grove Cemetery, US The cemetery located in the southwest suburbs of Chicago is known for having many apparent ghost sightings Reported sightings in the past include the white lady, who walks around the grounds carrying an infant when there’s a full moon. A black dog has also been reported sitting by the entrance, but witnesses say it disappears if you get close. Ancient Ram Inn, UK The inn located in the Gloucestershire town of Wotton-under-Edge has reportedly left guests jumping out of their windows out of fear from ghost sightings. It was built in 1145 on pagan burial ground and the ghosts are thought to be relics of witch burnings, Satanic rituals and child sacrifices. Sign up to our new free Indy100 weekly newsletter 112 Ocean Avenue, US The house is located in Amityville, NY and was the scene of a murder committed by Ronald DeFeo Jr. who notoriously killed his parents and four siblings in the house in 1974. The home was purchased by a couple the following year but they left after a month of moving in due to paranormal activity, inspiring The Amityville Horror book and film. Lawang Sewu, Indonesia The building that was the headquarter of the Dutch East Indies Railway Company in the colonial era is said it be haunted by headless spirits. It was also used as a Japanese prison in World War II. The Waverly Hills Sanatorium, US The former sanatorium in Jefferson County, Kentucky used to be a hospital for people with Tuberculosis. Its fifth floor is rumoured to be haunted and the building features a body chute that would have been used for corpses of the deceased. Bhangarh Fort, India This 16th-century fort is thought to be one of the most haunted places in India, and visitors are banned from going there after dark. According to legend, it is cursed by a hermit named Guru Balu Nath and is built on the site where he used to meditate. LaLaurie Mansion, US Marie Delphine Macarty was a New Orleans socialite who tortured and murdered enslaved people in her house in 1834. Her crimes were discovered after a fire at her mansion when enslaved people were found bound in her attic. They displayed signs of long-term abuse and cruelty. Zvíkov Castle, Czech Republic Located in a break in the woods in the Czech Republic, Zvíkov Castle is believed to be haunted by spectral dogs and a kind of magical imp called the Zvíkovský Rarášek. It is said that people who sleep in the castle’s tower will die within one year and visitors have reported animals behaving strangely and cameras breaking out of nowhere. Catacombs, France Paris’s famous underground network of tunnels were first built at the end of the 18th century. They are lined with the bones of millions of bodies as cemeteries at the time overflowed. Legend says that if you’re in the catacombs after midnight, the walls begin speaking and persuading those inside to go deeper in until they become lost and can’t find a way out. Museo Casa de la Zacatecana, Mexico This museum is inside a historic home from the 17th century that is home to a number of ghosts following two gruesome murders. Legend has it that the woman of the home asked one of her servants to kill her husband. After he had done it, the woman then killed the servant herself so he couldn’t tell anyone. It is said that she buried the bodies in the stables. To this day, two skeletons can be seen in a covered opening in the floor. The Myrtles Plantation, US Constructed in 1796, not only was this historic home a slave plantation but it was also built on a Native American burial ground. It is thought to be one of America's most haunted homes with 12 ghosts roaming its halls. Have your say in our news democracy.
