Thread: Brilliant Scottish Wedding

They should have invited the Rooneys...

A bride was assaulted at her wedding by her new brother-in-law - who was also the best man, a court heard.

Tomos Rhydian Wilson, 29, went on a drunken rampage at his brother's reception - saying his sibling should never have married her, it is claimed.

Wilson threw punches at bride Erin Mason-George and even grabbed her by her wedding dress - pulling her downstairs, a court heard.

He assaulted his brother's new wife, her two sisters and her mother, and hurled abuse at the family, a court was told.

Wilson is facing five charges of assault and two charges of criminal damage at Aberystwyth court.

Wilson, who was the best man at the wedding, had assaulted Erin, two of her sisters and her mother, as well as a manager at Lampeter's Falcondale Hotel, Wales, it is claimed.

Prosecutor Kevin Challinor said on July 27, Wilson, of Swansea, had reacted angrily when the family tried to get his brother Steffan to go to bed as he was drunk.

While they tried to help Steffan upstairs, Wilson started hurling abuse at the Mason-George family, it is said.

He said his brother should never have married Ms Mason-George and that he was "no longer a Wilson", the court was told.

Ms Mason-George told the trial that things escalated with Wilson trying to throw punches at her.

He grabbed her wedding dress and pulled it, causing her to fall down a flight of stairs, the court heard.

Mr Challinor said that during the incident Wilson assaulted Ms Mason-George's mother, Linda, and her younger sister Dion, and also grabbed Ms Mason-George's other sister, Cally, by the neck, causing reddening.

Wilson is also charged with damaging the hotel manager's shirt and fixtures and fittings at the Falcondale.

He denies all the charges and defence solicitor Tom Roberts said the incident had been sparked by Ms Mason-George and her family.

He said Wilson had reacted after seeing Ms Mason-George first slap and swear at his brother, before seeing her and her family assisting Steffan Wilson up the stairs where he claimed Ms Mason-George had pushed him, causing him to fall.

Mr Roberts said both Ms Mason-George and her sister Cally had thrown punches at Mr Wilson and that Ms Mason-George later threw a vase and glass bottle at him, which she denied.

Giving evidence on Tuesday morning, Harry Wilson, the other best man, said he saw Erin Mason-George "slap" Steffan Wilson saying it was time for bed.

He said he saw Steffan Wilson fall down stairs and Tomos Wilson went to help him, but said Erin Mason-George threw punches at Tomos Wilson, which connected, while other members of her family "lunged" at Steffan Wilson.

Harry Wilson said Tomos Wilson had not assaulted anybody and had got away from the area while he helped Steffan Wilson.
