Merseyside groom sparked bomb hoax on wedding day after bungling the booking - Liverpool Echo
McArdle, of Medbourne Crescent, Kirkby, had planned to marry his fiance Amy Williams at Liverpool Register Office, within the iconic listed building, on April 24 this year.
The date was pencilled in and the pair were given “right to marry” paperwork to complete in order to legalise proceedings.
But by time the big day arrived, the hapless lovebird realised he had not completed the forms and knew the venue was not officially booked.
Panicking, he went to a phone booth near his home on the morning of the supposed wedding and rang St George’s Hall.
He told the receptionist: “There’s a bomb in St George’s Hall and it will go off in 45 minutes”, before putting the phone down.
