"You're not the one I had imagined". Groom divorces bride on wedding day.

I know about blind dates but ‘blind marriages?’ I can’t deal. A Saudi groom divorced his bride after seeing her face for the first time when the photographer asked them to pose for pictures.
The couple who never met each other one-on-one during their courtship period had agreed to seal their union this year and on the D-day, the bride was shocked out of her wits when she removed her veil and  heard her groom scream,
‘You are not the girl I want to marry. ‘You are not the one I had imagined. I am sorry, but I divorce you.’
And that was it!

So this Chelsea fan sold his car just to sit close to Mourinho.

Wow! I wish I could get Mourinho’s reaction to this. He wanted to sit next to the Chelsea manager at a tennis tournament; the World Tour Finals between Andy Murray and Roger Federer, ticket was damn too expensive (I think) so, he sold his car.
Then came the moment he had been waiting for. The world had to know the extent he had gone just to sit with the Special One. He decided to tell his story via a banner 
I want to believe Mourinho saw the banner and was like…..Stupid? ….most likely.
