Man Cuts Off Testicles, Delays Wedding

[ashling]

A couple's wedding was delayed after a man allegedly cut off his testicles before storming into a church just an hour before the ceremony was to take place.

****

A wedding guest who arrived early told the Brentwood Weekly News that the vicar would not let him enter the church because a man had cut off his testicles with a pair of scissors.

****

After being taken to a hospital, police referred the man to a mental health assessment, according to the Brentwood Gazette.

Despite Essex Police wishing to close the church to further investigate the incident, the wedding went along a half hour later. The bride was not informed what caused the delay until after the wedding.

2. I assumed from the headline that the testicles in question

were those of the groom, but apparently not, since the wedding was delayed for only a half-hour.

I wonder if the man who gelded himself was a distraught old boyfriend?

6. As did I.

My thought was, "Well, I should hope so! Perhaps indefinitely."

4. Nothing says whether the nutter even knew the couple, but...

whilst researching self-castration I came across this:

You do not have to die to receive a Darwin, merely remove yourself from the gene pool.
