Philippine bride sues groom who left her at the altar

A Filipina bride is suing her former fiance after he ran off with another woman before the wedding ceremony had even finished, the Philippine Star newspaper reported yesterday.

The couple had nearly finished saying their vows when a woman appeared at the back of the church and shouted that the wedding should stop, the newspaper said.

The groom - who had been about to say "I do" - hesitated before walking to the woman and hugging her, and the pair fled in a taxi, the newspaper added.

The bride says she suffered "irreparable damages" and has not slept well after the incident in December.

She is reportedly seeking 549,630 pesos (13,520 dollars) in damages.
