Wedding number four for woman, 24, who's mother ran off with her husband

Serial bride Alison Smith wed for the fourth time yesterday - at the age of 24.

It was the latest in a bizarre series of marriages for the young mum.

Alison's ex-husbands include a man who eloped with her own mum, a bigamist and a pal who stood in for her fiance when he jilted her the night before the wedding.

Yesterday, Alison tied the knot with Alexander Shepherd at Arbroath register office.
