Weeks ago, we informed you of the guy who fought his wedding guests. The groom who punched two bridesmaids at his own wedding - leaving one with with a broken cheekbone - has now been jailed.

Samantha Dewar, 26, was knocked unconscious and had her cheekbone smashed, and both she and Rachel Walsh, 23, ended up with black eyes as a result of John Campbell's rampage.

Campbell, 27, admitted he ‘flipped’ while high on booze and cocaine.

His bride Nicola Plant, 26, was left slumped on the floor, sobbing: “My whole wedding is ruined.

Rachel, who is Nicola’s cousin, told how the horrific bust-up began after she had tried to stop Campbell from drink driving.

After marrying in church, Nicola and Campbell had hosted a reception for 100 guests in the Masonic Hall in Macclesfield, Cheshire.

Mum-of-two Rachel described how there was a great party atmosphere, with plenty of food, the drink flowing and a Karaoke for entertainment.

But she said the wedding reception ended in a drunken “10-minute nightmare” in the car park at 1am.

It turned nasty after most of the guests had left, when the wedding couple staggered out with a group of close relatives and friends.

Rachel said: “John had no money to get home and he got into the driver’s seat of someone’s car.

“He was drunk and I offered him £20 not to drive and take a taxi instead.

“I said, ‘Give me the keys’ and we were pushing and shoving each other.”

Bride Nicola ran over to try to get in the middle of the squabbling pair, but Campbell then punched Rachel in the eye and she punched him back.

Rachel said: “He was in a rage and wanted to hit me more, but Nicky was there.

“I staggered back and turned round to be sick. The other bridesmaid Samantha Dewar came over and I told her John had hit me.

“Samantha then started running after him, asking him what he had done that for.

“He calmly walked towards her and punched her. She fell down and she was out cold for two minutes.”

Shop assistant Rachel said there were cries and shouts from the guests, and Nicola was sitting down on the ground in her wedding dress, “screaming and screaming”.

Rachel said: “She was saying, ‘My whole wedding is ruined’ and ‘Why does it always have to be me?’

“John threw his wedding ring at her and walked off into the night. Nicky was hysterical on the floor.”

Staff at the Masonic Hall called the police, who arrived to take statements.

Campbell was jailed for 12 months by judge Roger Dutton at Chester Crown Court today.
