A Legion Wedding in Carbonear, Interrupted Before the Bouquet

A wedding reception at the Royal Canadian Legion branch in Carbonear, N.L., ended earlier this month in an angry outburst. CBC reports that high-profile legionnaire and veteran Berkley Lawrence confronted the bride as she prepared to throw her wedding bouquet. The setting and the timing are what make it a story: a Legion hall reception is about as conventional as a wedding gets, and the bouquet toss is the most ceremonial minute of the night — the part nobody expects to become a confrontation.
