MOST people who get cold feet usually bail before the ceremony but spare a thought for one Central Coast man who has put himself in the running for the title of worst groom of the year.

The 22-year-old, who witnesses described as being affected by alcohol, managed to get through the wedding service in a park by the water on Brick Wharf Rd at Woy Woy on April 30.

But things went south in the limousine on the way to the reception at Mantra Ettalong Beach.

A NSW Ambulance spokesman said emergency services were called shortly before 6pm “following reports of a person jumping out of a moving car” on Park Rd near the intersection of Burge Rd.

Brisbane Water duty officer Inspector Nigel Webber said a number of police responded after the man jumped from the limousine and “was now becoming hostile”.

Up to five police were called with a witness describing the scene as a bizarre stand-off in which the man allegedly began raving “the bridesmaids have shot someone” and “why are you trying to arrest me?”

Police eventually managed to get the man into the back of a police van and he was taken to Gosford Hospital escorted by an ambulance.

“He may have been under the influence of something or some things,” Insp Webber said.

No charges were laid.

The Express Advocate understands members of the bridal party were left stunned when he inexplicably opened the door of the moving limo and jumped out without warning.

It is understood the groom allegedly drank alcohol to deal with pre-wedding jitters.

A witness said his 25-year-old bride initially called off the reception but it later went ahead awkwardly without him.

“That’s $10,000 down the drain,” she said.
