TMI Tuesday.....

June was in years past, the traditional month for getting married. Hence the old phrase June Bride. Well whatever month you got married, not everybody's honeymoon was fun and games.
I've compiled a little list of History's least romantic honeymoons.....

Attila the Hun, or the 'Scourge of God' to his friends, was a real ladies man according to historians. He had hundreds of concubines, and a dozen wives. On his honeymoon with his 12th wife Ildico, one of his arteries burst and he died...

Eva Braun, married longtime boyfriend Adolf Hitler on April 29, 1945. She celebrated her big night by swallowing poison. After her hubby blew his brains out, they were both cremated in the Reich Chancellery Garden...

The wedding night of Cesare Borgia, nephew of 16th Century Pope Alexander, was wrecked when a practical joker switched his regular medication for a bottle of laxative pills...

At the age og 28, famous Victorian author and art critic John Ruskin married his cousin Effie Gray. But on his wedding night, he found the sight of his wifes pubic hair so distressing that they never shared a bed again...They spent a sexless honeymoon in Venice, where he painted and took notes on the architecture. He also mused on the decline of the Venetian Empire. He promised to really try and bang her in 3 years time, but he chickened out and never did "dip the wick".........The marriage was annulled!!

John Harvey Kellogg of the Cornflake fame, spent his honeymoon night with Ella Eaton writing a 644 page tretise called "Plain Facts For Young and Old"...This included a 97 page essay about the secret vice of masturbation. He listed 39 telltale signs of how you could tell if a person was wanking off ...#7. Sleeplessness #11. Love of solitude #13. Unnatural Boldness. #14. Confusion of Ideas. #28. Use of tobacco. #30. Acne.....The marriage was never consumated!

In August 1994, Minnesota newlywed Greg McCloud broke his back while carrying his 280 pound bride Helen over the threshold. The ER doctor thought he was run over by a car...

German bride Amy Weltz, went to her wedding in Brisbane in September 1993, ignorant of the Aussi custom of smearing cake in the face of the spouse. When the new hubby Charles rubbed cake in her face at the reception, she responded by grabbing a bottle of wine and smashed him on his head, killing him instantly...

Japanese couple Sachi and Tomio Hidaki, married in 1978. They did not get around to do the 'wild thing' for quite some time...But after 14 years of waiting, they decided to give it a go.....
They both suffered fatal heart attacks!!!

According to Princess Di's biographer Andrew Morton, as a special honeymoon treat, Prince Charles read passages from the works of Carl Jung and Laurens van der Post...........

......Yikes!!!! Theres my TMI Tuesday list, feel free to contribute any Honeymoon Horrors of your own if you know of any.....Peace.... Galen

  9. How would you feel if you'd just married one of the worst monsters in history? Eva Braun just messed up when she administered the poison. I hope.

    Hope your day is going well.

  10. My ex hubby's best friend couldn't have sex on his honeymoon because of an injury at his bachelor party, the night before his wedding. It appears he and his best friend's younger brother were drunk and doing karate moves, acting like they were fighting each other. Jimmy kicked James and James ended up in the ER at 4am explaining to a doctor how he got kicked in the balls. The doc said no sex for 2-4 weeks ... Stephanie was PISSED!!!

  12. Well the number of weddings we do were I work where because of mainly drink I must say the honeymoons start with the bride and groom leaving seperately doesn't paint a good picture of modern honeymoons.

  13. LMAO!! I am laughing at tragedies of such magnitude!!!

    Shame on me!

    Well I remember one of my doctor friends [ gynecologist] telling me that a couple once came to them & complained of infertility of the woman. She was administerd hormones etc. for days to get her pregnant but to no avail. Finally , on interrogation it was revealed that for months they had thought that the 'seed was to be sown' through her navel!
