Bride doused by sister-in-law with black spray paint is still haunted by attack

HALIFAX, N.S. - It was supposed to be a quick bathroom break at the local Tim Hortons before the bride-to-be walked down the aisle.

But Nancy Rose knew her big day was about to turn ugly when she spotted an enraged woman in a tube top racing toward her, a can of spray-paint in her hand.

As members of the wedding party watched in disbelief, her sister-in-law began dousing the young bride with black paint, soiling her beaded gown and veil with sooty stains.

Rose’s limousine driver jumped in to help, pinning Michelle King against the car as the wedding party of cousins and a sister looked on.

When the driver tried to restrain her, King’s tube top fell down, exposing her breasts but giving her a chance to flee.

King, who is married to Rose’s brother, was given a conditional discharge Tuesday after pleading guilty to mischief charges stemming from the incident in July 2008.

Crown lawyer Jennifer MacLellan wouldn’t comment on the sentence, but said she hasn’t seen a case quite like this before.
