The wedding caterer was sick with E. coli on the couple's big day
Celebrity event planner Lisa Lafferty shares wedding trends she expects to see this summer
Lisa Lafferty, a California-based wedding planner, shared details of a summer wedding she did for an NFL player with Fox News Digital and spoke about a trend she's seeing of celebrities opting for more intimate, but still luxurious gatherings.
An engaged couple ran into quite the issue just hours before they tied the knot — but one restaurant came to the rescue.
Immie Teed and Josh Titmouth were set to get married in Exmouth, England, when the unthinkable happened to them.
The caterer for their 110-guest wedding came down with E. coli and couldn’t get out of bed — causing him to cancel on them within hours of their wedding.

Teed said that she and her husband-to-be had just arrived at the wedding venue when the caterer called to cancel, as SWNS reported.
"Josh, who knows him quite well, said, ‘If this is a joke, it’s not funny,’" Teed recalled about her new husband's words to the caterer.

With the clock ticking down to wedding time, Teed said she and the other wedding guests tried to figure out a quick solution to find food for their 110 guests.
"One of our bridesmaids offered to make a huge vat of curry," Teed said, before mentioning that her mother thought about calling a local spot for help.

"My mom had the idea to call Krispies. We love their food [and] we know they’re reliable," she told SWNS.
"We source everything with meticulous care, our fish is from sustainable stocks, our chips are hand-cut daily and all our food is cooked fresh to order," says Krispies on its website.

The owner of the local shop, Kelly Barnes, ended up driving to the wedding venue — just 10 minutes down the road — to see how she could help.
Barnes said that "the bride was beside herself," so she knew she had to make something work, SWNS noted.
After putting her staff to work, Barnes said she was able to deliver 110 meals in time for the wedding — mainly fish and chips.

"Our team [was] amazing and some stayed on after their shift ended to help," Barnes recalled to SWNS.
