A BRIDE suffered an horrific wedding night attack when her husband repeatedly punched her in the face.
The drunken assault caused the "immediate and final termination" of the marriage, Worcester magistrates heard.
Kenneth Lundy, of Brookthorpe Close, Warndon, was celebrating tying the knot when he began drinking after the ceremony on Friday, June 27.
The revelry continued into the evening when Lundy went to Tramps nightclub, in Angel Place, with some friends, while his wife, Michelle, continued drinking with others.
