Bride's bouquet crashes plane in Italy

ROME — A romantic wedding in the Tuscan countryside ended with injuries after an attempt to launch the bride's bouquet from a plane brought down the tiny aircraft. Italian police say two people were hurt in the crash of the ultralight plane after the bridal bouquet they launched got caught in the aircraft's rear rotor.

The flowers blocked the engine, bringing the plane down by a youth hostel.

Police in the nearby town of Piombino said Tuesday the pilot was lightly injured in Saturday's crash, while the passenger who threw the bouquet had several broken bones.

The bride and groom were not aboard the plane.

Hey, that might have been a funny episode of Wings! :lol:

I don't even want to imagine the mad dash the unwed girls at the wedding made for this bouquet. :eek: :lol:

^I agree it was probably a mad dash for bouquet. My uncle is a manager of rental car company store and one time he said that a woman who came in for a job interview had a black eye from being accidentally punched at a bouquet toss.

Ouch. :eek: :lol: They can be pretty rough, but I have caught two bouquets myself. Being tall and having long arms has its advantages. :lol:

I caught a bridal bouquet once and it hasn't worked because I'm still single ;(
