Goth Bride Assaulted On Her Wedding Day For Her Appearance

terrybezer / News / 05/11/2009 16:58pm

gothbride_90Metal Hammer is both shocked and saddened to hear that a bride was hospitalized after being beaten by three men on her wedding day.

The incident occurred this past Saturday (Halloween) in Sheffield. At around 12:15am, after Lucy and Edward Emmingham had enjoyed their wedding reception, the pair were set upon by three spineless thugs.

“We were on the steps outside waiting for a taxi when three men started being abusive and insulting me about my dress and the way I looked,” Lucy told The Daily Mirror. “Edward politely asked them to stop and the three of them turned nasty.”

“I was pushed down the steps and knocked unconscious. I was out for three minutes. While I was out cold there was a bit of scuffling and the men left but one of my friends was also injured and Edward was shaken.”

Lucy’s mum Andrea Moffatt also told the Mirror: “She has a massive black eye and bruises all over. She’s also completely skinned her forearms. Those men ruined a wonderful day.

“Lucy looks a little different but to taunt and attack her because of that is disgusting.

“Luckily she was fit enough to travel so they have flown to Turkey on honeymoon.

“They are shaken up and I only hope they can enjoy it.”

Metal Hammer can only hope that these three individuals are caught and brought to justice. We wish Lucy Emmingham a very speedy recovery.

Spineless, cowardly cunts.

king of heavy metal

saw this in the paper yesterday and was sickened, why cant people just stop violence alltogether chavs fight metalheads and goths and vice versa why cant both sides stop before it gets way too out of hand, and saying that i live in the worst area for it all the medway towns

NINTallica

Hope they catch those who did it, wishing you a full recovery. What is wrong with people?

Mike Palmer

bastards. some people make me sick

absolute cunts, send them down.

Fucking bastards. Cant believe violence can still go on like this in the 21st century. Who the fuck would hit a woman as well? fucking chav cowards thats who

Ignorant Tosspot Shit Fucks.

Unbelievable. The fact that it was their wedding day makes it even worse. Fucking scumbags.

TheInnovator

There’s nothing more I can add that other people haven’t said, disgusting, vile – inhuman, I really do despise people who do this kind of thing. I wish Lucy a speedy recovery.

Cherry Pie

Wow, just wow, after Sophie Lancaster you’d think these pathetic judgmental sack of shits would have realised we are human and can feel and die like them but obviously not! Congrates to Edward and Lucy on their marriage though and personally Lucy I fucking LOVE your hair!! It’s time to take a stand against these chavs, facists and dictators. As my Grandad puts it ‘If I knew when I was fighting the Germans my country would grow up full of facists anyway I wouldn’t have fucking bothered!’

HUGS BIG HUGS to you both and hope your eye mends ok Lucy xxxx

MAD SPANNER

sophie lancaster springs to mind…..

absolutly disgusting.

Mothmonsterman

Fucking spineless turds. People like that should be put to sleep.

Miranda Adria

Absolutely unforgivable. I truly hope they catch those bastards and give them what they deserve.

Fucking wankers. I hope someone beats the shit out of them for no reason as well. What right did they think they had to do that??!!

lets find them and do the same to them, stupid fucks! hope the newly weds enjoy their honeymoon :-)

It’s appaling to be attacked for looking different but, sadly, that’s the way it will always be. People have always been attacked for being different to someone else and it doesn’t look like changing anytime soon…

ahahahahahah

aahahahahahahahah

She looked wicked! Yet another reason to hate chavs. Even though i do hate chavs, i would never attack them just for being a chav. Its very out of order.

“Guest Jamie Johnstone, 21, was also taken to hospital after a piercing was torn out of her lip. And one thug punched a 14-year-old girl in the back of the head.”

That was also reported on the daily mirror.

So basically these thugs picked on three girls and one was 14 year old, obviously becuase they are so tough and can fight near enough anybody. I fucking hate cunts like these, there is no excuse they are fucking waste of space and Mothmonsterman has the right idea about what should be done to them!!!

Pussies!

its a fucked up world that people do this kind of shit and get away with it… well so far anyway… they will be caught and brought to justice.

hope Lucy and Edward have a great honeymoon and marriage though! :)

I’d like to see them try that again with Rob Flynn, Kerry King, Phil Anselmo and Ghaal nearby. Then let’s see how tough they are!

Danielle

That is just horrible, what the hell is wrong with people!!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Toss a bit of Zakk Wylde in for good measure. I hope the catch these cunts and throw the god damned book at em.

Anti chav

Fucking cunts no wonder i go round beating the crap out of some myself some times. 1 justice 2 I hate them and 3 tribute for sophie lancaster. I’m proud i go i beat one up it’ll show we’re not afriad of them.

That’s pissed me off, I’m a student living in Sheffield and there is quite a large metal crowd here and I’ve been fortunate not to get any grief for the way I dress here, which is what I love about the city, but it seems in some parts it happens, just like everywhere else in the country.

Fuckin Cunts, Lucy looked beautiful ^.^

Fukken retarded pricks…
How could they hurt her and not her husband? I’m not saying they should have hurt anyone but if they were gonna go attack someone why not go for someone who was a match for them but no, they pick a woman who should be enjoying the happiest day of her life and ruin it not only that day but taint every anniversary…selfish spineless dickheads…

LUCY LOOKED GORGEOUS! I love her hair colour and her tattoos…
I hope they are happy together for a very long time and can put this behind them…

^^^^^^^^^ I’d like to add Slipknot’s Mick, Shawn and Sid (just because he’s effin crazy) to the above list lol…

Unfortunately I don’t think its just the way people look, its definately an “easy target” thing. I’m a full on metal disciple and I grew up on a fairly rough council estate where I stood out like a sore thumb.

Fortunately over the years I proved I could look after myself when it came down to it – so the chavs and inbreds now dont bother me and in fact are fairly respectful.

I realise not everyone’s that lucky.

Unfortunately this is the way the world is at the moment – yes….it sucks.

The only way to change it is fight fire with fire. Instead of lamenting how wrong they are in the first place, maybe we as a community should start fighting back and being more assertive – a swift New Rock to the scrote is gonna hurt like the feck!!!

Then these spineless fucks might start to get the message.

Anyway…best wishes to the happy couple – i hope that they reproduce like bunnies on their honeymoon and create a whole army of super goths that will eradicate the chav from our society lol

Fucking spineless cowardly cunts, lets see how how much they’d like it the living shit out of them, and who is so fucking cowardly that they beat up a women and a fucking 14 year old. For cunts like these death is too good for them.

Has no one learned from poor Sopie Lancaster?…

Behaviour like this is just mindless and disgusting beyond comprehension, I hope those spineless c*nts get their come upence. And then some…

As much as I, and I’m sure everyone else commenting this article, wants a go at the twats who did this, we’d be no better than them in the end…

peter corby

this is sick and pointless, i dont see what they hoped to achieve with mindless violence. i was bullied at school for the same thing. i hope she recovers soon and her new husband. Congratulations to them for staying strong.

K Henderson

The worst part is our legal system will let them off easy. I don’t think its just down to the metal community to fight back but also our society and our legal system to start fighting back.

wade666

just more proof that mindless violence is a common accurance in todays society.the punishment for these offences should be far far tougher.our law system is pathetic.all my best wishes

Moshtank

It sickens me when Good old fasioned metal people are treated like 2nd class citizens
metal was here before chavs
its so sad that they can’t handle her amounts of metal
this is where the defenders of faith come in….
the Dof will ride in and strike down the assholes who did this, decapitate them, mutilate the corpses and impale the heads on spikes…. the rest is up to Clown from slipknot and a dildo…use your imagination for that bit
i hope she makes a speedy recovery…..
also longest post ever!!!

violence is great but with a reason, fucking bastards.

there should be like a secret vigilante society dedicated to protecting the streets from fuckers like these with member on each side of every road;)

theoutlawtorn

It’s such a sad indicment of modern day society that this sick incident has occured!!

Hope that these clowns are charged accordingly!!

“As much as I, and I’m sure everyone else commenting this article, wants a go at the twats who did this, we’d be no better than them in the end…”

Really? These people clearly aren’t interested in living in a moral world. If it weren’t for the fact I’d get arrested myself, I’d happily kill them.

Please, if they get those assholes.. Hang them after beating them up.

Matthew Fern

Dirty fuckers!
Best recovery to you madam!
Not every day a goth has to be expolited like this!

Fucking twats. On her wedding day aswell.
What the fuck do they gain by ruining someone’s big day for being a metalhead.
It’s pathetic, sick and disgusting.

Get better soon, you looked gorgeous, don’t listen to the cunts.
xx

All i can say is im so glad they went on their honeymoon. Im never really suprised anymore by this kind of crap. I hope they enjoy their time in turkey and never change. Keep it metal guys. I can safely say the entire metal community stands with you.

@Matt fair point I guess, eye for an eye and all that shizz.

I do hope they still have a good time on their honeymoon, just such a shame that what’s supposed to be the most memorable day of their lives will be remembered for the wrong reasons :(

BigDaddy92

Nothing surprises me anymore when it comes to what people can do to each other

I’d love to be left alone in a room with those three stupid cunts and an array of torture devices. People like that make me sick. I hope they enjoy their honeymoon and have a long life together.

My god. This could have been Sophie Lancaster all over again.

I am speachless that this ignorance still goes on, but then again what can you expect from lesser ‘humans’.

All the best to Lucy and Edward. Keep the faith guys and a speedy recovery.

Cunts. I hope their mums are proud of them.

A similar thing happened to me, except it wasn’t my wedding day, and my face wasn’t as beat up as that.

The idea that people like this have no morality as to do this to a woman who meant them no harm at all, and was just trying to enjoy her day, it’s just horrible.

I really hope they enjoy their honeymoon though, it’s much deserved! :)

JDPower

Fuckin wankers!!!

T-Shirt Guy

Im a goth in a chav infested part of Scotland, but ive been lucky the only comments I get are about ‘halloween is over’ and shit like that. But if it ever came to a point where I was physically threatended, I would have no problem in kicking there fucking burberry clothed heads in, and enjoy it as well. I wish these defenders of the faith all the best with their honeymoon, and that the spineless, dickless thugs who did this get whats coming to them

puresincerity

(angry, can`t write)

This is just really fucked up! just beacuse she dosen’t wanna look like a fucking brintye clone!! i feel really sorry for her. How low to “first of all” hit a girl!!!!! and second just beat up a person beacuse she looks different! really makes me sick! glad that i don’t have taht problem i Copenhagen.
My heart goes out to you!! Get well.
cheers from Denmark

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNMfZ3CZco0 – most satisfying thing I’ve ever watched

Yeah, they’re tough. Hitting an innocent woman in the face, that’s cool.

Fucking twats.

fucking disgrace!

Jonah_1978

you people are insane. that girl clearly deserved it!

1. she’s fat
2. she’s ugly
3. she’s a stupid blasphemous goth
4. she’s a woman and The Holy Bible says men can do anything to women! they were disciplining her and were right to do so!

you are all contradiciting the word of GOD!!!!

not only that but you’re cursing and invoking violence upon those courageous men! i will pray for those men and i will pray for all of you who have lost their way! defending people like that is wrong! this is the Word Of GOD!

What’s wrong with this country? I see this happening more and more and it’s just plain sad.

The poor couple will never be able to look back at what was supposed to be the happiest day of their life with any kind of happiness.

The bastards that did this should be publicly flogged.

Words fail me! What spineless little shi*tes, hitting a woman on her wedding day.
I wish Lucy a speedy recovery and hope her and Edward have a happy life together, and that they can put this behind them.

JASON CRAIG

Lowlife scumbags cancer is too good for them.

Im so sorry this has happened yet again. A section of the society we live in cannot stand people being different to them. I really hope these dicks are brought to justice. It really doesnt make sense how people can be so spineless. I for one would love to give the same back to these chavs, chain them up and beat the shit of of them. Disgraceful!
In fact, I think victims of spineless assaults like this should be able to twat the fuck out of their assaulter!! Maybe then they may just learn a lesson!

Diamorphis

So the thugs go home feeling bad boy ’cause they can beat up girls, Edward and Lucy gets to see Turkey. I know who I’d rather be hanging out with now.

Seeing as the chavs are so big I assume they want to comment on their actions.

Rebecca

Sounds like three guys in Sheffield deserve a New Rock boot to the face!

louise burt

how dare that asshole say theses fucking chave’s were working in the name of god who th hell do you think you are things like this are not allowed in this country you fuck wit!!!!!!

Hope she recovers and has a wonderful hoeymoon, she deserves it. I hope the police catch the spineless morons and throw the book at them.

JASON CRAIG

@ Jonah_1978 Don’t pray for me you fucking prick,get off your knees and go and seek medical help you need it.

I fucking LOLed at that vid Nico, made my day :D

Spineless cowards to hit a woman, especially on the biggest day of her life. Disgraceful!

@ Nico, loved the clip, got exactly what was coming to him

poor lady, fuck those twats
they look like a lovely couple :)

bullies are the scum of the earth.
heres hoping that your honeymoon was ok and that you both made a full recovery from your awful ordeal.

This just makes me sick thinking assholes like that can do something like that, I really hope thet get brought to justice.

btw Lucy if you read this, I love the picture, you look great and congratulations to you both for youe wedding, good luck to you.

Jonah_1978 why are you here? You are clearly insane.

@MH – I thought this place was moderated?

Does any one else think that Metal Hammer should start a nationwide campaign in a similar vein to S.O.P.H.I.E
(Stamp Out Prejudice Hate & Intolerance)?

Metabolic

I have to share the general disgust at this and similar behaviour, next thing; “what can we all do about it!” Suggest you open up a new contact facility to unify initial response to such incidents on this website!
“This is not the first or the last”, so lets sort this shit out now while we can.

Let’s “ask them the question, what’s wrong with their mind? WHAT’S. WRONG. WITH. YOUR. MIND? It’s time to RISE”.

fuck people. have you seen what Jonah_1978 has written? LOOK NOW!!!!

Fuck off you god wanker CUNT!!! Die and burn you fucking scum! I bet you have no fucking friends. That is why you sculk around in places in which you dont belong looking for people to preach to. All god cunts are the same. And i dont mean religious people. I mean preaching fucking wankers like him. You pathetic sad cunt!

oh, ps Joah 1978, dont you FUCKING DARE pray for me! save it for yourself. You need it.

completely fucking out of order, what the fuck is wrong with them people. i bet there just jealou that she is lucky enough to be married and loved unlike those wankers

good luck lucy, speedy recovery

Those of you getting riled up by Jonah_1978’s comments…don’t. It’s obviously a troll, don’t feed it.

IAN G MITCHELL

sick fucking chava cunts, hang the bastards

nailman

scalp the fuckers.. who does that to a bride on her wedding day?

chavs were not workin in the name of god.
chavs DO NOT WORK EVER…
chavs would rob gods iphone given the fuckin chance filthy fuckin animals.

it takes a real man to hit a 14 year old girl…

jesus, and i thought the chavs round here were bad enough. sad thing is, they usually get away with it.
some people should have been aborted before birth

I love the fact we are all so riled – resistance and pride and unity – its what makes us British. We’re an island race, we’re born to fight and defend ourselves, its in our blood.

Its in our instinct to fight when we feel threatened – lets not deny that most basic human emotion and lets do something about it – before more of us become victims like this poor lady.

None of the pascifist malarky – the next time a chav stares at you get right up in the monkeys face and ask him “WHAT THE FUCK HIS PROBLEM IS” – see how quickly thry start to back down – why let intimidation be the weapon of the chav – no more victims – let us all unite and drive the chav underground.

They are all deep down cowardly little cunts (which incidently is why they hang around in numbers – they have no identity on their own – they need a group) so lets divide, isolate and destroy these scummy little inbreds at the first sign of trouble.

omg that is just sick.. why do people always do this.. big deal people look different to others.. big deal..

the are cowards.. i agree with all who say they are.. attack in groups.. yeeeeah.. but if you see them on there own.. they shit a brick and run..

we should fight back..

metalhoop

man , there are some narrow minded brain dead fucks in this world !! why would they want to hurt too people just about to have one of the most important days of there lives ? people like these need to be hung by there tiny , tiny balls. i hope both the bride and groom recovery o.k. and go and finish what you were about to do, and get married !!! good luck to you both .

Jonah_1978, go be unfunny somewhere else.

I’m sure she had it coming.

YES,YOU LOVE ME, YOU FUCKING POSERS.

The trouble is all these brain-dead bastards are allowed to get away with a slap on the wrist whenever they get caught. A fucking very long prison sentence should be mandatory for all kinds of violence particularly when its hate crime against someone who is ‘different’- no-one is different-we are all fucking people except for the perps of these crimes.
If you nick some money from the taxman etc you are banged up- where’s the fucking humanity?
I blame the politicians and the fucking human rights act protecting the rights of scumbag violent cunts.

Loraine

Gutless morons, they will get theirs. Hope the couple can put this behind them and have a wonderful life together.

I commented earlier on, I just find it so amazing how much support everyone has for this.

Nothing that those ignorant, cowardly, childish fucks can be justified. It is wrong. End of. You don’t see people like Lucy marching up to a group of skinny tracksuit clad cunts and laugh in their face, hurt them and ruin what should be the best day of their life. It’s just them and nothing else.

It’s beautiful to see so much support, and so much disgust for what has happened. Yet it is so ugly that someone has had to go through such a terrible thing.

I hope someone gives those wankers whats coming to them. I know I would.

Who here wouldnt fully enjoy seeing those three cunts beings fuckin sliced and burnt, and shat on

Jonah_1978

fuckin scrotal growth
die in a hole
may the spirit of metal shit on your fuckin face

Fuck that fucking bullshit! There are no words I can use to describe the absolute rage I am feeling over this.

We are a metal community and as a community we need to stand together and say ‘NO FUCKING MORE!!!’

From Australia with love.

This incident absolutely disgusted me. The fuckers who did this have no respect for themselves or other people and hopefully will be brought to book. Lucy and Edward should have had a wonderful, peaceful and fear free wedding day just like anyone else. Lucy looked lovely – I wore a purple wedding dress myself, no silly bouffy white chavtastic horrors for me either!

We have the right to dress how we like and to listen to the music we love without persecution. I’m an older metalhead and I go out of my way to impress to people that as a community although we may listen to music that is not perceived to be mainstream, that there is a style of metal for absolutely everybody (my 64 year old Dad now likes HIM, Nightwish and Within Temptation thanks to me) and that metalheads are some of the nicest people I’ve ever had the pleasure to meet.

As for Jonah_1978, if you give silly little immature boys attention they will feel validated. Don’t rise to the bait people!

Magnús Halldórsson

These motherfuckers deserve outlaw justice, no justice system will give them what they deserve.

slayerella

both my fiancee and i have been ostracized just because we refused to lie back and accept our fate as mindless sheep brainwashed by mainstream drivel, he has had fights picked with him, verbal abuse and constant torment from ignorant morons who believe that iron maiden are ‘devil worshipers’ and that ac/dc stands for ‘anti-christ/devils children’! i have had to endure years of abuse myself, its unbelievable how some people can be so superficial and narrow minded to other peoples music and way of life, those chavs are cowards. on a lighter note, tom araya will strike them down as the swine they are!
p.s. lucy and edward, you looked great, stand tall and dont let those fuckers bring you down. keep it metal!

slayerella

also, i agree with fats, the few metal heads in australia need to stand the fuck up and rise above these chavs!

The thing that sickens me most about this story is the comments. People are getting too hung up on it being about metal vs chavs.

The fact is, someone got attacked who didn’t deserve it. And it doesn’t matter whether she was a metalhead, a chav or someone who loved fecking reggae, it’s still disgusting.

I’m not saying for a second that this isn’t something to get pissed off about, but when we can stop this whole us vs them mentality, maybe we’ll actually get somewhere as a fecking race.

By race, I mean species, before anyone goes down that route

Unite brothers and sisters of METAL

These chavs are spineless coward deadbeat fuckheads. Chavs aren’t human, they are inbred SWINE! Ugly shit eating mother fuckers! The law isn’t gonna be on her side, the police will say “a few years” IF they are caught, which will turn into a few months. We have to take the law into our own hands.

FUCKING INBRED SCUM!!!!!

lucy emmingham

i just want to thank everyone for their support. im so glad to see all the alternative community come together and wish me well. i dont think there are more supportive and unjudgemental people than the metal/goth/punk/alternative folk.
and in my husbands favourite magazine site.
thank you so much. and im looking and feeling much better.

xxxx

lucy emmingham

terrybezer

Glad to hear that, Lucy.

You have the full support of everyone here at Metal Hammer and we’re delighted to hear that you are on the road to recovery.

matthew davidson

I personally wish you and your new husband well, and to quote one Earl Hickey “Karma is a bitch”

Matt d

Pharnam

They should be found, strung up by thier testicles and beaten with a big fucking bat!
All the best to the newly weds
