Wedding Day Nightmare: Sister-in-Law Douses Bride in Black Paint

A British bride, Gemma Monk, was drenched in black paint by her sister-in-law Antonia Eastwood moments before her May 2024 wedding in Maidstone, amid an ongoing feud tied to Eastwood’s own nuptials; Eastwood, 49, received a 10-month jail sentence (suspended for 12 months) on two counts of criminal damage, plus 160 hours of community service. Gemma has since battled depression and been unable to work, and she and her husband Ken Monk canceled a planned Maldives honeymoon. Eastwood had been banned from the ceremony, and the judge described the incident as turning the day into a nightmare for Gemma.
