Many things can ruin a bride’s special day - bad cake, weird relatives, a lame DJ.

And, of course, an off-target spiral.

THE ST. PETERSBURG TIMES reports that a couple in Florida has filed suit over a 2003 incident in which a thrown football smashed into the jaw of just-married Claudette Siar, who was putting out a cigarette in an ashtray.

According to the paper, “she collapsed into (her husband’s) arms, droplets of blood from her mouth flecking her full-length wedding dress and veil.”

Four years later, the Siars are looking for someone to pay - around $15,000 or more - for the football pass they say destroyed their wedding day. They’ve targeted the managers of the Pier, the spot in St. Petersburg where the incident took place.

A little boy is believed to have thrown the errant ball. One has to wonder if Super Bowl-bound ex-Gator Rex Grossman (far right) was down from Gainesville at the time of the incompletion.
