    Not this one but have had many like it.

    That said I had one last year:

    Got an email from an English lady living in Sydney, marrying an American at a venue on a Tuesday in Dorset, UK..........definately sounded dodgy!

    Turned out to be 100% genuine, they were lawyers with freinds that came from all over the world.....great gig!

    We've taken REAL bookings from enquiries from USA, Canada, Australia and Dubai......

    but it's fairly easy to tell the real ones....... the emails don't read like they're 'standards' with different variables dropped in depending on who they are emailing!!!
