Bride Solves Four-Year Mystery of Unknown Wedding Guest in Photos

Michelle Wylie identified Andrew Helliman as the wedding crasher after a Facebook appeal, revealing he attended the wrong venue due to miscommunication, four years after her 2021 wedding.

  • Michelle Wylie finally identified an unknown man who had appeared in her wedding photos from November 2021 at Prestwick, Ayrshire, resolving the years-long question about his identity.
  • The mystery arose because Andrew Helliman, a painter from South Ayrshire, mistakenly attended Michelle's wedding instead of the intended ceremony at another venue.
  • Andrew arrived minutes before the ceremony, recognized only the bride and his partner who was part of the wedding party, stayed quietly during the 20-minute ceremony, and left unnoticed afterward.
  • After connecting on Facebook earlier this week, Michelle and Andrew met in person on September 11 to recount their experiences, with Michelle admitting she found the mix-up so amusing that she couldn’t stop laughing.
  • The resolution ended Michelle's years of wondering about the stranger, revealed Andrew's humorous mistake, and the pair plan to remain in contact following their meeting.
