A serial bride who had already married four times before she
was 24 and even made a vow never to marry again tied the knot to her new
partner, making it her fifth marriage at just 31.
Alison Smith had told her latest husband Matthew Hume, 48,
that she was not proud of her previous marriages and would never marry again.
However, the mother-of-two from Arbroath arrived at the
town’s registrars for the wedding ceremony

The unusual wedding party contained Alison’s mother Pat and
her husband George Greenhowe. George was actually Alison’s first husband in a
marriage that only lasted 10 days.
Marriage One: Alison married George Greenhowe but their
union only lasted 10 days after George ran off with Alison’s mother Pat.
The family was torn apart when George ran off with Alison’s
mother.
However time healed the rift and they made up and reportedly
even all lived in the same caravan together at one point.
George and Pat themselves tried to get married at a
registrars office but were told because of the close family connections the law
would not allow it.
They were eventually married in a humanist ceremony with
Alison as bridesmaid. She is now said to call her first husband ‘dad’.
Marriage Two: In 2004, Alison was all set to marry fiancee
Peter Knight, but Peter got cold feet the day before the wedding and ran off.
Alison, who was eight months pregnant with her daughter,
turned to his friend, 18-year-old Daniel Innes, who agreed to step in as the
groom. They were married four days later.
At the time she married Daniel, Alison said, ‘I feel certain
I’ve done the right thing by marrying Daniel.
‘He makes me feel so secure.
‘When he heard Peter wouldn’t marry me, Daniel said he would
instead.’
However, family pressures resulted in that relationship
falling apart and Alison was back in the divorce court and on the lookout for a
new man.
Marriage Three: Having divorced Daniel due to ‘family
pressures’, Alison married Willie McKellican.
She soon discovered he was already married.
He was investigated by the police for bigamy but no charges
were brought. Alison left him.
Marriage Four: Alison married Alex Shepherd, a friend of her
first husband George.
He divorced her after discovering she was having an affair
with Matthew Hume, 48.
Marriage Five: Alison and Matthew married at Arbroath town
hall. The service was attended by her family including her mother and
stepfather and ex-husband George.
Alison said when she met her latest love, ‘Matthew knows how
many times I have been married in the past and he knows how I feel.’
When asked outside the wedding about their plans for the
future the couple declined to comment.
Her first husband and now stepfather George Greenhowe said,
‘She is happy and just wants to be left alone.’
