‘Time traveller’ flies 3,500 miles for wedding... a year too soon

A MAN has been dubbed “the time traveller” by friends after he jetted 3,500 miles for a wedding — only to find he was a year early.

Dave Barclay flew in to Cardiff International Airport, South Wales, from Toronto, Canada, where he works as a teacher. Friend Dave Best, of Cardiff, sent him an email at the beginning of 2007 and mentioned he was getting married on July 6.

Although Mr Barclay, who is in his early 30s, never received an invitation he bought himself a ticket for the UK. Despite thinking it unusual the wedding was apparently taking place on a Friday, he failed to suspect his mistake.
