Man convicted after lifting disapproving mother out of wedding ceremony

A US man faces charges after authorities said he carried his mother out of a church when she arrived to stop his wedding.

The Record-Courier reported that Justin Lew Harris of Gardnerville, Nevada carried his 56-year-old mother out of the church as she loudly objected to the ceremony.

Church volunteer Jim Jameson said Harris’ wedding at the Carson Valley United Methodist Church was called off after the disruption. He did not know what the mother’s objections concerned.

The 35-year-old Harris faces misdemeanour disorderly conduct and coercion charges.

He was released from jail on his own recognisance.
