A couple watched their wedding limo go up in flames in downtown Halifax on Saturday. Police say the newly married couple and the entire wedding party had stopped at the city’s Public Gardens for pictures when their limo burst into flames around 2pm. Fortunately the limo was empty at the time and all that was lost was the couple’s wedding certificate. With no way to get to the reception, Halifax police stepped in and gave the wedding party a police escort. All arrived safely at the reception in a pair of police cruisers.
