A Britain woman, Pat Higgins, 56- who has been branded "man-eater" held her ninth weddingceremony in Shields, Tyne and Wear, on 28th, May. The groom is 32 years her junior, Mark Sanderson.
The longest of Pat's marriages lasted five years and the shortest just five days.
Despite being married eight times previously - Pat still made mistake at the wedding. Unexpectedly, she placed the wedding ring on her husband's right ring finger.
Higgins said: "I'm an eternal optimist and have thought every marriage was going to work. I'm an unlucky person in the marriage. When I walk down the aisle with my ninth husband I make a secret vow to myself: No more weddings, this time it has to last forever."
Higgins said: "People call me a man-eater and a black widow, but I am not, I just like to be happy in life."
At the ceremony, Pat's side of the room was quite full, Mark's was very empty. It was obvious that Mark's family didn't approve.


被称作"少男杀手"的56岁英国妇人帕特•希金斯于当地时间5月28日在英国泰恩威尔郡再次披上了婚纱，举行了自己的第九次婚礼，新郎是比她小32岁的安德森。

希金斯的婚史最长为5年，最短的仅有5天。

虽然已经结了8次婚，但是希金斯还是在婚礼上犯了错，她竟将戒指带到了安德森的右手上。

希金斯说："我永远是个乐观主义者。我本以为我的每段婚姻都能持续下去。我在爱情中是个不幸的人。当我和我第九任丈夫安德森步入礼堂的时候，我会偷偷对自己发誓：我再也不结婚了，这次就会天长地久。"

希金斯表示："人们叫我少男杀手，或是黑寡妇。其实我不是，我只是想生活的快乐些。"

在礼堂现场，希金斯的家人纷纷到场，但是丈夫安德森的家人座席区却空空荡荡，很明显，男方家人对这桩婚事并不赞同。
