BELLEVUE, Wash. (AP) — A 31-year-old bride heading home from her bachelorette party was arrested for drunk driving hours before she was to get married.

Washington State Patrol Trooper Christina Martin says the woman was driving over 90 mph Saturday morning and weaving in and out of traffic on Interstate 405 in Bellevue when she was stopped.

Martin says a trooper arrested the woman, processed her and let her take a cab home in time to make it to her early afternoon wedding in Burien.

Martin says the bride's alcohol level was nearly twice the legal state limit. The woman will face charges in King County District Court.

They take DUI's seriously in the US, Wom. Although I've seen some people get arrested more than once. Makes me sick. I LOVE going through DUI spot checks, only to tell the cops, I DON'T DRINK!!!
