Sham groom caught out after going straight to 'lads only' holiday Both he and his "bride," who was known as Louise, separated after the ceremony. Proctor married Thi Le with the same registrar, with Donnelly as a witness, which enabled Le's student visa to be renewed. But the scam was uncovered after Proctor went on a month-long "lads only" holiday to Benidorm just three weeks after the ceremony while his "bride" stayed behind in Lancashire. The gang arranged wedding ceremonies and provided pictures of the ceremonies to the Home Office as proof of their relationships. Yesterday at Preston Crown Court, the pair were each jailed for 10 months. Amanda Nolan (PA) Amanda Nolan, 28, Denny Wallace, 22, and Gemma Nelson, 28, all of Blackburn, were each handed suspended sentences for their part in the plot. All five were convicted of committing an act of deception to facilitate non EU nationals to remain or enter the UK. "They were paid large sums of month to enter into marriages of convenience, which were a complete sham." said Det Supt Julie Cross, from Lancashire Police. They spent a lot of time and money to deceive the authorities, creating the impression that they were genuine marriages. Miss Luu, a 24 year-old nail bar owner known, was the "spider at the centre of a web" was later arrested following a police raid but absconded from bail. Police say enquiries are ongoing to trace a further three people who are believed to be involved in the plot.
