I DELIVERED A CALF... on my wedding day!

Jessa and Ben’s celebrations ended in a very unusual way

With a cow called Drama due to give birth around the time of Jessa and Ben Laws’ wedding, the couple should have known they would have a big day to remember.

“When we first booked the wedding date for April 24, I thought Drama would’ve already calved,” dairy farmer Jessa tells Woman’s Day.

“But as we got closer and she still hadn’t, I had visions of it happening on the day. It’s Murphy’s Law, isn’t it?”

But as Ben, 38, milked Drama on the morning of the wedding and she didn’t show any signs of being ready to give birth, they thought they’d got away with it.

Jessa, 33, readied her hair and makeup, and slipped into her dress, feeling optimistic.

“We’d already had to cancel our wedding once because of COVID,” she says.
