Dave Barclay, 34, flew home all the way to Wales from Toronto in Canada for a mates wedding 1 year early!!
It was only as he arrived at his mother's house near Cardiff that he realised he had travelled 4,000 miles for best mate Dave's wedding in July 2007 instead of July 2008!
Mr Barclay, a teacher in Toronto for three years, admitted he had assumed Dave's big day was this July when he received his friend's e-mail.
Best bit - Mr Barclay didn't tell his friend the complete truth and even tried to blame his girlfriend as she normally "sorts these things out!"
"He said to me you didn't come home specially for the wedding did you and I lied and said no. And he said "Thank God for that, I thought you were going to charge me for the cost of the (plane) ticket and the present then." Dave Barclay told BBC Radio Wales.
"Well, at least it's assured me a mention in the speech next year, I reckon."

Sad times as Sam leaves the brilliant team today, but, for a good cause as baby Stagg is on the way! After 3 years at Brilliant Weekends we couldn't let Sam go with out making a fuss so Chris organised a boat trip and barbeque.
First thing, the weather was shocking but then we got lucky as the sun started shining! Jack skipped off to buy some toys (including a £17 frisbee with a light on!!?!), Chris bought the booze and then we were ready to go. Setting off at 6pm from Hotwell Road we leisurely cruised along the river to Hanham Lock. After about an hour we stopped at a beautiful house where the owner was already turning the first batch of sizzling burgers from the local butchers. After fooling around with 'the' frisbee we polished off all the food before setting off back to Bristol at 8.45!
...and our fav picture - we found JT rather at home in the trees???
