Talk about your wedding bell blues. A 31-year-old Bellevue woman was pulled over by the State Patrol on her wedding day and arrested for DUI.

A Trooper noticed the woman driving erratically on I-405 and speeding at over 90 mph Saturday at about 6 a.m. Saturday, Aug. 21 near Northeast Eighth Street in Bellevue. She registered a blood-alcohol level about twice the legal limit.

The trooper processed the woman and then let her take a cab home in time to make it to her wedding in Burien.

The woman will face charges in King County District Court.
