A Castlederg man has rejected an apology from the police after they interrupted his wedding on suspicion it was "a sham marriage".
The police wrongly arrested Neil McElwee and his pregnant fiancee, Yanan Sun, moments before the ceremony at the Guildhall in Londonderry on Tuesday.
Chief Inspector John Burrows said the police had acted in good faith, but sometimes they got things wrong.
Mr McElwee said "sorry" would not make up for the distress caused.
The couple were taken to a police station, forced to dress in forensic clothing and separated.
They were held for five hours and only released when their solicitor got involved. They were married the next day in nearby Castlederg.
The police told the couple they were acting on an anonymous tip-off.
They have accepted that they made a mistake and have apologised.
Have they accepted they are flaming idiots and a world wide laughing stock?
