10. Donna Noble And Lance Bennett
OK, so maybe it's a
good thing that this an unrealistic expectation. At least
you'll never have to worry that your fiancé is secretly working for an extra terrestrial spider. And if it turns out that they are, you should probably cancel your honeymoons plans and run. Fast. Or just hop on a Segway and hope for the best. You know, whatever tickles your pickle. Such was the woeful case for Donna Noble, of course, when she lost her job, missed her wedding and became a widow on the same day... sort of... when it transpired that the man she'd been courting for... erm, all of 6 months, Lance Bennett, had been using her as a pawn in the Empress of the Racnoss' evil ploy to take over the entire world on Christmas Day. A devastating turn of events indeed, especially because Donna had literally
begged him to marry her, but that's what you get for rushing into things. You can never
quite be sure whether or not your other half is actually a malevolent minion abetting a giant half human arachnid underneath the Thames. And things just went from bad to worse for everybody's favourite temp from Chiswick when she vanished in a haze of huon energy as she made her way down the isle and later realised that her family and friends had gone ahead and had the wedding reception without her. Awkward. Still, Donna found her happily ever after in the end (albeit after forgetting that she'd ever met the Doctor at all) and Lance ultimately got what was coming to him, too. This time, it was personnel. If it ain't punny, it ain't funny.
