Roz?

A Bronx bride was left at the altar, but it wasn't the groom who stood her up — it was the court clerk, who refused to marry the couple because she claimed to be tired and hungry.

"(The clerk's) upset with the staffing. She refuses to do any more (ceremonies)," the bride said, choking back tears as she used a brown paper bathroom towel to wipe her eyes.

Her groom, Harold Poueriet, 22, all decked out in a white Armani shirt with gray pinstripes, said, "(The clerk) says she's tired and she's hungry."

But Ortiz's wedding day was saved when a lawyer, court officers and a judge stepped in for the weak and weary clerk and performed the ceremony Friday.
