A woman who cancelled her brother's wedding because she did not like his bride-to-be has been jailed for eight weeks.
Ann Duffy, of Plymouth, was also issued an indefinite restraining order against her brother's wife.
The 50-year-old had previously admitted harassment without violence. Prosecutors compared the case to an EastEnders' plot line.
Magistrate Graham Price said Duffy's conduct was "totally unacceptable".
Duffy impersonated her now sister-in-law Sandra in a phone call to Plymouth Register Office to tell them to cancel the ceremony.
She made the call on 5 November, 20 days before the wedding was due to go ahead.
The court heard she called her brother David Greatrex and told him: "You had better put this on speakerphone.
"I have saved you from a divorce. I have cancelled your wedding. Would you like me to send you the confirmation email?"
The couple contacted the police to say Duffy had impersonated Sandra and called off the ceremony.
