Bigamist wife, 35, exposed after her hubby saw pics of her new wedding on FACEBOOK
A BIGAMIST wife was caught out after her shocked husband spotted her new wedding pictures on Facebook.
Cardiff Crown Court heard the Everards were living together in the same house and were legally married when she walked down the aisle with her new "husband".
Mum-of-four Lisa lied to her legal husband of fours years that the picture was her being a bridesmaid at a friend's wedding and he had nothing to worry about.
Prosecutor Mark Battrick said: "Mr Everard was devastated. He was distraught at what he had seen.
"He described feeling numb and said his world had turned upside down."
The court heard Everard then confessed to her bigamy - and left their large country home to move into a terraced former council house with Mr Hughes.
Peter Donnison, defending, said Everard had no previous convictions and added her new husband Mr Hughes is sticking by her.
He told the court Everard said the relationship with her husband was over "some years prior to her re-marrying".
The court heard her salesman husband had lost a stone in weight after discovering his wife's second wedding in July this year.
The judge said the impact on Mr Everard was not just emotional but financial, as he was providing for their two children, aged two and three, by himself. Lisa also has two children from a previous marriage.
Judge Philip Harris-Jenkins said: "You should have bore all of that in mind before you acted in the selfish way that you did.
"This was not an act of naivety. This was a deception."
The court heard Lisa Everard had suffered post natal depression after the birth of her youngest child.
But the judge spared her prison by saying it was not in the public interest to impose an immediate custodial sentence.
Instead, Lisa was made the subject of a rehabilitation requirement and she will have to carry out 150 hours of unpaid work.
After the hearing Mr Everard's father, John, 67, said: "It's such a sensitive issue for Elliott and for us as a family.
"Their children are usually here with us and it's been very hard on my son but we are helping him through it.
"Lisa's third and latest marriage is now legally void. So she and Elliott will have to divorce if she wants to do it properly."
After walking free, Lisa Everard said: "I have been through enough now.
"This has been unbelievable stressful and tough on me and my kids.
