Fact Check

There is a trending HOAX story on the internet stating "Game Of Thrones Superfan Recreates Red Wedding Scene At His Own Wedding." For those that are unaware of this particular "Game of Thrones" episode, it a very, very bloody and gruesome tale of marriage and murder. The NOT TRUE story comes from Waterford Whisper News, a known satire and hoax site.

The HOAX story states:

The groom, Thomas Moore, a complete and utter Game of Thrones NUT, lovingly recreated the infamous Red Wedding scene that shocked so many fans of the books and TV show and his efforts have gone viral in the last 24 hours. In a clear and painstaking homage to the popular series Moore (29) managed to plunge a knife into a number of seemingly vital characters in his life, ruthlessly killing them in the process.

And one last excerpt from the HOAX story:

And Moore has many new fans, including Game of Thrones actress Emilia Clarke, who tweeted a link to a story on Moore's epic efforts with the words 'OMG OMG OMG, I can't even wrap my head around this'.

The NOT TRUE story states that there is CCTV footage of the incident and has since gone viral. There is no such footage because this incident DID NOT happen. Emilia Clarke is an actress on "Game of Thrones" but she DID NOT tweet about this rubbish; her only tweet to date is from 2013 when she joined Twitter:
