The groom's troubles were not confined to his heavy-footed use of the accelerator, however, with officers also revealing he was travelling with a tyre in an illegal condition.
"A rear nearside tyre with cord exposed topped this stop off," the force said.
The police signed off the tweet with the hashtag #donttellthebride.
Wiltshire Police confirmed the groom was later collected by members of the wedding party to take him to the ceremony.
He will appear in court at a later date.
