Apparently this is a true story.

A woman in her forties got married but was bit nervous about her honeymoon.
The people in the church wanted to encourage her by sending a telegram with a verse of Scripture: 1 John 4:18 ("There is no fear in love, but perfect fear casts out all fear")

But someone omitted, by mistake, the 1 before John and the telegram just read: John 4:18.  ("The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband.  What you have just said is quite true.)"
