3rd time lucky for me lads, 7th of june. The richard burton and liz taylor of leigh on sea.
Had to go to the registrar in southend today in this concrete sobibor 1970's abomination flat pack council bunker straight out of some strontium dog wasteland to be interviewed by some stasi functionary in a demis roussos kaftan who water boarded me with questions about jo to make sure it wasn't a sham marriage.
I got a bit nervous at one point and launched into my mick jagger stella street impersonation . It felt like a Special branch interrogtion at some south armagh bog to release names of the local IRA nutting squad. I only want to make an honest woman of jo after 14 years, not expose her craft hobby of making pipe bombs out of baby bio and doctor white jam wrags at leigh on sea constitutional club of a sunday morning.
what a palarver, i dont recall all this agg for my for my first two marriages. admittedly for the first two nuptials i was out of my skate on happy pills, booze and bugle so i dont remember in bone white clarity the minutiae of those cermonies in 1990 and 1999.
My second wife joined a christian commune in the forest of dean after being married to me for 7 years so i hold my hands up to that one.
the sawtooth waves of life and the knuckle duster of getting through the next 24 hours every time we get up off the edierdown and go to work to provide as best we can got the best of me in that case, sorry about that michelle.
after given the east german high gauleiter every scrap of information i had stored in my snaypse including jo's blood group, i was asked what music we would like for our ceremony..
i was stumped .. so thought of the first track that meant something to us when our eyes locked over the juke box in the essex arms in brentwood.. luckily jo agreed.
what was your tune down the isle?
call me the king of fools..

A couple of suggestions for your good self the lovely Mrs Disco in waiting......
having also had 2 goes at the gig i've a few tunes to offer.
1990 and I was loved up with the 1st Mrs........ this was the tune of that day
move forwards 10 years and second bash at it had a little more thought and structure....
walked up the aisle to this little ditty......
first dance was this.....
whilst we had the overcooked and overpriced chicken dinner, i had the DJ play a couple of albums to keep it easy. One was Mastercuts 80's Love Anthems.... the first 2 are absolute killers for me..
this piece of utter beauty, and the slightly more obvious....
whatever you do choose will be perfect as you'll overthink it for days to come up with a selection worthy of Jo. All the best mate and I wish you guys the very best of luck for the future,

This thread reminds me of the vows my old college friend who has supported Portsmouth football club for many many years.
In the vows my mates' good lady uttered the words, "in sickness and in health and any troubles Portsmouth football club put us through"
Amazingly after three relegations, the marriage is still going strong !!!
Which reminds me of the time a mate of mine, a Portsmouth lad and lifelong Pompey fan, got married.
When he stood up to make his speech that afternoon, he started off: "Today is the happiest day of my life...[Pause, quick glance at his watch] ...Portsmouth have just been promoted to the First Division!"
Footnote: Pompey lasted one season in the top flight, the marriage not much longer.

Sincere congratulations to you both, currently in Vietnam celebrating our Golden Wedding Anniversary. 50 bloody years, how we have survived that frankly I not got a clue. Use to frequent your meeting pub in Brentwood many years ago.

Me and Mrs Camberley got married outside on a swelteringly hot day 10 years ago in a hotel that was nearby to us (the Lismoyne in Fleet) and we had a selection of tunes playing just beforehand and just as her and her dad were walking up to the registrar. One of the tunes was one of my favourite Bill Withers tracks. I thought the lyrics were quite apt.
'Er indoors Chigwell Jo is the love of my puff. I love her and i'll never recover. If you get a sniff of love in life , grab it with both hands and hold onto it like japanese knotweed.
I'm nothing more than a chancer , a fraud, an empty vessel yet i've been given another chance at my old age of 58. i intend to bathe in my good fortune with my soul mate.
Do the same lads if you get another chance.
see you on the other side good QPR brothers and sisters. Drink in love, companionship and mutual respect with a Vampiric thirst when you can. It doesn't come along often like the 238 bus.

Mine is great, but she is enough for a lifetime...
Cheers boys, i'm as nervous as hell about walking down the old isle again next week.. feel a bit stupid but there you go.. getting all the family together including my lovely but unhinged mum will be nerve racking .... you never know what avenue and alleyway life will lead you to. I'm the luckiest twot alive to be given another chance... xx

Did my second one 4 years ago during lockdown,only 5 people there ,we had our reception on our 1st anniversary at the same place with all our family and friends there.
favourite cheese mature Cheddar. FFS there is no such thing as the EPL
cheers rob and hoops.. I can't believe there have been 3 women on the face of the planet who have wanted to marry me. I've still got all my teeth and hair but look like 'Grouty ' from porridge. fat git.
Truly love is blind.

I was just thinking this morning you were only a week away from the nuptials and wondering how it was all going for the run up. All good luck for the day and for happily ever after. Another great love song if it hasn't been mentioned yet
