A honeymoon too far

Clearly all marriages aren't made in Heaven!

By Stanley Collymore

 

What on earth did you think you were playing

at shouting out “Yes I do!” embarrassingly

like that, when the vicar conducting

our wedding ceremony asked the

congregation present if there

was anyone who knew of a

just cause or impediment why

we should not lawfully be

joined in matrimony?

 

It wasn’t either of us, you idiot that

he was questioning; and besides, since

when is a bride-to-be unfortunately

starting her periods on her wedding day

justifiable or even sufficient grounds

for her forthcoming husband to

selfishly and self-centredly

behave in this utterly

unseemly way?

 

So don’t be surprised to know it goes

without saying that your absolute lack

of consideration, either for me or

my feelings, by what you did completely

ruined what for a new and considerably

optimistic wife should unquestionably

have been the most unforgettable

day of her life. And, I must say,

you certainly managed to do

that, you quite gormless

and insensitive prat!
