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..

First of all, Disco, congrats my man!!! Second of all, what a post. As ever. Third, to answer your question, never been married but my cousin Cáit walked down the aisle to this. They didn't stay together, which, when they had Reverand Al Green more or less telling them to, was a bit rude of them. But, hey, great choon!
Congrats Glenn, hope you have a great day!
Like Brian, I’m a fan of the Reverend, but I’d choose this one.
PS Just in from celebrating my 33rd wedding anniversary!

Good luck Disco, my ol' message board buddy. Madness though. Been with mine 24 years and f-me, if we ever split up that'll do it for me; time to myself just spending the last days I have - yes please!
Mine is great, but she is enough for a lifetime...
Hope all goes well, D.
Sounds like me and mine Davman, 38 years last week, I’d look forward to the peace and quiet! Good luck to you both Disco.

As used by my son and his wife. They are still better together after 16 years
Probably a better choice than mine, where you have to forget the title and listen to the lyrics
"Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts. Broad, wholesome, charitable views of men and things cannot be acquired by vegetating in one little corner of the Earth all one's lifetime." (Mark Twain)
Find me on twitter @derbyhoop and now on Bluesky
Back this afternoon from the 10 day honeymoon in Gran Canaria with Mrs Booker Newbury Disco the 3rd , to find all my lupins, foxgloves, pansies, Azelea and snapdragons laid to waste by the heatwave.
Also some colostomy bag has nicked me alloys off my Toyota Aygo undercover on me drive!. in leigh on sea!. Got the yak fu cker on my ring doorbell so flatfoot have been informed of the zapruder film frame 313 footage. Such is life.
I wanted to say a most humble 'Thank you from the bottom of my heart' public message to the LFW frankie knuckle thread boys for the opulent flowers we received on the friday before the wedding. I was very humbled , and for once, lost for words. Jo read all the messages on the thread and was touched, in the spiritual sense , by your memories and well wishes.
It meant the world to Jo, and more importantly she showed a modicum of interest in the forum and QPR for the first time in 15 years with the statement, ' they seem like really decent blokes on there , glenn, i don't know why you slag them off and moan about pointless crap on there'. Word.
The love and kindess percolated by you lads that i wouldn't have known without the herculean graft and buckets of tears that are poured into this forum from it's engineers and pioneers, is without measure.
I gave up being angry about QPR a couple of years ago , at 57 and a supporter since 1978, you modulate and adjust.. for me QPR is more about the people than the profit and loss computation at 5.40pm Saturday teatime.
Bonded by blood. Melded to each other by the solar plexus for the love of blue and white hoops.
Cheers,
Glenn

It's important to remember that any song you waltz down the aisle to has to be in 3/4 time.
they played ' follow you follow me ' as we burst through the black curtains for about 5 seconds .. my legs were like Blancmange and i kept thinking of Rodney in 'only fools and horses' when 'Rodney charlton Trotter' was read out and everyone laughs..
My middle name is Harvey and it got the same response, people chuckling away like Muttley.. my voice went higher than Emperor nero's castratus lover sporos , when i caught jo's eye when i said 'I do'.. for some reason i threw in the word 'lawfully'at some point as well and the registrar gave me a look like a tooled up ilse koch.
i've got a few pictures to chuck up if anyone wants a good laugh at the state of me Moss tobacco suit.

That geezer John Struss was good at waltzes.
There was a really long pause of deathly silence after 'strawberry fields ' played during the signing of the register and the DJ starting his set..
80 people and two families bought together for the first time with very little alcohol consumed, at this point, and no music. The Russ Abbott felt like Field Marshal Wilhelm Keitel surrendering to the Russians in may 1945 .
Luckily my Uncle Phil who looks like General Urko from Planet of the Apes, fired up Elvis Costello ' I cant stand up for falling down' from his Amazon firestick and the gaff went up like Altamont in 1969.

Hopefully Disco, there wasn't anyone there present to cause chaos like with this young couples' vows.

A prince amongst paupers
A king amongst thieves
A desert with his oasis
An earth to a livewire
Glad to hear it’s gone off great DD; …..our blue n white 8 section caps are doffed to you and the long suffering Jo. I’m gutted a telegram didn’t get done (but other grams may well have been)
Point of order though —- you had a DJ? Fcuk me man; it’s where I cut my teeth on the 1’s n 2’s. Reception compare and spinner of all things Agadoo used to pay for “the real me” for many a year. Mortally wounded I wasn’t booked.
Enjoy the summer and respect to Mrs BTN III
Cherish and enjoy life.... this ain't no dress rehearsal

ahhh man i didnt like to ask you as it was so far away in rochford .. it was too much to ask. i wish i had asked you but i felt awkard,,, steve said i should have asked you.. the dj was ok'ish!.. i just felt it would have been asking to much. although i'd have rather have given you the monkey than dj quicksilver from southend!
Your message to me was read out along with others who couldn't attend.. I got a few funny looks from her side who assumed i was West Ham !. I owe you all a beer or two first home game of the season. In fact i owe you a lot more than that. xx

My aunt signed me and my brother on as altar boys for her wedding in 1976. No one warned us her middle name was Winifred. We were like Beavis and Butthead for the rest of the ceremony, only lucky that a dropped candle didn’t cause an inferno.
