Would You Marry Him

grandmoon — Sun, 23 Feb 2014 23:20:14 GMT

A GROOM who was arrested after a minister refused to marry him because he was allegedly too drunk was inconsolable yesterday.

Still wearing the torn suit in which he was supposed to be married, Semaphore singer and artist Jake Brookes, 40, said yesterday that “all I wanted to do was see my woman”.

As revealed exclusively on Advertiser.com.au , police arrested Brookes after they were called to a disturbance at the Semaphore Uniting Church, on Semaphore Road at Exeter in Adelaide’s west, about 2pm on Saturday.

“I have been dreaming for days and days and days about her beautiful wedding dress,” a tearful and bruised Brookes told Ten Eyewitness News.

“All I wanted was my woman to feel she was queen of the day, man.”

I went to a wedding in country Victoria about 20 years ago.The bride and groom split up at the reception.I think the womens mags did a story on it, proclaiming it to be the shortest marriage ever:-) Both families got into a feud over it.It was like the Hatfields and the McCoys 😄

if he was so concerned about his bride to be he should have curbed his alcohol consumption. what a fool.
i hope his bride to be be takes a good look at the sort of person she is considering hitching her wagon too.

it all depends - he says he wasn't drunk - is the minister qualified to make that call?

if he was drunk thats disrespectful to his bride to be, but if it wasn't a regular occurence then i'd probably think about trying again..

SEMAPHORE Uniting Church.

Well, the intended groom certainly sent a message.

He's going to hate those who put on a bucks party and tied him to a tree a hundred miles away for the night

I guess if he appeared to be drunk and disoriented, there might be a legitimate doubt as to whether h ewas in a condition to understand the promises he was making.

He plays guitar, and he looks sort of spiritual (more emphasis on the spirit maybe), seems a good catch

Semaphore is a nice part of town, attracts some alternative folk hankering for the seaside lifestyle.

Was that the nuptial household ? The tent ?

If he smelt strongly of alcohol that would give the minister a good clue.
How embarrassing for his bride to be..she has had a lucky escape.

Not so common any more since brides got a little smarter and forbid bucks nights on the eve of the big day BUT in years gone by many a groom was well and truly hung over and possessed only one eyebrow on the big day!

I saw this story on the news and on one of those online newspapers. His ex fiance has said that will not be marrying him, that it's over.

I can't say I blame her. How humilating.
