Would You Marry Him

[grandmoon]

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.

didn't she say she wasn't going to marry him now? no reconciliation

Would I marry him?  Not on your Nelly!

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.

I think police came? and he resisted arrest

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.
