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.”
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 ?
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.
