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.
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!

1) For a spur of the moment choice that is a great tune 2) Brian McCarthy's tune is also immense 3) When I got married there was no tune, but this thread makes me kinda sad that there wasn't one 4) If I was renewing my vows or some such I might go with

beautiful track bri...
do you remember that time i rang you up and left you a 3 hour answer phone message after 18 pints of pilsner urquell in leadenhall market and i wanted to renounce all my wordly goods and chattles in a fit of materialistic guilt . You were the most honest decent person i could think of.

I do, my man. I was honoured.
I also wondered if there was a catalogue for all your worldly goods. That rhino horn powder you were throwing out...not for me, like...but...

For me, my wife and I fell in love with Bones by Michael Kiwanuka, which I heard for the first time while she was dragging me around Bentalls shopping Centre in Kingston. One of those tracks that caught my ear and the lyrics while simple, were rather fitting and it became our song. For our 10 year anniversary I bought her a framed LP style print of the words and it hangs in our living room.

Congratz Disco. Hope it all goes swimmingly.

jo loves that track to bits!
ten years! congrats toast , it takes a man to work at a marriage, hopefully at 57 i've finally learned my lesson.
Good luck Disco, I've been married twice, realised I was shite at it after a pitifully short time and will never do it again under any circumstance . There was a very quick shuffle into the register office both times and no time for or suggestion of a musical fanfare in those days, but perhaps the Genesis one that I put on a thread the other day Follow You Follow Me for the sentiment of the lyrics for the hopes of the occasion.

Been posting jolly green giant sweetcorn shit on here since 2014.
80% of the time i like this forum. 10% of the time i hate it to its bone marrow the other 10% its fuc king beautiful. When i think of all the NA meetings i went to in the city years ago sitting there mute.. for some reason talking to fellow QPR fans fon here feels like some kind of secret club, a birthmark on our collective souls.. this kinship for this infuriating blue and white hoop addiction. QPR in a class by it's self. this football club. this beautiful beast of burden.
This famous linguist once said that of all the phrases in the English language, of all the endless combinations of words in all of history, that "Loft for words " is the most beautiful.
i agree, most of the time.
yes, i've polished off a 6 litre keg of perfect draft san miguel .

thank you scottie. we have spoke many times on dm...
i dont know, i love jo and for all the bravado im nervous about doing it all again, but you have to take the plunge. im hopeless on my own. Women are by far the stronger sex.
we only get one shot at life, i might as well ride the painted pony and let the spinning wheel turn again for the 3rd time!

I took so long with that last message as I didn't want to sound negative about marriage so I'd rewritten it about 10 times which is why I'd missed the song you did pick and said the same thing. It's the lyrics of the forever romantic optimist that is me and I do think as you get older you get better at these things but it's not something I'd give a go again. All good wishes for you both from me and I'm sure you'll succeed - there would never be a dull moment.
