My daughter is getting married later in the week and as The Father of the Bride weddings
are very much on my mind at the moment.

The maddest wedding I have been to was in 1974 when a female cousin ( who was pregnant )
had a shotgun wedding at a club ( working mens style ) in Tredegar.

Ceremony went of OK but reception at the club was mad.

As soon as people arrived from the chapel they tucked in to the free booze with gusto.

After an hour of serious knecking it back it was time for the speeches.

The Bride's dad said " I'm only here for the beer ! " and sat down.

The best man made a few jibes about the Brides family being common and

WHOOSH !

The place erupted into a good old cowboy style bar room brawl. Tables and chairs
thrown between the warring families , glasses and bottles broken over peoples heads.

The buffet also featured in the general throwing.

The bar steward said " I'm calling the police ! " and was rewarded by getting a slap from the Bride's
mother who screamed " You can't spoil my daughter's big day you c*** ! "

I'm hoping for better on Thursday folks.
