‘Hip-hip-hooray, my wedding day, my bride-top-be has gone away…’
Oops, that’s wrong…
‘…is on her way!’
My best man’s helping me get ready.
‘Say hello Bob, sorry, Rob’.
I always get that wrong!
These shoes look wrong, I should wear black ones.
‘Bob, err Rob, I’ll get a taxi to the shoe shop and you go to the church and entertain the audience until I arrive – sing a song, crack jokes or something’.
This shop’ll do.
‘Wait driver please’.
Oopsie, wrong door, this is a greengrocer…ah, here it is.
These shoes look nice but they’re uncomfortable. Oh, they’re on the wrong feet, silly me!
‘Take me to the church driver. What do mean you’re waiting for a lady?’
Oh, it’s the wrong cab, there’s mine.
‘Sorry!’
Here at last. Inside I go. Everyone looks very miserable sitting with their heads bowed. I don’t believe it, a coffin! It’s the wrong church!
This looks right. My bride’s standing outside. That dress makes her look taller. Hang on, it’s the wrong bride. It’s the next wedding, I’ve missed mine!
Call Bob, errr, Rob.
‘Hello. You’re not Bob? Sorry wrong number’. Take two….
A decision’s been made to reverse the procedure. Reception today, marriage next week – if there’s an available registrar.
Time for my speech. Here’s my piece of paper.
‘Ahem’.
Oh no, it’s wrong, it’s a shopping list. I can’t start by saying a tin of tomatoes and some toilet rolls!
Oh dear, my almost-bride is standing.
She’s leaving.
Now what’s wrong?

Yesh, probably wise to call the whole thing off. I shudder to think what he does at his workplace!
I agree! As for work, I can’t begin to imagine!
Maybe he’s a surgeon? “Nurse, this patient is having a hister– Oh, this is a man! 😉
Sorry for duplicate comments. WP is not so cooperative these days!
Haha, that’s really funny Christine!
As for WP, it probably thought it fun to go with the theme of the tale and do something wrong itself! I’ve sat the duplicate on the naughty step!
This is hilarious… and a perfect delivery. What happens when one puts of marriage for so many decades. Just one request—a sequel with a happier ending?
Thanks so much, that’s really nice of you.
A sequel? I’ll keep an eye on him in case there’s a story to be had!
Keep an eye open to your interior world as well.
Wow, Keith this is so superb! I don’t know how you masterfully made all that wrong, sound well and truly right… but you did! Bravo
He’s a wrong’un all right! Thanks, Suzette!
You had us on the loop-de-loop with that one, Keith!
Thanks, Violet. I got tied in a knot writing it!
Keith, this was hilarious! I love how you kept the chaos so entertaining from start to finish. It’s such a fun, brilliantly absurd piece—I couldn’t stop laughing!

I can’t thank you enough, David!
🤗
So funny
Thanks, Beth!
Oh my Keith. What a muddle! but fun as always!
Too right, thanks, Di!
You’re welcome
You’re in hot water now, Keith!
Not for the first time, Nancy!
What a fun story! He doesn’t need a wife, but a keeper.
Best of luck finding one!
Thank you for the wonderful chuckle Keith! Well done! 🤣
Thank you, I’m delighted to have amused you!
I have to say, old bean that, even by your high standards, this is a belter.
A veritable chuckleathon!
That’s really kind of you. I try writing serious stuff sometimes, but nonsence is really where my heart is!
Start the day with a smile, they say -well I’ve done just that.
Thank you, Keith, that was so good.
‘Some Mothers Do ‘Ave ‘Em!’ right enough!
I couldn’t have wished for a nicer response, Jenne, thank you so much.
“Ooh, Jennie!”
Now I’m ending my day with another smile! 😄
lol!
as much fun as shopping cart races at closing time
Haha, we’ve all done some of them, most recently 3.55 this afternoon in Aldi! Why do they still close early on a Sunday?
At least your opens on a Sunday! 🙃
A series of unfortunate events 😂
I’m sure there were lots more to follow!
Lol. I feel bad for him
Hahaha. Was he drunk? I like the grocery list.
