‘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!

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!
