People you are all being VERY mean about the newly married middle aged couple!
Have it on good authority (Clive is a family friend of my dog’s auntie) that the REAL dress did not fit (as I long suspected) and that Doris in cabin 325 is a dab hand with a needle and thread. Clive and Derek (Doris hubby) went post haste (or as quick as two old lads can go when one has a tricky hip and the other is on a walking frame) to see what they could find to assist.
After an hour with no luck whatsoever, Derek suggested stopping off in the smoking room so he could have a rollie. It was there that Clive got an absolute brainwave when he spotted the net curtains hanging there! Derek kept watch while Clive unhooked them all and off they toddled back to Doris so she could work her magic. The nets may have been extremely nicotine stained and looked like they’d been hanging in the room since 1963, but hey when you’re stuck you’re stuck! It was this or the bride’s Wifey robe which also did not fit.
Anyway, long story short Doris got to work while Derek and Clive went to find the groom to be. They finally tracked him down in Eduardo the barman’s cabin where himself and Eduardo were practicing wrestling moves in their grungy undies on Eduardo’s bed on top of the groom’s discarded faux linen suit. They helped him dress but sadly most of the buttons on his shirt had mysteriously pinged off previously, likely with excitement to get down and dirty wrestling.
They met up with the bride in the domino room and they all stayed to watch them get wed, the bride was SO happy that theyd saved the day that she agreed they could attend….but on the promise that they did not even attempt to have ANY of the 20person wedding cake.
So yeah….if you’ve got nothing nice to say*…..
*come sit by me
