Speaker 1 (00:29):
Do you have a look back at your wedding photos
and wonder who the hell the people are there in them?
Not you and your wife?

Speaker 2 (00:34):
Who is she?

Speaker 1 (00:35):
Who? Sha?

Speaker 2 (00:36):
I know my wife gets our wedding video and plays
it in reverse so she can see herself walking out
of the church. I know that happens. But yeah, I
remember my wedding. One of her Helen's nurse. My wedding
was all about me. One of Helen's nurse friends brought
this guy that looked like a roadie for Black Sabbath,

(00:56):
and he came up at the end of the ninety
is blind as a bat, comes up and says, thanks
for having us, Darren.

Speaker 1 (01:06):
It is funny, though, because your your wedding is your
snapshot of a moment in time, and you think these
people will be our friends forever, and it doesn't. Always doesn't.
Usually doesn't happen that way, nor should it. You don't
want to be in locked in an air bubble for
your whole life. They are people you work with at
that time, or the partners of people you work with,
all that kind of stuff. You may have seen this
story that a woman has spent four years trying to

(01:28):
find the identity of an uninvited wedding guest. She's looking
through the wedding photos and she's saying, oh, who's he,
and her husband says, I don't know. I thought he
was a friend of yours. He's a really tall guy
just standing there on his own, and she's spent four
years using various forms of social media to try and
find him. Well, finally she's tracked him down because she
said it was always in the back of my mind,

(01:49):
why was he there? Is he some mad stalker? So
what has happened is finally this was shared on a
site that this guy saw and he came forward. His
name is Andrew Millhouse, and he put a post on
Facebook saying he'd been cutting it fine, as he has said,
as I'm known to do. He pulled up at the

(02:09):
wedding venue with five minutes to spare, spotting the piper
and other guests. He followed them into the hotel where
the wedding was taking place. I remember thinking to myself.
This is obviously the right place, but he was unaware
the address he was supposed to go to was two
miles away in an adjoining town. See. The thing is
he was with his partner was part of the wedding party.

(02:34):
He's only met the bride once, where as the partner,
so he was initially unperturbed to find himself surrounded by
strangers as the ceremony began. As the marriage was due
to attend, the only person he knew was the bride,
So when she came walking down the aisle, he thought,
oh my god, that's not her. I'm at the wrong wedding.
But as this is a quote from him, you can't
exactly stand up and walk out of a wedding mid ceremony.

(02:56):
So I just had to commit to the act and
spend the next twenty minutes awkwardly sitting there, trying to
be inconspicuous as my six foot two ass could be.

Speaker 2 (03:05):
As he says, and he ended up in the fighter.
Said he end up in the fight. Well.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
At the end of the ceremony, he tried to make
a discrete exit, only to be waylaid by a wedding
photographer who insisted all the other guests are in a
group shot, he can be spotted looming uncomfortably at the
very back of the crowd. He went on to say
he rushed outside, made some phone calls, and made his
way to the correct wedding, where he was almost as
popular as the actual bride and groom, and spent most

(03:29):
of the night retelling the stories whereveryone I've just been
at another wedding down the road. He did not expect
this to become such a big deal, but she, the
bride of the first wedding, has said, I'm pleased about this.
He's not some crazy stalker that he's just a guy
who he wasn't trying to be a wedding. He was
trying to be polite and got caught up in the day.

Speaker 2 (03:50):
This happened to me at a funeral one time. I
was running late to a funeral for a friend that
had passed away, and I got to one of those places,
those funeral places where there's a bunch of different chapels
around the joint, and I was on my Harley Davidson
and it was the one with the straight through exhaust pipe,
and it was like, so I've pulled up at the
event running late, mindful of the fact that, you know,

(04:13):
I didn't want to make too much noise, so I've
switched it off and because that stopped, and then the
guy's walking past, and I said, excuse me, mate, do
you know where this particular funeral that he goes. I'd
be in the green Side Chapel over there, and got
the green Side Chapel. He says, yeah, yep, yep, no,
and he's talking as loud as he can be, and
I'm trying to.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Be hush hush, having ridden it on that noise.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
So anyway, where the green Side Chapel was was like
about one hundred meters. So started my bike up again
and as a giant bang backfire takes off. Go over
to the grid, get there, walk in. It's not the funeral,
wrong funeral.

Speaker 1 (04:51):
How did you know?

Speaker 2 (04:52):
Because I walked in and that there was no one
there I knew. And also this funeral was for a
young person. My friend was old.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Oh god, and they went back at the other church,
so I would have left my bike there and.

Speaker 2 (05:06):
Walked Yes, yes, but you did, did you go back?
Get back there? And then old mate, the grave digger
or whoever he was, Oh, but you got the wrong wine. Mate,
this is probably in here.

Speaker 1 (05:17):
No, you know what probably should have happened. He said,
I was just talking to a gravedory said we haven't
had a grave digger here for fifty years.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
So then I walk into the church and everyone I'm here,
Phonsie is here.

Speaker 1 (05:35):
Lucky.

Speaker 2 (05:36):
My mate was a modercycle enthusiast. He would have appreciated,
of course he would. Okay, kids, that's it for today.
That was Johns and I'm just cutting. Come back tomorrow
some more.
