Congratulations Darryl!

[Southampton Shrimper]

Earlier today, Darryl put pen to paper and signed his marriage certificate.

Yes, he finally tied the knot with his missus.

The ceremony took place this afternoon at Romsey Abbey in Hampshire. The couple were blessed with a gloriously sunny day as a modest number of friends and family gathered to celebrate the wedding.

Your correspondent was on hand to witness the comings and goings. Ever the gentleman that he is, Darryl greeted me warmly as he strode purposefully off to the church and even had a quick chat with me as his car was moving slowly away from the venue. I was wearing my Southend shirt so he couldn't miss me!

After the service, the party then moved on to a swish venue near Winchester for the reception, where I am sure the celebrations are still in full swing. Darryl certainly indicated to me that he was planning on having plenty to drink tonight!

The funniest moment of the day for me was watching Darryl's best man, Kevin Davies, stall his car as he tried to park it and then get told by some random woman that he couldn't park it there (right by the entrance to the churchyard and right behind her car!) so he then had to park it further down the lane!

So, congratulations Darryl on your big day!

:clap:

If I can work it out, I will stick a couple of pictures up...

Do I spy Mr Bradbury in the last photo?? They are just uploading now should be about 5 mins max.

[Southampton Shrimper]

Yup, Mr Bradbury was the only other Shrimper, past or present, there for the ceremony that I could see. Even though he was standing right by me when I took the photo, I don't think he noticed me, but a little later on in town he was coming out of WH Smith and I almost walked into him, so he did say "Alright, mate!" then!!

 

[Southampton Shrimper]

Excellent work, Ricey, thanks for your help!











If only I could be so good with photos..........

Look, there's a nutter sitting on that wall with a Southend shirt, let's pretend we've not noticed him!

Darryl: OK, I'd better talk to the nutter
Missus: Driver, will you please get this car moving and away from here

Question.

Why and how did you find out about this wedding and go to it?

 

[Southampton Shrimper]

Answer.

I found out about it from a local source and went to it as it's only up the road from me, had nothing else on and actually thought I might see a few more players there.

 

[stevie_G_G_G]

Were there any other southend players there out of interest?

 

[fredheim_holm]

Congrats Darryl.

 

[Southampton Shrimper]

As I mentioned on the first page, no, Lee Bradbury was the only connection with Southend that I could see.

Where's the honeymoon? Maybe you could still get a flight out there.
