Essex watchmaker weds the wrong woman!

A watchmaker was supposed to marry his childhood sweetheart but ended up marrying the wrong woman because his watch was wrong. 

Ralph from Weeley (Essex) told everyone to put their clocks back but, after attending his pre wedding drinks, was too intoxicated to change his own clock.  At 10.00 am he arrived at Greenwich All Saints Church where he thought he was an hour late having 'overslept'. Rushing to the front of the church, he said his vows to a complete stranger.

'I saw somebody in white with a veil and dark hair. Brides are a bit like babies- they all look the same!'

Ralph is now trying to get an annulment but the shop doesn't open on a Sunday. The watchmaker's mother is livid, 'after all these months of planning Ralph goes and ruins it all! I didn't get to wear my dress! And I had my hair done!'

The bride whose wedding the watchmaker gatecrashed was unaffected by her change in groom, 'it serves Ben right! (my other half) He never turns up to anything on time!'

Kelly, Ralph's intended bride and childhood sweetheart, is seeking legal action, 'you can't just go around marrying someone else's fiancé!' 

Unfortunately, Ralph is unable to comment.
