A Sheffield man, who had fixed his marriage for a Saturday, but as an ardent follower of football had never missed a cup-tie for 15 years, exercised some ingenuity to postpone his wedding so that he" could see the match to be played on that day. His bride-to-be wished the wedding to be as impressive as possible, and when he told her that several more couples were to be married on the same day she was disappointed. "I shall go to the church," she said, "and if I find there are more than three weddings on Saturday I will postpone mine." This remark showed the future husband a way out of his quandary. "I went to the church first," he said, "and tipped the verger to say there were more than jrtfre-e !mafrria;gps fi xed for Saturday, and I went to the football match after all."
