Grand Final Clash

There was a day set aside for the wedding but the groom was very much dreading it would be the same day his grand final would play and that’s where it looked it was heading Alas his worst fears came true So what was he s’posed to do? Change the date he’d marry his mate or send a substitute to say “I do”? Of course, that could be done covertly The team had done it before with Curtley but if the bride found out she’d give him a clout and the next month he’d spend inertly So I hope we have the real groom today – shame on his mates for staying away but he stayed away too when best man for Stew and the ladies can still throw the bouquet The bride is also very fond of her sport loving a good tussle on field and on court It’s clear and plain she knows Glen’s pain and she’s the kind and compassionate sort This wedding’s been the perfect storm The bride’s team’s in awesome form Today’s their final too So what’s Jane s'posed to do? Miss it, or follow the wedding norm? I’m sorry the groom’s grumpy and pre-occupied but the final’s on now and he’s not in the side but Jane empathizes with his sacrifices having hired a substitute bride!
