Lyrics from: Trawler

Do you take this woman? I said, yes I do 
I love her like crazy
& I think she loves me too 
But we'll do without the family 
if it's all the same to you 
happy ever after 
Your mother is a flake, 
my father's full of shite 
Your sister says you married me in white 
just for spite 
Well a party's not a party 
till it ends up in a fight 
happy ever after 

And there was my lot and your lot 
and us two in between 
This is the last time I get married 
(please God) 
This is the last time I get married

My brother's never short 
of a substance to abuse 
Rum & glue & Thunderbird 
& wizz & Special Brew 
Any minute now he'll show us 
ALL of his tattoos 
happy ever after 
Nephews are obnoxious, nieces are too tall 
A dozen drunken uncles 
are pissing up the wall 
Grandad is grinning 
but there's no one home at all 
happy ever after

For richer, for poorer, 
for better or for worse 
Now we are married, a blessing or a curse 
Kiss me & don't forget 
What you see is what you get

And the best man is the worst man, 
the best man is a beast 
Underneath the table 
with the sister of the priest 
The way he's going at it 
she is probably deceased 
happy ever after 
Granny's on the brandy, getting bleary-eyed 
Guys I went to school with 
want to see me outside 
Someone's pulled the bridesmaid. 
Anyone seen the bride? 
happy ever after
