When the madness of the wedding has subsided, and the happy couple arrive home from the honeymoon, they’ll probably choose to overlook the stifling sunburn and the equally stifling bank statements to glance at the guestbook.
As they open the pages of the exquisite book that was carefully passed around at the wedding, expecting to find poetic best wishes for their new lives together they might not be all that thrilled to find that instead there’s the picture you did of a crudely drawn todger and a drunken scrawl of: “GIVE HER ONE FROM ME, NICE ONE M8”.
