3089.0. "Man marries guitar, wife unhappy!" by POLAR::STOODLEY () Thu Jun 01 1995 15:36

         I got a good chuckle out of this, so I typed this from a 
    local newspaper here in Ottawa:
    
    
    
                  "Man marries guitar, wife unhappy!"
    
       LONDON (Reuter) - A British man besotted for 35 years, has finally
    "married" the object of his desire - his guitar.
       Chris Black, 53, says he fell for his Fender Stratocaster the 
    moment he saw it.  "We've had such a long engagement that I decided
    it was time we did the decent thing," Black said.
       He asked a friend to perform the wedding ceremony last weekend
    after a local vicar refused to do it.
       "It was all over in a matter of minutes.  We didn't even have time
    for a honeymoon," Black told a British news agency.
        Not surprisingly his wife of 29 years, Janet, is less than
    impressed.
        "My wife thinks I'm crazy," said Black, who is unrepentant.
    "When I die, I want to be buried with it!"
