Sorry, common reaction in my family...
After my dad married my mum he was telling a bloke he worked with that he had just got married, to which the man responded "Why didn't you come and see me first?"

Ah, I see.
I've done it twice now. The first time was a test run.

As a wise man once told me:
Anyone who gets married for a second time didn't deserve to lose the first one.

I love the idea of someone saying "Why didn't you come and see me first? I got a lovely sister, she's from good stock, her coat has a great shine to it, could have sorted you out a deal"

I think his point was more that he would have advised against marriage in general.

I wonder, in the history of mankind, if anyone has ever changed their mind about proposing to someone, purley on the word of friends and family.

A great shine on her coat, eh...
