The last sentence made me laugh.

Mr Bond's parents were less enthusiastic. His mother Lynda, 60, does not believe it's true while his father Peter, 63, described his son as a a "plonker".

Nice way to talk about your son to the media, lol.

LOL.

I like the part where he describes how much he had to drink that night.

I like the part were it says how many weapons his new FIL has!

Oh dear god. I hate when people do these sorts of things - wind up getting married when they don't know each other well enough. This one is over the top though.

Ditto. lol. My dad used to tell my now DH that he had a collection of rifles in the basement when we started dating.  Even though he doesn't and would never hurt a fly. He just liked to make him nervous...

Mrs Bond will visit the UK next month and start looking for a job before the pair return to America to meet her parents.

Good luck with informing immigration of that one!

More here.....a little bit of dirt already!

I want to be there when they are filling out their marriage visa and trying to prove to them that they love each other and how long they have been together...hehe and the only pictures they have of the relationship is only one day..I am trying not to sound catty but my husband and I went thru alot and the proper channels to be where we are today..and they are probably just assuming that all she has to do now is move over here..it is just stupid that they were drunk and got married and because of a stupid drunk mistake they are getting all this press...this is when you know it is true love..is the quote from the husband "she is the fittest bird I have ever pulled"...here's to living happily ever after lol

I love the comments....especially this one:

never marry an American woman (they are even worse money grabbers than British women)

Over-generalise much?   

Someone needs to send this couple a link to UK-Yankee.  Sounds like they are going to need a lot of help!

I think this is the funniest thing ever!!!! DF and I have laughed over this since we read it. We met in Vegas (actually at the same bar they did) but would have NEVER thought of doing that.  I dont know what they must have been thinking. The fact that she hasnt told her parents is insane too. My parents would have died and there would have been no hope for them ever liking DF if we did that.

HAHAHA... that is hilarious. And this quote from the alleged girlfriend of the guy: 'No wonder he hardly spoke about his holiday.' LOL!

To be fair to him, she is pretty fit. And what American girl would turn down an English guy named Mr. Bond?

ok what bar did they meet in?

LOL MY and DH met in Vegas as well at the Palms but had mutual friends

Jewlz I didn't even think about his name being Mr. Bond..that made me laugh even harder at this story

No offense to anyone but he has nice teeth. I can say that because I'm a Brit with gozzy teeth. Why didn't my mom get them fixed when I was young?

Maybe I shouldn't ask but I've never heard the name 'blonker' before.

I googed it and it was bad so I hope there is a better version.
