My name is Matthew. I used my Tellus to write this story. I also worked really hard at school to write this story. The school staff helped me a lot. I really enjoyed doing it.

Matthew Wants a Wedding by Matthew Poulton

My name is Matthew and I am forty-five years old. I look happy because I am getting married. I am going to make a video of the wedding on my Tellus. I want to get married to Katie. She is twenty-one. I like her yellow hair.

                 Me and my Tellus

I live in the countryside in England with my Dad. We have a big house in a small village. We work with computers. I met Katie at Charlton School. Katie is a bus driver. I asked Katie out on a date to a restaurant for lunch. We had spaghetti, raspberry yoghurt and beer. I drank too much and got drunk. Afterwards I took Katie to see Oliver at the theatre.

At our wedding, my brother Ralph is going to be my best man. My sister Cath is going to be Katie’s bridesmaid. She is very good and helps me out all the time. My friend Alex who was in my class at school is going to be a pageboy.

        Ralph wakes me up at six in the morning on my wedding day to get ready. Ralph makes me cereal and orange juice for breakfast. I wear a red shirt with a brown jacket and trousers and a tie. Ralph wears the same.

 Me and Cath

I travel to the church with Ralph and John in a big, posh red car. Katie goes to the church with Cath in a big, posh blue car. I get to the church first and wait at the door in my standing frame for the wedding to start. I meet all the guests and tell them that I am scared about getting married.

        ‘I thought I was going to live by myself until I met Katie,’ I tell them.

  Me and Katie

        Katie arrives at the church. She is wearing a cream and red dress. The wedding starts and I turn on my Tellus. Cath had helped me put my wedding vows on my Tellus to read out in the church. I’m not happy when I can’t find them on my Tellus. I’m going to have to make them up!

        ‘Katie,’ I start, giving her a very nice ring. ‘I love you more than chocolate. You make me so happy I want us to be married for one thousand years.’ 

        After the wedding we go to a party. There are lots of balloons. People are wearing party hats. We had a disco and everyone was dancing.

        We go to Spain on our honeymoon for two weeks. We stay in a hotel and go to the beach every day. When we are back from our honeymoon we move into a house next door to my Dad.

        We live happily ever after.
