Dear Diary,
Today I have just found out that the Consistory court of Diocese of Worcester have a marriage licence for me so I am able to get married tomorrow. I am getting married to a lady called Anne Hathaway. She is 26 and pregnant and I am only 18. I know what you are thinking I am too young. But i don't want to die alone! Anne needs a husband for her baby and I am willing to be him. Our wedding is going to be November 28 1582 at the famous temple Grafton which is in a small village five miles from Stratford-apon-avon which is where I live. Anne and me did not have time to give invitations for the wedding so tonight we will be telling people about are big day and we will see who turns up tomorrow. I will be wearing my best clothes consisting doublet, breeches, hose, neck ruff and cod piece. Anne will be wearing her best gown and will be carrying flowers. She will walk down the aisle with two brides maids with her hair loose but when she is married to me she will hide her hair beneath her bonnet. There will be loads of wedding feasts such as loyal foods and google wine . Once we are married she will leave her home and come live wilth me. Hopefully the next time I will be writing in my diary I will be married. I better talk a early night for the big day.
Night Night
