BIZARRE PRISON WEDDING We walked down the aisle to the Death March And Charlie ripped my dr ess during f irst dance
handcuffed to a warden so we had to make the most of it while we could.” Paula, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffs, had seen Bronson the day before. Conjugal visits are banned, so they may never consummate their union. She added: “Charlie was in great spirits, sin singing ‘get her to the prison on time’. W We spoke about sex and he said he co couldn’t wait. Neither can I. “It was very frustrating we couldn’t have a nor normal wedding night. I’m quite a sexual p person and anyone who knows me know knows I’m very naughty. Charlie is very s similar. “It’s frustrating. He was wearing a tight top and I could see all of his great shoulder muscles. My friends ask if there is someone ‘on the side side’, but I don’t desire anyone else else. I’ll have to wait.” B Bronson welled up as Paula pro proceeded down the “aisle” – to th the wrong track. Instead of Time by Hans Z Zimmer, Paula was greeted by Ch Chopin’s Funeral March. She told Bronson: “That was th the wrong song. From now on, y you need to remember I am always right!” He laughed it off before telling Paula she was the most beautiful woman in the world. He added: “You look like a princess. Thank you for standing by me and believing in me.”
Paula’s ring also bears the wedding date and the digits 1314, Bronson’s old jail number. She said: “We promised to love each other, cherish each other, share the journey of life together.”
They kissed before Bronson poured sparkling water. He toasted Paula and, adapting Frank Sinatra’s My Way, sang: “We lived our lives, colourful and full of madness. We planned this lovely day in Monster Mansion. But more, much more than this, we did it our way.”
Then, as they waltzed to a track on the radio, clumsy Bronson stepped on Paula’s dress and ripped it. He said: “We’ve done it now. We’re a team from this day forward.”
Paula replied: “I’m your wife. I promise I will never give up on you.”
Leftovers
Finally, Bronson was ordered to return to his wing – and took the buffet leftovers for his fellow lags.
He told Paula: “It’s four o’clock, babe. I have to go and take my clothes off. Enjoy your honeymoon.” Around 150 guests, including Katie Price’s ex-husband Alex Reid and gangsters Dave Courtney and Eddie Richardson, attended a reception at the nearby York House Hotel.
They cheered as Richardson and Paula called for the release of Bronson.
He was jailed in 1974 for armed robbery but his sentence has been repeatedly extended for violent episodes inside. Richardson said: “He’s never killed anybody. We want to see him out as soon as possible.”
Paula added: “He’s not the Bronson of back in the day, he’s now Charlie Salvador. I will not stop until he is out.”
In the absence of Bronson, lookalike Tim joined Paula on the dance floor.
And of her honeymoon, she said: “It sounds mad, going on honeymoon without your husband, but he wants me to enjoy myself. I can’t work, because I am constantly campaigning for his release. I am i nundated with messages of hate and threats from vile cyberbullies.
“I’ve suffered anxiety and depression.
“I’ll have to wait a long time before we share a home together, but despite all that, I still choose Charlie. If that isn’t proof that I love the bones of the man, then what is?”
