A wedding vs being sent to jail

It was Friday. 8th July 2011  The day after everything would be over after all. and the next day it would be all over. I couldn’t believe it, it had been the most stressful month ever.

The last week was had been especially hard. I remember that I was really / completely overwhelmed; going back and forth, without sleeping, solving every kind of problem that could happen those days. you could imagine. I was definitely worn out.

I was driving to the country house where it was supposed we were going to /  all  planned that we should spend the weekend. I  felt/ was feeling pretty nervous, excited indeed. I only wished and wishing that everything would run smoothly. I had just left the motorway in order to take the regular road towards Vejer. Suddenly, in at a crossroads, a policeman indicated that I had to stop.

He submitted me to a breathalyzer test in which I got 0’0. However, he decided not to let me go. In fact, he asked for my driving licence. I felt embarrassed because I had blocked my glove box was crammed with so much stuff so that I couldn’t reach the document. Finally, I got them/ retrieved it and the policeman could checked everything was fine. Even so, he began to look around the car and check saw that in the rear of the car, the rows of seats seat backs were folded down and it there was plenty of weird / unusual stuff. He asked me – ‘What is it for?’. I just told him about the wedding.

Immediately his face changed and he said ‘If you want, you can / could be held in custody for several days, so you could / and avoid to get getting married’.



PS Curiously, in Spanish "esposados" means both; handcuffed and married. ;-) I like this !

Well done Mer. The meaning was very clear, I have altered it principally to make it more colloquial.
