The pressure to find a plus-one to take to a family wedding has proved so great for one man that he has advertised online for a partner for the day.

Matt, a 38-year-old man from London, was so desperate to take a guest to his sister’s wedding in Sligo that he placed an ad on Irish classified ads website Done Deal for a lady who is easy on the eye, likes talking about cows and has her own teeth.

Duties on the day may involve a kiss or two - and intimate gestures like holding hands at various points during the day, he says, “to keep the family happy”.

In return Matt promises an overnight stay in a hotel - single beds are mentioned - and pledges to pick you up and drop you home again in his hire car.

“There will be a free dinner out of it and some drink,” he promises in the ad, in which he describes himself as a 38-year-old 5ft 6in man looking for a “small girl” under that height.

But the lucky lady can expect a grilling from at least one member of Matt’s family. “I have a 14-year-old daughter that will ask you a lot of questions,” he warns.

Matt has been a bit of an internet hit since posting the advert to join him on September 25 and he’s been inundated with responses from lovely ladies who would like to help him fool his family into thinking they are a genuine couple in love.

He’s even updated his advert to see if his date can bring a younger brother for his 23-year-old sister, Ciara, who is also struggling to find a plus-one for the day.

“She will be the only one at the table on her own,” he writes. “She’s not like me – she will be happy for him to know nothing about farming.”

“The ad’s all really a bit of fun that I think might have got just a little out of hand,” Matt told Quirker.

“I’ve been single the last three years because I’ve had no time for dating. I started up my own steel welding and erection company with a friend of mine two years ago and it takes up most of my time.

“I have had lots of replies a so far by email and by text. I’m starting to think I’ll have to do a night out with them all and pick the one that know the most about the cows.

“I believe that if I turn up on my own after this even the priest at the wedding will laugh at me. To be honest I didn't think I wound have any answers back so I'm still in shock with it all.”

So, what magic words did Matt use to potentially meet the lady of his dreams? You can read the full advert here…
