From The "No Comment" DepartmentAn investigation is underway into a drunken vicar who had to be locked in the vestry after he fell over on his way into a church to conduct a wedding.
A replacement had to take the ceremony after Reverend Brian Taylor allegedly fell over in front of nearly 100 wedding guests,while it was believed he was drunk, and had to be ushered into the sideroom.
He could then apparently be heard shouting 'In the name of the Lord, I'm not drunk' from behind the door, while Chris John and Lori Collins were getting married at St George’s Church, in Cwmparc, South Wales.
The vicar has has now reportedly been given a month's leave to 'deal with some issues', according to The Sun.
A Diocese of Llandaff spokesman told MailOnline: 'This is a very unfortunate incident and we are investigating what happened. We are sincerely sorry for any upset or inconvenience caused to all those at the service.'
The happy couple, both 24 and from nearby Treorchy, South Wales, spent more than £20,000 on the wedding.

We had a local (Sacramento CA) case like this, at a Roman Catholic parish, about a year ago.
It was a baptism. They had to hustle Father Sh*t-Faced out, before he dropped the baby! [The diocese issued similar euphemisms, ala 'deal with some issues']
I don't think people seriously expect their priests to be "Alter Christuses", but some fail more spectacularly than others...
Is that what they mean by a high church vicar?
