Fruit for every man getting married (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

persimmon

'fruit' is the definition.
(persimmon is a kind of fruit)

'every man getting married' is the wordplay.
'every' becomes 'per' ('per' means 'for each' or 'for every').
'man' becomes 'simon' (I've seen this before).
'getting' indicates putting letters inside.
'married' becomes 'm' (abbreviation, e.g. in genealogy).
'simon' enclosing 'm' is 'simmon'.
'per'+'simmon'='PERSIMMON'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for persimmon that I've seen before include "Tropical fruit" , "Orange fruit resembling a plum - miner's mop (anag)" , "Edible fruit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
