Husband material skipped a ceremony, they say (2,5)
I believe the answer is:
mr right
'husband material' is the definition.
'skipped a ceremony they say' is the wordplay.
'skipped' becomes 'mr' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'a ceremony' becomes 'rite' (rite is a kind of ceremony).
'they say' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'rite' is a homophone of 'right'.
'mr'+'right'='MR RIGHT'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mr right that I've seen before include "Ideal man" , "Woman's ideal partner" , "Perfect man (for someone)" , "Utopian potential husband?" , "Ideal future husband" .)
