A groom has faced court after a minister refused to perform a marriage because he said the man was too drunk.

Musician Jacob Francis Brookes, 41, had his buck's celebration the night before he was supposed to tie the knot back in February, in Adelaide's western suburbs.

Police were called to the Uniting Church at Exeter and charged Brookes with disorderly behaviour and resisting arrest.

He briefly faced Port Adelaide Magistrates Court today and denied to reporters after the hearing he had been too drunk when he turned up at the church.

"I had three beers, two Jamos [Jameson Whiskey], two shots of Jamo - that's not drunk," he said.

The still-single man said he remained hopeful of winning the heart of his intended bride.

"I miss her to bits ... she's always in my heart," he said.

Brookes says there are things he would do differently now.

"I regret choosing [that minister] as the marriage celebrant at my wedding and I had my buck's night the night before, bro. I mean, come on, we're all men here," he said.

After talking to the media outside the hearing, Brookes hugged a TV reporter before walking off.

His case will return to court next month.
