Wedding Preparations In the Country

To Surrey on Saturday to celebrate the nuptials of my cousin's daughter. These took place at a big posh hotel in what used to be known as the stockbroker belt before the stockbrokers moved to Docklands and the Cayman Islands. It was a beautiful day and for reasons never satisfactorily explained there was a row of eight Morgan sports cars lined up in the hotel carpark. One crashed Porsche & a damaged Ferrari later, the nuptials passed off without incident. For some reason they took place in the rather alarmingly-named 'Lytton Strachey Suite'. When the just-cause-or-impediment moment came I was half-expecting someone to leap out and attempt to place themselves between the bride and groom. Thankfully, no-one did. Long life and happiness to Richard & Zoe.
