Weddings: Other People's

My cousin Maurice got hitched yesterday to his now wife Jo.

They were incredibly lucky with the perfect sunny, warm Spring weather. The set-up was perfect too with a lovely pub for a pre-nuptial sharpener just across the road from the old church in the idyllic village of Cookham Dean where they live.

The reception was at the phenomonal Inn On The Green and delivered what in my humble was the best wedding food I've ever had. It started with scallops, followed by impeccable suckling pig and finnished with tart tatin. Superb.

The speeches were great too, and the Best Man recounted a long forgotten, but wonderfully entertaining story of an unhappy 12-year-old Maurice's letter home from 'the back streets of Toulouse.' This is a classic tale of early-teenage angst and deserves to be published here at some point.

Anyway, here's a photo of the happy couple and one of us -- another happy couple with all this to look forward to in only a few short weeks.

Aw -- you all look lovely. Can't wait to read the letter; what on earth could a 12-year-old find to be angst-ridden about in Toulouse? Has he ever returned?
