Would this be the social event of the season we’re talking about here? The date of which was decided so as not to clash with Royal Ascot or Henley? If you look at the Royal Box in centre court at Wimbledon on Saturday, it’ll be a decidedly B list affair.
As you well know, the bride and groom (alright … me and Debs) are such quiet, shy, reserved, conservative types, who don’t like to cause a fuss, the wedding itself was a small, intimate affair.
We weren’t even going to have a big bash for the uncouth rabble we refer to as our friends, but after the ceremony the registrar informed us that, by law, a northern marriage can’t be classed as officially consummated until somebody has uttered the phrase “can you hold me ‘air back for me while I’m sick?” afterr too many WKD Blues. So we are where we are.
We even had to combine it with a popular mountain biking festival to ensure anyone would actually bother to turn up
Oh… and basically, dress like a northerner. Make an effort! But best not ‘full scouse’ as that’s probably a bit much. Definitely not a southerner. Every time I go to London I’m amazed by how little effort people make. They look like they’ve chosen their clothes blindfolded in M&S. and once you’re outside London everyone looks like they’ve just finished mucking out 😀
