Swords and liberals
As noted by my other half, we spent Saturday at the wedding of some friends from University largely fending off questions regarding our own family planning.

Personally, I found being surrounded by a lot of men with swords slightly disconcerting, but in truth the wedding was clearly stamped with the mark of the couple involved, and I'm sure they had an excellent day (as did we - armed guests notwithstanding).

Quote of the day goes to the army chaplain performing the ceremony who came out with this, frankly brilliant, effort midway through his sermon:

"...the Church of England is becoming more liberal than the Dutch Government..."

Genius.

So hearty congratulations to the bride and groom, whose honeymoon is currently on hold whilst the groom goes off to work on his tan.
