Have you seen the special insert that was meant to be in the Prophet this morning? You haven't made off with it, have you? Or furry face? It says here at the end of the write up about that wedding that there's a special section with more pictures.

Anyhow, I'm snipping out the two that are here with the article and saving them for Bea to colour. There's a really good portrait shot of the two of them, with her train draped around in front. And the white marble of the church behind them. It'll be perfect for colouring. Hope you don't mind. Doesn't look to be anything important on the back of the page. Just the financial news.

What a beautiful church, though! St James, Spanish Place? I didn't even know it existed, but it looks like a fairy chapel, all lit with thousands of candles and so many flowers. Maybe we should take Bea to see it one day. It would make a nice outing, up to Marylebone, don't you think? And then we could have a picnic in the park. Next nice day we get.

It says here there were four officiants and a procession with nearly a hundred people to a flourish and march played by chamber musicians. There's a picture of the families all going up the aisle with the choir and the celebrants and the banners and regalia and all already up there. Her train must have been thirty feet long! In the picture, it's not all the way in the church yet and she's halfway up the aisle!

Think how many people were there, if there were a hundred up front like that.

It says they did full Spanish rites. I wonder what that included? They must have been at it a long time! Says the mothers levitated cloth of gold over them during the opening rites, and they did the thing where Pennifold cut the cloth, and their mothers put the halves around their shoulders as a sign of their motherly something or other. But it must have been nice. To have their mothers there. And fathers, I mean, too. Only, I think it must be nice to have a ceremony like that with all the families. If you've got a big family like they've got, I mean.


Anywiz. Where's that insert got to, do you know?

I think Ellie was looking at it, actually. I'll get it back from her.
