She’s traditionally late on her wedding day Uncle Arnold is waiting to give her away Neil her groom paces, what’s the delay ... Florist forgot Faye’s bridesmaid's bouquet! Look, Neil she’s here, we hear the Vicar say Organist starts, as the bride’s on her way Wedding March is the music they play Everyone looks to the church doorway Romantic wedding for Neil and Faye Service soon over, time for the buffet!

"Traditionally late on her wedding day?" Isn't one wedding more than enough? You are developing Lindsay's knack for story-telling! Aloha! Rico

And they say romance is dead. I mean, ‘Right, we’re married, now where’s the grub?’. Just kidding, Jan. Good luck in the contest. Terry
