xxxx insert wedding musical references here xxxx

While we were waiting for Escape to the Country to come on and thereby complete our evening, Mrs VVB and I were kind of obliged to watch the nuptials. I was quite taken with the two bros done up like human Christmas trees - I have never seen so much gold braid since Field Marshall Amin departed the scene - and that Harry's hair has probably never seen a comb since he was two.

Anyway it was a jolly jape for Mrs VVB and me and then they announce some hymn commissioned especially for the occasion. The opening bars sounded and - I swear this is the truth - Mrs VVB and I looked at each and said, "Rip off! But what from?"

It took me a minute or two.
Electric Dreams. I kid you not.

Anyway Escape to the Country's on, so ta ta.

the xmas tree outfits were not devised by harry and wills though.
there was a lot to be amused by last night and I don't understand the whiners and complainers.
the 186 horses were thrilling.

I had the sound MUTEd and just read Tweets through it all. Jenny Eclair was hilarious and vicious:
Earl Spencer looks like William Shatner, his daughters look like pole dancers, Pr Beatrice and pr Eugenie have come as The Ugly Sisters ... that sort of thing.

Now I know why I'm not on twitter. Sorry AoD, none of that made the slightest sense.
