Marriage

On a day when we hear of another engagement between friends, I coincidentally came across this quote from Lupin Pooter in a Diary of a Nobody: To my mind a wedding’s a very poor play. There are only two parts in it –the bride and bridegroom. The bestman is only a walking gentleman. With the exception of a crying father and a snivelling mother, the rest are SUPERS who have to dress well and have to PAY for their insignificant parts in the shape of costly presents. (Nov 18)
