United!

Hearty congratulations to Ben, the other half of Black & White & Read All Over, who tied the knot with his long-term girlfriend Jenni at the weekend.

I'll resist the temptation to record the events of the day in the style of a match report, not least because it all gets a little hazy somewhere in the second half when the flavoured vodka came on as an impact sub for lager. Suffice to say it was a fantastic celebration for a lovely couple, and a blessed relief that I never again have to mangle the pronounciation of "foraminiferae" in front of a room packed to the rafters with their close friends and family.
