After the wedding - odds and ends
The music
Given that we had a question or two (some appreciative and curious, some of them more on the befuddled end), we thought we should share our wedding playlists with you (though they are not necessarily in that order).

Linguistic confusion?
How do you say “Who would buy blue coats” in Slovak, or “Oh, there is snow on the mountains” in Welsh? Doris didn’t want to heckle during Lucy’s wonderful speech, so here it is, with the bride’s sincerest apologies to any actual Slovak or Welsh speakers.
To-weet, To-woo?
Why were there owls on the tables?
In the late 1970s, a little boy called Alan had an imaginary friend called Mister Owly. In the late 1980s, an awkward teenager called Doris developed a Thing, which was to draw an owl as a sign-off next to her name.
In the late 1990s, they both lived in Staines at the same time… but they never knowingly crossed paths. In the early 2010s, however, … well, the rest is history. We wanted to commemorate this serendipitous bird linking us - and it made for a better decoration than vistas of Staines (our sincerest apologies to the Staines-upon-Thames tourist board).
