I agree on that one, Steve. Wedding clobber (and all the other cost incurring stuff) has got well and truly out of hand. Something like 20 years I went to a nephew's wedding in an Oxfordshire hall and they had set out a massive conservatory for the event - a few hundred seated in it. Had the weather been overcast it might have been pleasant. As it was, the day was a scorcher outside, and inside a greenhouse was terrible. We had bowls of yellow liquid and wrappers where butter was supposed to be, and few of the guests felt much better. Fortunately we just had ordinary suits and could dump jackets etc but the main party had gone for the full tails and top hats and were glared at by various parties to keep it all on because of photographs.
