It is a play on odd British pronunciations - for example, Worcester pronounced Wooster etc. There's not much to go on, but perhaps a UK 'catter may know it. The following is all he can recall: Two lines are:
Then the curate (a BA from Caius) And: The choir was from Beauleigh The bridegroom was 'from Cholmondeley' and the bride was 'quite colmondeley'. That's it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. --Stewie.
