Car seems a good idea.
- F***.
- F***.
Leave it. No one will notice.
Well...
...sorry I'm late. Traffic.
Yeah.
Who is it today?
One more, please.
They're ready to go.
In the name of the Father...
...and of the Son...
...and of the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
Let us pray.
Father, you have made the bond of
marriage a holy mystery...
...a symbol of Christ's love
for His church.
Hear our prayers for
Bernard and Lydia...
...through your son, Jesus Christ
our lord...
...who lives and reigns with you...
...and the Holy goat.
Ghost.
One God, forever and ever. Amen.
It's his first time.
He's a friend of the family.
- Excellent.
- Bernard and Lydia...
...I shall now ask if you freely
undertake the obligations of marriage.
Bernard, repeat after me:
I do solemnly declare...
I do solemnly declare...
...that I know not of
any lawful impediment...

That's r... That's right.
May almighty God bless you all.
The Father, the Son and the
Holy spigot... Spirit.
Amen.
Bravo!
Bravo!
Bravo!
Thanks.
- We're coming, Bernie.
- Up here!
Sorry.
Sorry. Sorry.
That way? Yes, of course.
- Sorry. Could you two...
- Tom, don't go away.
Sorry.
I've got a new theory
about marriage.
Two people are in love, they live
together, and then suddenly...
...one day they run out
of conversation.
Totally. They can't think of
a single thing to say to each other.
That's it. Panic.
Then suddenly...
...it occurs to the chap that there is
a way out of the deadlock.
- Which is?
- He'll ask her to marry him.
Brilliant. Brilliant!
They've got something to talk about
for the rest of their lives.
You're saying marriage is a way
to get out of a pause in conversation.
The definitive icebreaker.
Tom, how's the speech coming along?
It's pretty good, I think.
Something for everyone.
Tears, laughter.
Excellent.
I think it's a very good
theory, Gareth.
There is another argument that it
has something to do with true love.
Now there's a thought.
Can I help you, sir?
Can I have three glasses
of brandy, please?
Hi.
Hello.
How are you?
Fine. Fine.
Yeah. Sorry, I'm overwhelmed
to see you.
Look, don't go back
to America. Please.
- Be back in two secs, okay?
- Okay.
Hi, Fi.
That's yours and yours.
See you in 5 hours.
- Something happened?
- Yes. This is a bloody great wedding.
Hi.
Well, you look perfect. In fact,
you probably are perfect.
- Well, how are you?
- I'm really well.
Charles, I'd like you
to meet Hamish, my fiance.
Excellent.
Excellent.
How do you do, Hamish?
Delighted to meet you.
Charming to find Carrie back here.
It took lots of persuading.
Come on, darling, I told James
I was getting you.
control over you already.
I'll see you later.
How are you doing, Charles?
Not great, actually, suddenly.
I don't know.
I mean...
What the hell's going on here?
Why am I always at weddings...
...and never actually
getting married, Matt?
It's probably because
you're a bit scruffy.
Yeah.
Or it could also be because you
haven't met the right girl.
But you see, is that it?
Maybe I have met the right girls.
Maybe I meet them all the time.
- Maybe it's me.
- Oh, nonsense.
My lords, ladies, and gentlemen:
Dinner is served.
Come on. Odds on you meet
your wife at dinner.
Yes.
Oh, my God.
Charles?
Hi.
- Hello, I'm Alistair.
- Great.
And I believe you know Veronica.
Yeah. Hi, V.
Nicki.
Great.
Tell me, are you married?
No.
Are you a lesbian?
Good lord!
Well, what made you say that?
It's one of the possibilities for
unmarried girls.
It's a bit more
interesting than saying:
"Oh, dear. Just never found
the right chap."
Quite right.
Why be dull?
Thank you.
The truth is, I have met the right
person, only he's not in love with me.
Until I stop loving him,
no one stands a chance.
Bad luck.
Yes, isn't it?
I was a lesbian once at school...
...but only for 15 minutes.
I don't think it counts.
There are 400 different
kinds of tea...
...and that's not including all these
so-called fruit teas.
look at the plantations.
Excellent.
I believe you and her
went there once.
That's right.
Charles was vile.
while I was ill.
I was cheering you up.
You're that Veronica!
Which Veronica?
Charlie?
Remember Bombay?
When Charles and I were going out,
he told me he'd had...
...this interesting journey
around India...
...with Vomiting Veronica.
I think that was it.
I don't remember ever mentioning it.
Maybe I did.
Oh, come on, Charles.
I don't think I've been out
with anyone less discreet.
That's a bit of an exaggeration.
It is not.
about this girl. Helena was it?
Her mother made a pass at you.
I remember this!
You couldn't work out if it would be
impolite not to accept her advances!
That's right!
Helena was Miss Piggy,
so her mother was Mrs. Piggy.
I think perhaps it was...
We've both lost a lot of weight
since then.
Ah, great. The speeches.
My lords, ladies, and gentlemen...
...pray silence for the best man.
When Bernard told me he was
getting engaged to Lydia...
...I congratulated him, because
all his other girlfriends...
...had been such complete dogs.
May I say we are delighted to have
so many of them here this evening.
I'm particularly delighted
to see Camilla...
...who many of you
will probably remember...
...as the first person
If I remember rightly,
she told him to sod off.
And lucky for Lydia that she did.
It's very disappointing.
We had the most adorable girl
Apparently her fiance's awfully
grand and he owns half of Scotland.
- How are you?
- I'm stuck in the wedding from hell.
Ghosts of girlfriends
past at every turn.
If I see Henrietta,
the horror will be complete.
Hello, Charles.
