So, when I was 30 minutes late to my own wedding, I was upholding a tradition? Is that a British tradition? BTW--I'm usually late to everything. Except supper. |

I have consulted my wife who (obviously) was once a bride, and she advises that 5 minutes is about right and in line with British custom. 30 minutes might be considered a bit or a lot unfortunate depending on e.g. the temperature of the wedding venue, the hardness of the seats, and how long since the congregation last ate anything. All this is clearly set out in Britain's (unwritten) constitution, I think in chapter 17 and appendix XXII.
PS - congratulations Bife |
