August 10, 2008

We had an interesting experience at ch today. Have you ever heard of the banns being read? Believe it or not, they still do that here! It's not just for movies- just today at ch they read out "Bob Smith, bachelor of St Someone's parish to Susie Jones, spinster of St Someone else's parish..." About 5 couples are getting married, and they are legally required to read that information out. After they list all the names they say "If any of you has any reason that they not be married you must come forward with that information." They have to read that out like 3 times according to the law. My favorite part was "spinster." These girls are not THAT old- but they're older than 25, so maybe that's considered being a spinster? I have no idea. :)

Our trip to Norwich yesterday was good- it rained all day, but we had fun anyway. I haven't processed my photos yet but I'll get to them soon. I hope you're enjoying your weekend wherever you are!
