Laugh? Laugh?! Surely there are 'garden weddings' in the UK. I was
very surprised that this was reckoned a first. And then to read
"...since the 1994 Marriage Act allowed licences for 'seemly and
dignified premises'". We could certainly do with a little regulation
over here. Underwater weddings in scuba grear, or in mid-air while
parachuting, or in the aisles of WalMart, or at the end of a local
marathon with bride and groom in running gear -- 'bride' added a
square of white netting.

I can't think of a much more "seemly and dignified" venue than a
community garden.
