My Wedding
I was part of a documentary created by ginger media for BBC 2. It was 10 years ago when some royal was getting married, and Ginger decided to do a series of documentaries on weddings. The spoke to various wedding shops and the one my missus visited was one of them. They thought our story was very interesting, mostly because myself & the current Mrs Biscuit met on t'interweb, which back then was quite rare (the meeting, not the web, back then the web wasn't rare, just slow), also as she was from Yankland it meant that they got a jolly out to the USA to do some filming. Anyway, upshot was yeah, we had our 30 minutes of fame, which was pretty cool. Got recognised quite a lot after that for a few months.

The week it was supposed to be shown in England was the week Foggy from last of the summer wines popped his clogs so it was postponed, however, a week later I was working in Scotland for a week (the missus came with me), and I didn't realise, but that it was on TV up there. The following morning the look on the face of the bloke in the hotel reception was comical, he was totally gobsmaked & speechless!!

That Saturday, on the way home we stopped at the barras market in Glasgow, some woman recognised us and dragged us all the way through to meet her hubby, and introducing us to everyone of the stall holders on the way (and done it as if she new us).

Was very amusing, and we got a lot of the wedding stuff cheap because when we told them is was going to be on TV, they gave us a great price and great service for the "advertising potential" of it being on TV.

That is all. Carry on.
