I was banned from bringing penguins to a wedding once. This was a stuffed Tux, not a tux. It was the Linux mascot at the time, and they'd been to several weddings amongst our friendship group already. In fact one couple issued formal invitations, place settings and a cuddly toy fish each.I went to a wedding reception last night at the Greaves Park in the city. It was a good do, I took photo's of the happy couple to send to my OH in London, she was impressed that is was so informal - no sign of penguins.

One (former) friend wanted her wedding to be extremely pretentious and serious and stipulated "absolutely no penguins". So Tux stayed in the car park, sitting on the dashboard of our camper van.

Hubby subtly wore this tie, but we reckoned the bride would be too preoccupied to notice, and the guests who spotted it would just chuckle to themselves.

What we hadn't imagined was that the wedding reception would involve an excruciatingly pretentious ceremony of bubbly drinking with a string quartet on the lawn, and that the couple and all the guests would process from the hotel to the lawn, through the car park, right past the van with cheerful
penguin in full view through the windscreen...

Edit: no thunder on the south coast either but we have a refreshing breeze today
