I’m still dreading the couple who walk up the aisle and justify this ditty
from the Mikado:
The flowers that bloom in the Spring tra-la
Have nothing to do with the case.
I've got to take under my wing tra-la
A most unattractive old thing tra-la
With a caricature of a face,
With a caricature of a face.

| Bride and groom share a moment during the wedding ceremony |
The brides all look beautiful, we take that for granted. White dresses, joy, and weeks of being the centre of attention spread beauty onto the most ordinary face. And funnily enough as soon as you stick a flower in his buttonhole, every layabout, couch potato, lager lout, curmudgeon, skinflint and bluebeard suddenly becomes a dapper Prince Charming.

| Bridegroom with lily, an unusual buttonhole |
Even the most rumbustious of small boys, or large ones, become aware of their
importance and the glamour of the occasion when suitably buttonholed.

| Page boy and is that a wedding day chrysanthumum? |
There is something about a wedding day that adds charm to any face. Happiness,
or is it just modern make up? Perhaps it is something to do with the flowers? A rose by any other name?
Stick a rose in his buttonhole and every man is Romeo.
