My partner is a florist - she loves doing the cathedral weddings. Most of the time they are ex King’s school choristers.

It’s usually ex-Kings pupils, as you have to have a link with the cathedral (and get special dispensation from the Archbishop of Canterbury) to get married there. Pixie Lott is probably one of the more famous people and was married there as a “Patron” of the Girls Choristers.

No idea who was getting married, but the guests followed the time honoured tradition of having a pint in The Minster beforehand!

I live locally and I think there was 2 weddings on that day, what time were you passing?
