Wedding Intelligence

The bride promised to 'love, honour and cherish' rather than 'love. honour and obey.' The bride's brother, Mr. David Douglas-Home, said 'the service gives the alternative of "obey" or "cherish" and they thought the "obey" was rather stereotyped.'—Daily Telegraph, March 31.

Lady Douglas-Home told me later that the bride promised to 'love, honour and obey.'— Guardian , March 31.

It hardly seems to matter, since apparently no one was listening, anyhow.
