As you`ve probably read in my profile, my good lady Joanne and I have been talking about getting married in a medieval style for quite some years now.
We were recently contacted by the BBC about a program they are putting together about historical wedding traditions etc. We of course said that we were interested.
A few days ago we held a phone interview with a member of the production team for the BBC. I should imagine that they must have had thousands of interested couples for this program, so have to be realistic about our chances of getting through to the program. But that said.......... fingers and toes crossed lol.  ;)

Oh excellent. How fun! Good luck with that.

But seriously, how can they turn someone down with armor? I'd venture to guess most of the other folks they're considering probably have just very simple garb.

Good luck, Sir Gerard. If it comes down to one of those "voting" things, be sure to post up; you have my vote.
