So... first in best dressed?

Well that would be good if I were planning a wedding. Not so many people to invite, less stress, less nervousness, no ridiculous reception. Just get it over and done with. Would suit me.

Five people all marrying each other ! Perverts !

The only downside is that when you have five women, you have five mother in law ! 😂😂😂

I thought 2 people was the norm😂

So much for the one man and one woman brigade 😂

It's now or never for low-budget weddings ! No one will bear a grudge if they're not invited to the party !

God, don't tell me there's a shortage of Vicars now!

Now *that* is a relaxed policy

Thought it was only two.?

I thought it was restricted to two

You may kiss the bride from across the room...

I thought is was only usually 2?

5 is right out

Or, five, so long as they all remain socially distant until isolation do they part.

Surely you cant catch the virus in a church. For an ominipotent creator, God doesnt do much, does he?

'And in other news it appeared the General Synod had changed Canon Law to declare Marriage as a lifelong union between five people. Later, the Bishop of Bonkers blamed the mishap on the Synod meeting on Skype & the number was actually 4'.

Heals or DPS for wedding clear, pst

So five people can’t get married? To each other? Only five people can get married? Very puzzling 🤔

house of satan

Progressive move. A minor wrinkle is all five still have to be different genders.

There are Mormons in England?

I think the Church of England being that open to polyamory is great.
