The Vicious Vicar

When you go to a wedding, you instantly think that the couple have had some connection with the vicar. They’ve at least sat down with them over a cup of tea and discussed how they’d like the ceremony to proceed. But this vicar was clearly on the clock. She actually slammed the church door shut as soon as the last person crossed the threshold. The next stage of the day was to have photos taken in the church grounds. We were waiting to be called up to take our positions and some horses pulling a carriage had arrived to convey the happy couple to the reception venue. I took my nieces over to stroke them while we waited. The horses had pulled up on the road right outside the church entrance. And there in the driveway was the vicar sitting in her mini with a fag in her mouth waiting for the horses to move. It’s got a great image for the church, and we must wonder what her passion is.
