The Wedding Video Page #2

because I said 'no' initially.

She's joking.

Alex's charity events, perfection.

I'm blushing here. So embarrassing.

Do you remember the buffet

for Famine Relief?

Oh, my God.

I've still got half of it in the freezer.

Have you?

I'll have it back for the next one.

- It's in a good cause.

- No, actually, we do raise a lot of money.

- We try and put something back.

- Like today.

- We've got great lives and...

- Very good cause. Let's drink to that.

- The alcohol abused children.

- Absolutely.

Great lad.

Great lad this.

As Saskia's step-dad, I suppose you're

doing 'the father of the bride' speech?

- That's a great idea. Des, you should.

- No, no.

We would love that.

- Oh, good.

- Thanks.

- Are you from round here?

- Initially, yes. I'm a traveller now.

- What?

- I travel.

- Country to country, or lay-by to lay-by?

- Abroad.

Right. For a minute there you had me

reaching for my handbag.

Because if I were a traveller

I might try to rob you. That's...

Of course not,

they don't all try to rob you.

The adults keep you talking.

The children rob you.

Raif, where are you?

- I'm over here in England, in about 1700.

- Oh, you've met.

This is Saskia's grandmother, Patricia.

Patricia, this is my brother Raif.

- Brother?

- Yes.

Here's me asking if you know

Manor House. You went.

No. Tim got a scholarship.

I went to Roton High, same as Saskia.

She was in the year above me.

Was above me in most things,

to be perfectly honest.

When Saskia got told off it was

by the Headmaster.

I only ever managed the Deputy Head.

The last time I saw Saskia Dutton, she was

being carried out of the chemistry lab,

a teacher at either end having drunk

an entire test tube of industrial alcohol.

- That was so funny. Remember?

- F*** off.

- Tim, shall we get another drink?

- What a good idea.

This is the actual day. Saskia Dutton is

meant to be in this photograph but eh...

well, she knew all the teachers

would be out on the field so,

that was the day

of the chemistry lab raid.

If she'd looked up as she was carried

into that ambulance--

- I got a duvet and pillows and stuff.

- Look, look.

Cool.

Have you really not opened any

of these boxes from mum and dad's?

I've been kinda busy, having a job,

getting married, buying this duvet.

Come on, man. This is you and me in

these boxes. This is us, our whole lives.

Yeah. Okay, well knock yourself out.

Got a bit of an early start. All right?

- Sleep well.

- Night, mate.

5330 am.

The only people awake are milkmen,

crack addicts,

and women preparing for a wedding.

- Do you have to do this?

- Course he does. It's background.

- Have you filmed the home cinema?

- Yeah.
