• What is the prevailing mood?
• What happened on the wedding day itself?
• What is the long term impact? ?No single research method can answer all of these questions

A BANK HOLIDAY “PLUS” SOMETHING SPECIALFrom our texts and images we saw that most were looking forward to spending time with friends and family primarily - but the wedding also prompted interest, excitement and the chance for new kinds of parties and events, often around the TV set.
SOME SAW THE WEDDING AS THE BACKGROUND TO THEIR DAY…
FOR OTHERS, IT WAS THE CENTREPIECE OF A MORE FORMAL EVENT
