She stood slightly blinded for a second and raised the champagne tray to one hand while her eyes adjusted to the intense light. There were perhaps two hundred guests outside. The men, in the main, wore bespoke pin stripes or grey, many down to waistcoats, abandoning their jackets in the heat, each flashing some colour in their tie. Many of the ladies wore couture, more evidence of the wealth present. But despite the vibrancy, class and sophistication, all were put to shame by the bride. She stood with her new husband on the other side of the courtyard, surrounded by guests, like a queen.
