You've all lost me. Since when did brides stop walking down the aisle in church?

The Aisle isn't the bit in the middle they walk down. The Aisles are to the side (I think).

Walking through the nave up to the chancel doesn't have the same ring to it guess.

Anyway, people can get married anywhere these days so the expression is largely outdated.

An Elvis Chapel wedding is the only option, shirley?

Weddings on the CG pitch on matchdays is an excellent idea though.

See I thought the nave was the whole of the central space, whereas the aisles were any of the passages between seats. “Walking the bride down the nave” doesn’t sound very idiomatic to me.

Better than taking her up the central passageway.

It takes a while to filter down. Not that I think it’s acceptable, but that’s the reason

Strange how when prices go up it happens overnight yet when prices come down it takes weeks,  or we hear excuses as to why it hasn’t come down and it doesn’t come down.
Understand what you are saying and in theory you are correct but it NEVER works like that.

Clap Great Story for the Grandkids. You seem pretty chilled about it! Also (pedantry alert) "We were due to get married and walk down the isle at 2:30pm.
I thought journalists were supposed to be able to spell? I'm just getting old.

The way I see it, it's happened, I can do fuck all to change it, so best to go with it. I am *gutted* about it. Those solar panels have been there since 2011. Of all the minutes, in all the hours, in all the days, months and years since, it chose when I was waiting for the guests in the venue to catch fire. Shit luck doesn't even cover it.
