Good evening, Gentlemen,
Barty, I know we've scarcely just parted, but I've just had an idea - only I do wish I'd had it earlier, so I could have shared it with you in person. Anyway, this is just as well, because it has just as much to do with Antonin as it does you.
All those venues we looked at yesterday were just lovely. Somerset House was unspeakably grand, as was the Banqueting House, and both they or the Kew Gardens would provide a splendid and decadent backdrop to any celebration. But I don't know if decadent is quite the thing... what I mean to say is that I'd far prefer something meaningful to something showy.
What if we were to marry at Cottesmore? Would that be entirely inconvenient? Only it's your family home, really - both of yours - so I thought, why not there? I only want the people that we truly care about to be in attendance, so there's no need for a venue that will hold half of New London. And Cottesmore is, in a manner of speaking, where Barty and I first came to know one another.
How do you fancy the idea?
