Weddings
"It went off very well, I think," said Mr. Grace. "In spite of the heat everyone seemed to be enjoying it, and the bride looked charming."
"It always does, and she always does," declared Liz. "I mean I've never heard of a wedding that didn't go off well, have you, darling? Can you imagine anyone saying, 'It didn't go off very well, did it? And wasn't the bride plain?"
-D. E. Stevenson, The Four Graces, 13.
