Who ate all the pies.........

Pork-loving couple say 'pie do'

[limbo]

BBC 'News' Story [news.bbc.co.uk]

A West Yorkshire couple ignored years of marriage tradition on their wedding day by opting for a three-tier pork pie instead of a cake.

"The three-tiered pork pie weighs in at 50lbs (22.6kg)"

Only in Yorkshire :o

I don't mind the odd pie but surely a cake would taste better.

Groom Stuart Booth [newsimg.bbc.co.uk] (aint he sexy?), 45, is a keen aficionado of the traditional pie who has been known to don a special pork pie man suit to promote the cause.

He said: "It was not my idea. Joanne first mentioned it because she knows my passion for pies and I thought it would be a good idea."

Asked if his mother-in-law approved of the plan, Mr Booth said on Friday: "As long as I'm not wearing the pork pie man suit - she won't be bothered."

MIL should be baked, not fried.

Well, I've eaten some wedding cakes which WOULD have tasted better had they been pork pies!

What IS pork pie? I keep imagining a pot pie but can't imagine a three tiered one! :)
