I did! We did not get the full tour (second floor was where the bridal party was staying, so was inaccessible due to wedding chaos), but got to poke around the ground floor (big old fireplace) and grounds generally. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

#FourWeddingsAndAFuneral was a fun #HATM kick-off for summer for me.

Thanks as always to the #HATM crew. See you all next week.

I think Charles was the connection for her to the group - she has her family, whereas he seems largely on his own. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

As with Dracula, it's always good to have a Texan on hand in England, just to solve any problems that might arise. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

I enjoy that his friend group is taking care of him - like, yes, he was the bastard here, but even still everybody needs to be taken care of sometimes. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

Should be safe as far as genetics go, and acceptable within the British cultural frameworks - Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip were second cousins, once removed. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

This is sort of the British version of Reality Bites, just focused purely on romance rather than work-life. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

I assume she knew some of them through college - she might have studied aboard or done a degree at Oxford or the like (though we never learn what really anyone does for work, which is also a possible point of contact). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

The smokestack belching into the air behind the church is a pretty major clue on the class of these characters, compared to a wedding in the Highlands. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

She is American - she is an outsider, and she can (and will!) always go home before things get too difficult, which is maybe one of the points of friction with Hamish. But as it stands, she gets to be free of the class entanglements. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

"Matthew, Gareth's closest friend." Glad to live in a more open and loving world, if we can keep it. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

Agreed. She has the elements of a manic pixie dream girl, but distinctly has her own agency and has an internal life we are not privy to, yet casts a certain gravity (like rom com dark matter). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

Yeah, the technology just didn't exist yet (but that is also a solution to a lot of 90s rom coms). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

I did like that she is nonchalant and unembarrassed about it - unusual for the time, and maybe still so (especially where she's not defined by those sexual escapades). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

More of a rom-actioner (like Point Break), just with more jokes. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

I mean, we don't really make rom coms anymore, but he has transitioned well into serious actor - Paddington 2 and Heretic being among his best roles. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

First doesn't matter here - what matters is that it is a proper race about actual issues (and not how much the washed up reality star is going to lose by). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

Interstingly, his Blackadders are almost ALL talking comedy (and facial expressions). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

There are class elements (the cars and some of the outfits), and differences in the venues (castles vs. halls), but it is pretty far removed. Race is effectively nonexistent here, however, which is something of a Richard Curtis problem. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

My friends in LA are Raman supporters, so this is delightful. #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM

We were sort of drilled for that at my sister's wedding, where there were a few uncertainties about who would show up and whether there would be a scene (I ended up having to step in to play my dad's role, though that at least went smoothly). #FourWeddingsAndAFuneral #HATM
