The tent is perfect. It stands proudly. It’s very warm inside. And there’s going to be one hell of a party in it tomorrow.

CHARLOTTE (11:41 PM)

I’m not shimmying up or down any drainpipes.

ELLIOT (11:42 PM)

I’ve never heard it called that before.

Seriously, though. Once the ceremony and the speeches and the dinner are over, we should be able to slip away for a few minutes unnoticed

CHARLOTTE (11:43PM)

Then I’d better get my beauty sleep. George is picking me up at 7:30 AM. Since Max drove himself up there, he’s offered George to take me.

ELLIOT (11:44 PM)

Oh, you and old George will have a great time.

CHARLOTTE (11:44 PM)

I adore him.

ELLIOT (11:46 PM)

Good. Sleep tight. Look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

And the shimmying. *blushing and smiling emoji*

CHARLOTTE (11:47 PM)

There’ll be no shimmying.

Night, night. *crescent moon emoji*

Saturday, Aug 16th

ELLIOT (07:42 AM)

Are you in the car and on your way?

CHARLOTTE (07:43 AM)

Yes. How’re things there?

ELLIOT (07:45 AM)

Chaos. Dad just tried to make breakfast.

Let me know when you’re nearly here.

CHARLOTTE (07:46 AM)

Of course.

(12:45 PM)

Just pulling up to the gates.
