I can't tell you about the wedding...the way the men dressed in black and the women with great organza and taffeta  skirts billowed and swirled in colours from a Goya painting...the way it all started like a gunfight and exploded into a wild night of eating and drinking and dancing and laughing...how the strings of lights glittered and the dancing spilled onto the street...I can't tell you how the children ran laughing round the balconies chasing the gypsy man with his violin...no I can't tell you any of that..
But I can tell you what Sanchia did...how right from the start she listened very carefully to the story we told...how she took the spirit of the celebration and the the beauty of the music hall and without any fuss weaved it all together to create a feast for eighty that was simple and sexy and very very lush.
I can tell you how she laid the tables out in the music hall... long and splendid covered in white linen and bought out great trays of fresh shucked oysters all salt and ocean dripping with bottles of old London porter... how pomegranates were split and dripping red and great slices of bread were smeared with buttery shrimps and crab... beets and crisp English lettuce in bowls with duck eggs passed down the tables and huge pies filled with soft creamy potato and lovage were laid out and roughly sliced and devoured.
And I can tell you how later as the mariachis began to play she sent in a trolley the size of a tall man piled high with seed cakes and cream cakes and lemon cakes and sweet dripping fat honey cakes and the champagne flowed and the first toast of the night was to the unassuming genius of Miss Sanchia Lovell...
