They chose Riveiside Hotel. Grand Hotel: interior too old-fashioned; London Eye: best man scared of heights. a bit gimmicky
Transcript 7/B 07 Charlotte Right. so the fint yenue ii I the Grand HoteL
Alex The one in Park Street? Isn't that rather posh?
Charlotte Come on! You onty get manier! once. Ale*... hopefully.
Anyway. it's morÄ™ affordable than you'd think and actually it Has auite a lot going for it. in my opinion.
Alex Let me see the photo o-f the interior... Mmm. imp:essive. but fm not so keen on the decor. It's a bit oid-fashioned for my liking.
Charlotte So you're not convinccd? Alex Not really. Show me the ncxt option.
Charlotte The ne*t one is the Riycrside Motel just outside Stougnton. Alex No*- that looks much morÄ™ our style.
Charlotte Yes, true, and it serves exccllenl food apparcntly. and lhere’s a stunning bridge over the r/vcr where we can stand for the wedding pnotos.
Alex Ali right. noware therc any drawbacks that you can think of? Charlotte Weil. what puts me off slightly is the location. Ifs in a tiny yillagc which is only acccssible by car. and I don’t imagine eyeryone will to want to drive.
Alex Weil. I suppose there are ways around that. V?c could hire a coach to transport people there. Yes. I think this one's dcfiniteFyworth considering. Charlotte Okay. wrdl. aefore we make any hasty dccisions, lefs move onto Ihe last option. I thinkyou're going to like this too.
Ale* ... thafs the London Eye? Charlotte Yes! They have a ticence to hołd civil ceremonies therc. Yfouldn'! il be so fantastic lo get married up there in the sky wilh those amaring vie-*-s? Alex It would be orilliant! But... how would atlof our guests Fit into one of lhose capsules? And the other thing is. what about |ack, my best man? Me's petrified of heights!
Charlotte Thafs truć ... and anyway. perhaps the wholc thing is a little bil gimmicky. Ali right. on reflection. maybe we should reject that option Ihen. So shallwe go for the Riyerside? Alex Yes. I'lt go along with that.
