Asian Wedding Toastmaster

As always, I was privileged to MC a Gujarati wedding at the Wembley Hilton today.

Typical Gujarati wedding … (well, maybe not entirely, with Groom arriving in a Lamborghini – it’s supposed to be a white horse) but a wonderful day at Wembley and a pleasure and honour to act as the wedding Master of Ceremonies and Toastmaster.
