M forgot to mention below that on top of all the form-filling, swearing on bibles, and paying of money I shall be expected to attend the British Consulate with my left trouser leg rolled up, show my right nipple and perform the secret ceremonial handshake.

I sometimes wonder if it's only the British that have to put up with this sort of bizarreness, I mean Finns can do bureaucracy just as well as us - if not better - but they don't have this strange need to couple it with throwbacks to tradition or religion  - Seriously... swear on a bible? Thats certain to stop any determined bigomist in his/her tracks isn't it?

Personally I'm suspicious that all this additional hassle is just their way of justifying the UNBELIEVABLE amount of cash they want to charge me for a marriage license... It better had be a bloody nice Bible.
