Love in London: We'll be married with 100 other couples
Available for over a year
London is a city of nine million people, and love blooms all across the capital. Every week Salma El-Wardany speaks to a different London couple about their love story. How they met, where, when, and what it all means to them - and we'll also hear some music they've chosen that's been important to their relationship. This week Salma's meeting Andy and Mel - a couple who found each other during an Easter Bonnet competition, with a romance that blossomed in late 80s West London. Theirs is a sustained relationship sailing across the decades of the sometimes choppy waters of LGBTQ+ London - and about to be officially recorded in the most unusual of wedding ceremonies in Marylebone, as part of a special celebration of the venue featuring 100 weddings for £100.
