A reader informs of a couple who must be much-relieved to learn that Muslim Fun Day was cancelled — they had their wedding double booked for the same day.

From the Telegraph story from last month:

A couple’s plans for a £5,000 wedding at Alton Towers were thrown into confusion yesterday after it emerged that the theme park had double booked them with a fun day for 20,000 Muslims.
Amanda Morris, 30, and her fiance, Scott Lee, 31, have been told that if they go ahead with the ceremony they will not be allowed to go on celebratory rides together.
Furthermore, Miss Morris and her female guests will have to cover up to be in line with guests of Islamic Leisure wearing hijabs. “I’ve been looking forward to this day for 18 months, and suddenly it’s in ruins,” she said yesterday.

Me: There’s a deeper metaphor in all this, I’m sure.
