The Death of Imagination

As a straight couple who'd decided we didn't want to get married, but also didn't want to miss out on the party/reception/public-and-family-celebration aspect of the whole thing, we just booked a whole restaurant for lunch. It was in the process of regaining its Michelin star that it had lost after a change of chef, and they discussed all the menu options with us at length, and the decorations, and the drinks, and made a very good job of serving about 40 covers as nearly simultaneously as was possible.
