  "textContent": "Our friends Simon and Minnie got married at Oaks Farm.\n\nSimon was properly dressed in frock coat and cravat along with the ushers including me. Minnie, her bridesmaid and her mum wore the traditional Japanese kimono and obi.\n\nIt the first wedding I have been to where the Registrar was the first to cry! A fantastic day and we wish them every happiness for the future.\n\nOaks Farm is right in the middle of Croydon but is surrounded by golf courses and is in a valley. We couldn't believe how quiet and tranquil it was.",
