Best Man Falls
Tony Blair famously told Gordon Brown - once upon a time - that he would have to get married, if he were ever to become Prime Minister.
I wonder if Mr Blair has also been having a quite word in Ed Miliband's ear.
Because the current Labour leader has at long last announced that he too will be tying the knot - in May when he plans to marry his long-term partner, Justine.
Ed has also let it be known that he won't be having a 'best man' on his big day - something of a surprise.
So brother David - whom he narrowly defeated for the Labour party leadership - won't be performing this traditional role.
Perhaps it's just as well - because it's customary for the 'best man' to tell rude and embarassing tales about the groom - in his wedding reception speech.
Might have got out of hand.
