Honest John

‘“ELTON TAKES DAVID UP THE AISLE,” says the Sun. It’s the front-page headline that brings the big news story of Elton John’s wedding to David Furnish without offending the paper’s more homophobic readers.

So let’s take a look at Elton’s ring (oh, stop it, you’re killing us). The Mirror uses its front page to tell us that these his ‘n’ his rings cost £55,000.

That’s just dandy. But what of the party? Having not been invited to the simple ceremony, attended by the couple’s parents, a few close pals and Elton’s dog Arthur, we expect to see something of the do.

But no. Elton refused to sell snaps of the reception. All we get to see are pictures of guests arriving at the newlyweds’ home in Old Windsor.

Guests like Kelly Osbourne, looking glum as she makes her way by car to the party. Guests like Lisa Snowden, Louise Redknapp and other top entertainers who won’t outshine the star.

But what’s this? Why, if it isn’t multi-talented Victoria Beckham. Not in the least bit put out at not being invited to the ceremony proper, and not wishing to upstage the happy couple, Her Poshness is mincing up to the party in a vivid red cutaway dress. And, as the Mirror reports, that’s a £6million necklace plunging between her unquestionably natural breasts.

And here comes Liz Hurley. Like Posh, the mo-del/actress/mo-del/actress etc. wasn’t at the Guildhall. And for the party she’s wearing a flouncy, floor-length white number, festooned with white flowers.

And, very possible, a ring…’
