Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds had a secret wedding and Twitter threw shade, not confetti
After the red herring of last week’s ‘save the day’ cards, Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds have been married in a short ceremony at Westminster Cathedral.
Mr Johnson, 56, exchanged vows with Ms Symonds, 33, at the Catholic Cathedral in Londonhttps://t.co/WJfqv8eQA3

There were questions about how a divorced man had managed to get his nuptials held* at the foremost Roman Catholic church in England.
The catholic church’s commendable flexibility in marrying the Prime Minister and Carrie Symonds will bring great hope to other divorced Catholics, lesbians and gay men

I see lots of Roman Catholics and constitutional lawyers trying to puzzle out the validity of Boris and Carrie Johnson’s marriage.
Surely the answer is simple – the rules don’t apply to him.

*You’re making up your own jokes now.
Some people thought it might have been a distraction from any negative news surrounding the PM.

I asked Carrie if she would make me the happiest man alive, by helping me distract attention from Dominic Cummings.#boriswedding pic.twitter.com/E06n3pxmyY

Perish the thought.
Twitter threw more than confetti – it threw shade.

I just couldn't wait to get married! I'm only unfaithful to married women, and there's no way I can wait until next year to cheat on Carrie. #BorisWeddinghttps://t.co/mpF81mursS

Des Swayne's best man speech was memorable. Therese Coffey had to wrestle him off the mic after two sentences, then he went out in the car park and smashed all the guest's motors up with a baseball bat. pic.twitter.com/CsQ3r18G4H

Boris Johnson and Carrie Symonds married in secret this morning apparently. I guess they had to as a church full of people laughing as they made promises in their vows would've really ruined it for them.

De Piffle Johnson gets down on one knee.
"I want to ask you a question, Carrie"
"What's the cheapest wedding we can do, as I'm broke but I need a diversion."

the great thing about a dead cat wedding is that you can also get a dead cat divorce later on
