Britain’s former prime minister John Major looked proud as he gave away his daughter Elizabeth to her longterm boyfriend Luke Salter in a country church brimful of guests and fragrant with cream and white roses, lilies and trailing greenery. “After 28 years, I shall miss Elizabeth Major very much, but I shall love Elizabeth Salter every bit as much,” he said in his speech later. His new son-in-law, who’s a medical student, said in his own speech that he couldn’t tell guests how Elizabeth responded when he finally popped the question because, when she saw the ring box, “she had the diamond on her finger so fast that I never had a chance to ask her!” Prominent at the wedding were the Majors’ son, James, with his wife Emma Noble, who is expecting their first child. “It was just as emotional as our wedding,” said James. “My sister looked beautiful, and they go so well togehter - definitely a match made in heaven.” But it was best man Darren Gale who capped the speech-making with his toast: “To Elizabeth and Luke: may they be modern enough to survive the times, and old-fashioned enough to last forever.” Main Menu		Norma Major, who wore an ultra-elegant apricot suit by Tom Bowker, and her husband have not only seen both their children marry within a year, but are also set to become grandparents for the first time when Emma (on the far right) gives birth in the summer Parents-to-be James Major and Emma Noble, who wed in 1999 at the Palace of Westminster.
