For the record, this wedding (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/8240462/David-Tennant-to-marry-daughter-of-previous-Doctor-Who.html) will set the high water mark for how Doctor-Who-ish a wedding can, or could, ever be.

Hah, wow, that's awesome. I'm vaguely amused her last name is similar to current Dr. Who producer/writer Steven Moffat.

Everybody else in the world probably knows this but me, but this bit of trivia from the show's IMDB profile entertained me:

"Richard Dawkins, who cameos as himself in Season 4's penultimate episode, is married to Lalla Ward, who had played one of the Doctor's previous companions, Romana, during Tom Baker's tenure."

Gene and Leslie got their St. Lucia hats (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Lucy%27s_Day) on too.

Hah, neat. I hadn't realized.

Yeah those light things do kinda look like hats don't they :P (I believe they're mounted on the wall :P)
