Altogether Now

With three weddings to attend in the next two months, it seems to me that from year to year, like birthdays, they come in clusters. In a few years will come the christenings all clumped together - perhaps it's some weird law of nature whereby some kind of pattern emerges if you look at it, um, in a kind of cod-scientific way.

Well, for the less space-minded I suppose the answer for most of these things is logical in that weddings come together because people usually want to get married in the spring/summer months; birthdays are just random so you're bound to know a few people with birthdays close to each other unless you're a hermit; and people of your age who are married will probably sprog babies at roughly the same time, hence christenings will not be too far apart either.

The time to be worried is if you start having to attend multiple funerals...
