She continues: “I am watching an empress, I am watching a woman say, look at me and see the height of my veil. Taste the champagne which I chose because it’s my favourite, and notice the length, sheen and colour of the f***ing chair ribbons!”

Reiterating just how much control a bride typically has over the celebration, from the decor to the guest list and food, Frances-White ends by saying: “I have collated every detail of this room, these people, this day, because if all other days are days of deference to men, and people-pleasing and the demands of children and boorish work colleagues who talk over me, this day and this space and this dress, are wholly mine.

“And no, Max, you can’t ruin it with a purple Ferrari between wedding venues, because this isn’t your day. You’ve had ten thousand years of history. You’ve had 3,650,000 days. This one is mine. I am a woman, and you will watch me take control so comprehensively and so unreasonably. You’ll want to name a monster movie after me, not the other way around.”
