Gherkin wedding

[PumpernickleInaWarehouse]

Has anyone got married or know anyone who has had their wedding ceremony/reception on the 39th floor ay the gherkin building in London?

It's amazing inside x I went on a course for underwriting with Swis re who own the building x we had mitchelin star style elevensies!

Well you could do the whole gypsie wedding thing op and have bridesmaids dressed as vegs and yourself in a huge meringue dress with gherkins hanging off you

Oh have it low key in the local pub and spend your cash better

You could make everyone wear a jerkin?!

wheresmytaco, ok - I get it now...I'll take it!

Hold on. I'm confused.

Just googled "The Gherkin" as I was wondering why anyone would want a wedding reception in the office building by the side of the motorway.

Realised I've been calling the wrong building "The Gherkin" for my entire life.

Huh.

What did you think was the gherkin Lady?

I don't know! I live in Dorset so have only really been into London for school trips and such, we used to drive past a building on the very edge of London which is an unusual shape. On the M4 (or 3) and we all used to shout "The Gherkin! We're almost there!"

I really want to do some detective work now and figure out which building @LadyFlumpalot thought was the Gherkin...

Ladyflump - were you thinking of the Ark, Hammersmith?

Worst case you go view it but find out its over budget (don't forget vat) and have a free drink whilst nosing round...

I've no idea which building it was. The ark looks likely but I don't think it was that far into London. It was right on the suburbs and as far as memory serves the motorway was raised up as you went past. I know memory can be a tricky thing though.

Are there any other affectionate nicknames for office blocks on the outskirts of London?

Actually, it might well have been the Ark.
