yes it was the same for my misses,
i suppose when you've got 100+ people attending, there is not enough time to make it more personal. thou if you wanted that you could have paid extra and had your own private ceremony.
as for people speaking english, they all should have past the 'life in uk test' - more of a test of reading, than speaking. and everyone of them has been in the uk at least 3yrs. maybe the gov should do something more like the IELTS exam, tests your reading, writing,listening and speaking capabilites.
i expected a bit more, but the mayoress was there, and she didn't charge people to have her picture taken with them
