This puzzle was just one part of what many of us believe to be a unique event. Although the setter in the Times is anonymous I can reveal that it was set by John Henderson and published on the day of his wedding to Jane Teather. John also had wedding-themed puzzles published in the Telegraph (as Elgar), The Guardian (as Enigmatist), The Independent (as Nimrod) and the FT (as Io) on the same day.
Drop me a line at xwordsolver @ bigdave44.com if you would like copies of these puzzles - the FT one was my personal favourite.
