'Should it be compulsory for all marriage ceremonies to be held in English?' 

Have any of you seen the youtube video of the Swiss couple renewing their vows in the Maldives. The person conducting the 'ceremony' hurled insults at them, and accused them of being infidels... and during it all the couple were oblivious to the humiliation. Which made us think about Asian weddings - many of them are conducted in sanskrit or very old punjabi - something many of us don't speak any more. Would it help everyone if all marriage ceremonies were conducted in English? Isn't it just practical? 

After 2, Strictly Come Dancing's star couple Jimmy Mistry and Flavia Cacace join Nihal in studio. So, if you're a fan, you may want to keep an ear for this one. And later in the hour, three enterpreneur join Nihal as Guess the Story panel as part of AN's Making Money Week.
