The Wedding of Lisa and Martin. Lisa 21, is the eldest of five sisters and lives in a small council housing estate, Mount Avenue, on the edge of the City. Martin has a steady job and pays rent for a small flat in one of the two council housing tower blocks that stand across the river from the City. Lisa's father has spent the last six months working on the gas pipes in Ireland to save enough money to pay for the wedding (still the father's responsibility according to English custom). It is the event of the year for everyone on the housing estate where Lisa has grown up.
