There's no love for Liz Hurley (put it away dear, we're tired of looking) and her meal ticket Arun Nayar in the Mumbai press after the darling duo were said to snub Arun's family in favour of Liz's much more photogenic bunch. Now comes the news that they've stiffed the vicarage as well. The two were accused of "grubby penny pinching" for failing to donate to the church in which they were married.
While the couple jetted around to several high profile celebrations, with guests like Elton John and Donatella Versace, the wedding was formally blessed in the small chapel of St Mary's, at Sudeley, by the Rev John Partington, who did not charge the usual £1,000 to meet costs for such a ceremony, since the parish was under the impression a larger donation would be made after the showbiz wedding.
Sue Williams,the parish treasurer seemed distraught since "We do normally charge a fee before a wedding. There are a number of costs we have to cover," she said. "For the choir, organist and vicar to attend, the bill normally would be in the region of £1,000. I suppose we were hoping for a bit more than that, but we haven't received a penny from them... Even the not well off make a financial donation, which is normally a few hundred pounds."
Instead of a financial donation, it was reported that the couple are planning to donate to the chapel 12 kneelers, which Mrs Williams said would not be helpful.
"Given the choice, we would prefer the money without a doubt," she said. "I'm sure they haven't discussed this idea of buying kneelers with anyone in the church. We need money to pay the gas bill, for new hymn books and a new boiler. Kneelers aren't very high on our list of priorities."
Guess Liz won't be needing those kneelers any longer, now that she's legally snagged the bucked up Arun."Maybe we were naive and should have stuck with our normal charges," Mrs Williams added ruefully. "We'll know next time she gets married."
Awww. Ain't love grand?

Where have you been all my (single, very single) life?????
The reason Liz wears those slit-up-to-there dresses is to prove that she's not wearing knee pads at all times. How amazingly appropo that they're donating kneelers to the vicarage.
As for being single? I don't know, if I dared scream it out loud I'd say it's not as bad as other people would like us to think it is.
Sounds like Elana Glatt from that other post and gawker girl just don't want to face that fact - hence the hysteria about something else before they have to go home and find large windbags on their couches.
Could I be? Am I too - ?
Just call me Bitter in LA
