It looks like the farmer needs a life

By

Everybody loves a wedding, and everyone loves looking at the wedding photos. So let the Diary be the first to show you the wedding pictures from National Magazine Company managing director Terry Mansfield’s marriage last week.

Mansfield’s wedding will come as a surprise to many, not least Mrs Mansfield, to whom he has been happily married for several years. The choice of carriage – a gleaming Massey Ferguson – is also an eyebrow raiser.

It was of course a PR stunt to promote ITV1’s programme Farmer Wants a Wife, made in conjunction with Country Living Magazine.

Zenith Media, MediaCom and MindShare were all treated to a visit from the bride and groom. One media source says: “I can’t believe Mansfield gets paid vast amounts of money to mess around all day. That’s our job.”
