In the morning James Marchant and Elizabeth Mepham were married, and I was what is commonly called Father, and also together with Thomas Davy signed the register book. My servant dined with her brother and sister, the new married couple, and [I and my late servant dined on the remains of yesterday’s dinner.
In the evening went down to Jones’s, where we had a public vestry. Stayed there till about 10:10. Then I went to the wedding house and sat and smoked several pipes in company with Mr Robert Hook, Thomas Durrant, Thomas Davy, Joseph Fuller Jr, Fanny Hicks, my servant and the new married couple; came home about 2:20. My late servant stood the shop for me during my absence. Sam Jenner, coming in the evening, stayed with my servant for company and also took part of my bed. Pretty busy in the day, but oh, the torment of my mind–I hardly know what to do!
