2012, David Nicholls, En dag, Forlaget Press, →ISBN, →ISBN:På bryllupsbildene kunne man se at bruden og brudgommen løftet halvlitere mot kamera, en sigg dinglet fra brudens røde munn, og så fikk de beskjedne bryllupsgaver: en kjempegod samlekassett, en fotomontasje i klipsramme, en eske med stearinlys.- In the wedding photos one could see that the bride and groom raised half-litres towards the camera, a ciggy dangled from the bride's red lips, and so they got the modest wedding presents, an excellent binder, a photomontage in a clip frame, a box of candles.
