#40: The Royal Power Couple
Buying people wedding presents that they will actually like and use is a hard task. Unless there is a wedding registry, it can be very difficult knowing what to get, and some people just go on a limb and get whatever they think is fitting.
Boris Johnson, who was the London Mayor at the time, got the newlywed couple a tandem bike as their wedding present. We aren’t sure why the London Mayor decided to get them that gift, but we’re sure it has something to do with riding through life together in tandem.
