Wedding connections
As of the 23rd May 2022 this website is archived and will receive no further updates.
understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
When my son decided to get married we discovered loads of connections with his bride's family.
1. The first was that she was from the small highland village Tarbert my grandparents had lived in.
2. The bride's childminder had been in my class at school in Dumfries.
3. Both sets of parents were married on same day 6th July 1979 at opposite ends of Scotland.
4. There were 2 guests at the wedding from either side called Carol Kelly.
5.Two aunties of the bride and groom were solicitors for the same firm, one based in Edinburgh, one based in Glasgow.
6. The week of the wedding, the bride's mother was searching in a drawer and found an unopened box of white linen sheets given as a wedding present by the bridegroom's great grandmother to the bride's grandparents over 50 years before.
There are more!!
