Updated Wikipedia

Hey: some fascinating trivia I just updated my first wikipedia page ever on Kenneth Tynan to include the following information about his second wedding ....

"
After Tynan's divorce he persuaded Kathleen Halton, daughter of famed wartime CBC correspondent Matthew Halton and sister of contemporary CBC journalist David Halton, to leave her husband and live with him.[1] By 1967 he married Halton, with Marlene Dietrich and a tramp as their witnesses. During the ceremony, Dietrich backed towards some doors to close them, and the judge, in the middle of his oration, said: "And do you, Kenneth, take Kathleen for your lawful wedded I would not stand with your arse to an open door in this office lady wife to have and to hold?"

Hey they do call me Wilkipedia :-)
