Society Weddings: Love, or Feudalism in Action?

Are society weddings based on true romance or often just marriages of convenience?

As the son of a former Soviet country marries the daughter of another, both families have denied that it's a political marriage. Are society weddings a hang-up from dynastic marriages of the past, or true love?

Also on the programme: This week's topical diary comes from a female Anglican bishop. Plus, a look at a new project in a remote agricultural part of Ghana that's helping women to earn their own cash.
