Oh, darn it.  Good point.  My family's Protestant, and we don't do 
it.  And the Catholic/Orthodox observation seems pretty accurate.  I 
just can't see that being done at "Four Weddings and a Funeral", 
etc.  That won't work, then.  

The Grangers seem very dignified from the few glimpses we've had of 
them in canon.  Very "old money" in their traditions.  And the custom 
doesn't seem very British to me.  It would have been perfect, 
though... oh, heck, I may just invent some excuse and throw it in 
anyway.

Thanks everyone for bearing with me!
