Summary

Alistair and Doris Lethbridge-Stewart are looking through their wedding photographs one evening when the Seventh Doctor suddenly appears in some of them.

When the pair begin to vaguely recall having seen the Doctor at the wedding, they wonder if the Time Lord has somehow altered time so he could attend after all.
