Yeah, I agree it wasn't his best but it was a nice subtle and effective introduction into a new chapter.
I didn't mind the kissogram thing, even though the odds of that actually being that characters occupation is kind of unlikely (maybe if she wasn't living in a small village and most the residents that she could work for seem to know her).
The whole wedding thing takes me back to the Donna days, and I think they just wanted to create this hugh sacrifice that she makes for the Doctor but it was really "rolls eyes*.
End of the day though, roll on the next ep! :D
