Re August solution, did Jordan say yes?
Is this a same-sex marriage? (I am all in favour of course) or is Jordan a female name in the USA!

Cheers yet again syzygy. Some amusing "groaners" among the extras. Had to Google 47a for confirmation.

@Lumen

I have no idea about the result of the proposal.
Jordan could be a female name but considering the publicity aspect here, probably not.

47A held me up because I ended 5D with an R.
Then the power company clicked.

Still not sure how some of the unclued match up.

Some extras are very tangential. Swiss cheese has holes and hence ....

12d. Starting a puzzle a little earlier took me a few seconds. Clever.

Sunray, I am stuck on 12 down, give me a hint? I have N?s?le
Full clue is - Start rooting for starting a puzzle a little earlier.
Also stuck on 15a otherwise done - and fun.

Lumen, 15 A is just another word for a centrefold - the answer seems a dated concept now! There's a three-letter word for 'dog' with an two letter word relating to 'inside inside'. You've got one letter wrong in 12 D - probably because you've used a more British version for 16 A! If you change that, you'll probably see the answer instantly!
