Yep. Had the same impression. This day belongs to the groom and his best man/friend. 

Never has the title "Best Man" be more appropriate.

This is a good argument, too. Could also go into the sexuality thread but it just leave it here.

Just saying.............................................

Angelo seems to know Sherlock only "professionally". I assume he is not his friend because he had no friends before John. And then Sherlock books a table at the restaurant und Angelo instantly assumes that the man he is with must be his date. So he either got the impression that Sherlock is gay just from being around him before or Sherlock has been there before with a man. 

I really wonder this argument did not come up earlier. I do not think that anyone ever thought my husband to be gay just because he had dinner with a male friend. 

As for Mrs Hudson - I think this is a bit different. I think her assuming they are a couple has much to do with their age. If they were students in their early twenties wishing to share a flat the impression would be totally different. But two mature men moving together - even in an expensive city like London - may raise suspicions. 

On the other hand the fact that after three or four years she still regards them as a couple is quite telling.

But we can all presume that your husband's life isn't being written by writers who are coming up with a script about his life, eh?  *smile* Like Jessica Rabbit, who wasn't bad, she was just written that way, Sherlock and John aren't secretly in love, they're just written that way (mostly).  And your husband's life wasn't written at all, hence no one looked at him and his male friend and "went there". Ah, the diff between RL and fiction once more raises its head.

So what exactly are you saying here? Because I think I don't quite get it.
Of course the life of Susi's husband wasn't written by anyone in any way. And of course all the characters in the show were written a certain way. This is a forum about fictional characters, all we are doing here is talking about fictional characters and fictional actions, all the time. And of course you can make comparisons to real life in order to find out whether or not certain things in the show make sense or not. I think we do this all the time, because our own experiences from our own lifes influence the way in which we perceive and interpret art, not just "Sherlock". And of course there are differences between real life and fiction, but often there also are similarities.
 

Oh, my pleasure!

We definitely need more laptop action again in S4... there just wasn't enough of that in S3...
