In September 1987, Johnson and Mostyn-Owen were married in West Felton, Shropshire, accompanied by a duet for violin and viola Allegra e Boris[73] specially commissioned for the wedding from Hans Werner Henze.[74] After a honeymoon in Egypt, they settled in West Kensington, West London,[75] when Johnson secured work for a management consultancy company, L.E.K. Consulting, but resigned after a week.[76] Through family connections, in late 1987 he began work as a graduate trainee at The Times.[77] Scandal erupted when Johnson wrote an article on the archaeological discovery of King Edward II's palace for the newspaper, having invented a quote for the article which he falsely attributed to the historian Colin Lucas, his godfather. After the editor Charles Wilson learned of the matter, Johnson was dismissed.[78]
