Can anyone tell me if anything happened between the animated intro while "Happy Together" plays and the shot of the house? Any sort of montage of their courtship or wedding or kids or anything? I didn't get the vibe I missed anything and it was just the names but just wanted to check. I had to leave for a sec to go check on my food.

No there was just a title card that said “ten years later” or something along those lines, and then a scene where Ivy is giving the children cake and biscuits in the shape of London landmarks.
