fab wedding

the wedding was great - the gods smiled on the couple and the sun came out about half an hour before the service and the rain just dissapeared... how lucky! Will write more when I have energy but for now a quick summary..

Wake up feeling very rough - throat sore and voice teetering on going....
drive through rain but sun comes out eventually
Arrive, get dressed and find chapel
rob looking nervous but happy
bride looked gorgeous. dress was lovely, little sparkly things in hair
vicar's speech brilliant, what an earnest and nice bloke
Witnessed the wedding, (usually I'm a bridesmaid but at least as a witness you get to choose your outfit)
Guides do a guard of honour
walked to reception in sun
photos on steps with Pimms
hall perfect size and atmosphere, decorations just right (the guides did them proud)
lots more Pimms (helps if you know the waiter) - except we are only couple in the room that the waiter checks are not driving before he serves us...!
Bride and Groom arrive to squealing balloons
Cake is brilliant, tastes fab and the little statues were perfect (off Ebay apparently!)
Food lovely, sausages great, gravy seriously alcoholic mmmm
Red wine flowed (again - helped by waiter...)
Music arrives, band dance band very good. lead singer would rather be in Nirvana but clearly knows his stuff
By this time my voice completely gone, Paul very happy...
Evening closes and we head back to pub to sleep
Unfortunately lots of other people head to pub for a different reason and whilst Paul managed to slide into a drunken stupor I lay awake listening to the party until about 3am - hey ho
Drove back passing the Marmite factory to Miss Law's great delight

so that's it. Hopefully Mr and Mrs Court had as much fun as we did - they certainly looked as though they were having fun. This matchmaking stuff is a piece of cake...Right then, who can be my next victims...?
