Well that was some weekend!
Can’t believe a week has gone by already.
Were you there?
No!
Why not?
O.k., living on a different continent is not a valid reason I’m afraid.
No it’s not!
Kate’s daughter and family were here from Texas.
Yeah. That’s made your ‘sorry I was on a field trip in Antarctica,‘ excuse look a bit feeble, hasn’t it?
Never mind though, I’m in a good mood so I’ll tell you all about it. Get yourselves comfy. Settle down at the back there. Here we go.
We had a bit of a family get together on the Friday night, whilst we were setting up the tables and stuff in the big tent (sorry, Kate. I keep forgetting to say marquee)
It was great to catch up.
Then on Saturday morning the condemned man ate a hearty breakfast in the local Premier Inn (yes, I had been banished from home – not allowed to see the bride apparently!) with my uncle, cuz, Mrs cuz and 4 year old mini cuz Fraser.
Back up to room to get changed.
Forgot the hair brush, so off up to Mrs cuz to borrow hers for a quick flick through my thinning pate.
Yes you’re right, it was a good job they stayed there too!
Little bro in his best man suit picked me up in the merc he’d nicked for the day and presented me with my very own pair of £2 sunglasses. Nothing like a mob wedding, huh! Shame the bow unraveled on the front of the car, but hey, you can’t have everything. It was a nice knot! That’s my big little brother in front of the car trying to hide the entanglement!
Then we dashed over to Himley Hall.
What?
Yes you’re right, that was the place where Edward and Mrs Simpson used to go for a spot of ‘rumpy pumpy,‘ as you so eloquently put it.
Kate turned up a bit later. Here she is with her son, also a Steve.
Yes, she did look stunning. I’ll tell her that you complimented her.
I said yes.
She said, ‘if I must.‘
The registrar looked pleased as we signed on the dotted line.
They played ‘Don’t Stop Believing‘,’ by Journey and we all walked out for some piccies in the grounds.
Back in Kate’s posh motor to the big tent.
Bit of nosh.
Lot of wine.
Little bro did a speech and nearly cracked at the end. Love you too, Steve.
I did a speech as well. I won’t bore you with it here.
Had a bit of a break.
Took Fraser to see Billy Whizz (see my blog ‘From Billy Joel to Billy Whizz,‘ if that reference has passed you by – you’ll like it, he’s cute!)
Back to the tent in the evening.
Bart put on a disco – thanks mate.
Me and Kate had a quick wobble round.
No, she wouldn’t let me hold her bottom!
Gunnrunner turned up and put on an excellent live slot. Scared most of the non rockers off.
I even got on stage with them. Yeah, that’s me in the white.
What do you mean, you heard the guitar wasn’t plugged in! I keep telling everyone it was wireless!
Packed up after midnight and we all went home.
Pardon?
Did we what!?
How rude! Anyway I’m afraid is for me and Kate to know! 😜
Yes. It was a bloody good wedding!
