the wedding :

so were to begin?

thurday..

thurday i was off work, i spent £50 in boots on make up and 'going away' things dashed home, packed, took bon the vets then we went to Ross-on-Wye to book into the hotel, The Chase .. which was very nice :) met up with my brothers and then with the aunts and unc's :) met Jane's (my sister-in-law)family, and my brothers chums, had a drink or two then went to bed

friday..

up and had full english by 8.00am mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm hash browns ...
moved ourselves to clearwell castle to get dressed and ready ourselves for the day...
after an hour or so of readying myself i made my way to the bride's special room :) just in time to meet the photographer and see Jane put on her stunning wedding dress.

the wedding dress: simply beautiful, simple off the shoulder design, sparkly .. i havent the ability to describe things so i'll link to a photo asap :) .. needly to say she looked amazing and very beautiful :)

then we watched from the window as people started to arrive, sneakily waving at a lucky 50 odd of em :) heh heh then we made our careful way (so as not to tread on dresses with heals or fall down stairs) to the chapel-type-place.

then we did the Wedding bit, walking down the isle was a little overwhelming since every person in the church turned on us with a camera or vid like paperazzi, it was bizarre!! every single one of the guests took a pic! but Jane was THAT lovely in her dress im not surprised!!

the ceremony itself was reallly nice, no fuss or sermons, just straight to the point and very meanngful.. then we made or way back down paperazzi alley and braved outdoors for pictures :)

We did speechs before the meal in a drawing room, none of them where more than an hour long ;) seriously they were all nice and non-boring :) then we made our way to the dining area and tooked into the most usual wedding meal ... starters: shish kabab, main: morrocan Lamb, with couscous and peppers (MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM) and then they yummiest strawberry and cream type dessert *drool* i nearly asked for seconds....

..theeeeen... the dancing started, the castle has a 'disco' in the basement and they went for a Tom jones/ neil diamond guy for entertainment which was fun :) then the obligatory 70/80's disco ;)

..the rest starts to get vague... champagne induced vagueness.. lol .. there WAS dancing, i remember the best man saying im a crap dancer (niiiiice) but then i was dancing in heals to 70's music, without my pals for confidence (see i cant cope without you guys)


anyway .... i limped/stumbled to bed around 2 ish and had to pile the pillows on the floor in order to climb onto the bed, great fun :)

SATURDAY:


after a fairly early start (considering the day before 9am is early) and a yummmy fulll english, we went to Ross-on-wye for a spot of shopping (i got my Fab new bag) and then had a cuppa in our neil and janes with her parents before heading to my brothers local for a buffet and good byes.. it was a great way to end the wedding, since neil had secretly arranged for a posh car to came em o the airport :)

we left there around 4ish and trekked back to liverpool, then the hectic dash began.. i picked up a happy looking bon from the kennels (who i still need to go thank for no charging me for her stay .. not a penny) then grabbed my kitten coustume, and bolted for liverpool without knowing my plans for the night!

most of the car journey involved attempting to phone kayte, since we were supposed to be meeting and going to Mark's fancy dress thing, but alas her phone was in her coat pockets and her coat was in sarahs!!! in the end sarah got throught to me and after knocking at kaytes and getting no answer i drove round to sarahs.. sarah, helen, sef, al and ali they watch as i manically bounced around the flat and shook .. and then kayte came feeling too tired and worn out from the night before / work to go anywhere but the bath and bed, and by then id had a drink so i didnt end up going to Mark's party (which apparently great fun looking at mikes pics the next day)

so. after morphing into 'cat' and asking Izzyu nicely if i could lone a mouse, set of for town .. i seriously have no memory of getting there! hmmm no, none. but we did, and i remember going into the K to the shouts of "neeeeeearaly full" from the bouncers.. the rest of the night went as expected .. dancing like a loon, doing disguisting things with izzy's toy, which make me feel ill thinking about and have probably caused my chesty cough this week, and generally having a great night.

Sunday i woke to the sound of helen puking :) we sat in bed watching hollyoaks (the only real hangover cure) and then i went to mike and marks and had a cuppa with mike since everyone else had gone to practice.... then from there i went to the practice studios, and listened to tmark, carl and Paul make noise (very good noise) while i had a kip ... then went home an hour late.. since i didnt know my pone put the time back an hour itself i was taking another hour off as well!!

then i went to bed, got up, suffered work, had coffee with the biscuit ladies, went home went to bed, got up suffered work, went to bed, got up, suffered work, went to bed... got up, came to work and that brings me up to date :)
