Life is a Highway - it’s the journey, not the destination

February 7, 2007

Just spent a lovely hour

Filed under: General

watching a music channel with songs from 1996 on - oh the memories, I was free then ;)

So I guess I should do some sort of post wedding update then so in the time honoured tradition, the good and bad bits:

Bad bits first as there’s not that many of them
Our ipod crashing when we’d planned to have some background music playing. Also we missed having some good dancy songs which we really wanted, and our proper first dance song.

The barman not turning up when I expected him to - made me feel slightly uneasy and worried, but all worked out ok.

Coming home the day after to the news my mum had collapsed in the night and wasn’t breathing, think it was similar to what I had, but bloody scary!

Feeling sick and faint to the point of not being able to walk on the morning of our flight to Tobago and having to cancel it. Still bloody gutted!

Good bits
the gorgeous weather

feeling calm and not at all nervous

looking good (or so everyone tells me!!!)

hearing that james was nervous!

all of the ceremony

the ceilidh band (except for daft caller)

watching all the kids all day

Ros and Nic dancing!

the buffet

the lovely messages in the guestbook

my lovely friends insisting me and James head off early while they tidied up

and mostly just everyone who managed to come and share the day. I can’t say how much this bit really means to me, that I have some bloody good friends who made my day just fantastic! Thank you all of you who came - love you all.

I’ve probably missed loads too!

So now we’re waiting to try and get a last minute holiday to Tenerife to try and manage some sun, sea and sex ;) Got most of it booked, just running out of money so have to wait till James is paid tomorrow to book some other stuff! Not quite Tobago but it should be ok. will be able to see the kids a bit which I secretly am looking forward to! And fingers crossed the insuarnce will pay out and we’ll get to tobago eventually.

  1. The caller was lovely! She was also a last minute stand in as the proper one was taken ill suddenly. Now if I’d bothered to look on the ipod I would have found the right section for some decent music. LOL!

    You did look lovely. James looked nervous :-)

    Did I dance?

  4. “Shitting kittens” were James’s exact words before the ceremony ;-)

    Was so sorry to hear you’d been ill, but hope you have a good time in Tenerife :)
