It's a nice day for a white wedding!

I didn't sleep the night before the wedding, awake at 2.30am and having tried every method I could to get back to sleep I admitted defeat and decided to watch 'Embarrassing Bodies' (previously recorded), so by the time 5am arrived and with my Sky Planner nearly empty I thought I should try again...

With a few hours sleep I stumbled out of the house with Grace, telling her on the way how today would pan out, referring to the Lego wedding I'd conducted earlier in the week, Grace was now the yellow brick for real, me?......Just bricking it.

Time soon passed and upon entering 'The Tempest' - I found myself getting hotter and hotter, maybe the open log fire? but undoubtedly suffering the effect known as 'pressure', and as I wiped my forehead for the umpteenth time I realised I'd wiped my 'face' off... arrrgggghhh - there was no time to reapply 'face' - arrrrgggghhh - it was happening! The ceremony was lovely, both my children being the only ones to have tantrums (grrr! - Thank goodness for Rescue Remedy!) then Grace getting upset because the best man removed the rings from the cushion! repeating aloud during the vows how she wants the rings back - The ceremony continued... (3 year old attached to my leg, head under the back of my top).

Gorgeous food, and lots of snapping later, my camera took itself off to bed, the night ending with myself forcing the DJ to play nearly all my favourite songs; The Proclaimers (500 miles), Dire Straits (Walk of Life), Bonjovi (Livin' on a Prayer), Bryan Adams (Summer of '69) and The Conga... I LED THE CONGA!!!! Well, the first half of it...




Number of times Mum fell whilst Conga-ing = 1

Attempts made by a tipsy Bride & Groom to sing 'The blue ridge mountains of Virginia' = 11

Bribes offered to Grace to behave = 1 (She was a good Bridesmaid)
