2/9/12 PART 1

Woke up and made waffles in a waffle maker. They didn't taste that nice. Then we got ready and went to Rigwood house. On our way there there was someone doing a three point turn in the middle of the road holding up traffic.

"What a dickhead!" Cleo said. Turn's out it was Rob the best man. He stopped beside us

"Nice day isnt it? Well were just going to get some stuff from the shop. We forgot. The blessing starts in 5 minuets. Oh well see you there!"

Lots of traffic was held up behind us both. There were a lot of car horns and shouting but Rob didnt care.

Which is very posh and only lets wedding venues into it if its themed like the last one they hosted was "the mad hatter wedding" but you wont find out about Brad and Sally's  theme yet. This is were the blessing and the party is held as the registry was yesterday (see last blog) Sally came down the staircase in her dress and met Brad half way to get photo's and the blessing. The blessing was short. Then the renewal of the vows which is a bit naff seeing's how they got married yesterday the vows shouldn't be that old! Then the head bridesmaid Lucy (Sally's sister in blue on left) read a poem which she couldn't finish because she was crying so much. Rob (the best man on right in suit) had to help.

We chilled and played footie down the bottom of the field me and Sarah were the only girls. Sarah puts all the tomboys I know to shame. She is like the ultimate tomboy not scared of anything! The theme was the seaside because we are close to it and most of Brad & Sally's memories are there. So for the twist we got paper seagulls (so when people threw them it was like stealing your chips) and for food I've give it away we had fish and chips. Vegetable curry for vegans. I forgot to mention I sat at the head table!

 Then for after's we had ice cream in a cone. Sally tried really hard to make the theme seaside ish.  When you got your fish and chips a piece of neatly cut newspaper was below it. Sally really tried hard. Then we got the speeches. Sally's dad was first and it was really short. So was Brad's who was next but then it was Rob's. Someone shouted:

"Oh my god. How long's Rob's going to be?" Then people started talking. DING DING DING (bell ringing)

"Its your time your wasting!" Rob said trying to sound as much as a teacher as possible. More laughing.

"Can I start? Well, I have a thirty minuet speech then if you want we can have a fifteen minuet infinitival and then the slideshow."

"We'll skip the bloody intival so get on with it I need a wee!" Someone shouted. His speech was the best best man speech I've heard and I've been to lots of weddings. It was so funny everyone laughed at least once and I laughed even more than that. Sally stood up and said favours and handed out presents for all the work the head bride and the best man did. She also said to fill our boots for the sweet stall they've set up outside the room for favours. We got some and walked to our hotel (which is just down the road) Rushpool Hall and got changed.
