The Wedding
Once back from G2 I had the house all to myself until Friday because unbelievably my parents BOTH went to Cornwall for a week. It was fabulous, no football, no rugby, no craft channel, no lousy Australian Soaps just pure unadulterated Sci-fi, fantasy and cheesy 80's TV series.
Saturday the 12th was the wedding of one of my very best and my oldest friends to a great guy whom she met at Uni I think and they currently live in Southampton. Originally I was going to be a bridesmaid but ended up doing a reading, one of Shakespeares Sonnets which I had no idea how to read properly so I just winged it. We turned up at the church and I knew that somehow Caz would end up getting to the church via something to do with horses be it riding side-saddle or by carriage. When I asked Dan (the groom) he didn't know it was a surprise from Caz's parents and turned out to be a matched pair of dapple greys in an open carriage. Of course within seconds of seeing them all us horsy people had asked the names which were Bally and Sky and were half brothers from Ireland. We all got into the church and business went as usual with weddings and it has to be said everyone looked Stunning! I was so nervous when I got up to do the reading I was actually shaking but when I got to the podium I had to stop myself from laughing because I could only just see over the top of it and had to bend the little microphone right down, I think I should have asked for a box to stand on LOL! It was very strange reading the sonnet I just kinda went onto automatic telephone voice but everytime I looked over at Caz she had this HUGE grin on her face so I knew I must have been doing it right. Got through the rest of the ceremony and went back home to wait for the reception.
Got to Holdsworth house (nice place) lots of piccies being taken by the official people I just kina hung around like a loose end 'cos I didn't really know anyone. During the meal I was sat on the first table in front of the top one, facing them and me and Caz kept pulling faces at each other it was great. Got to know a few of the people who I'd heard about but never met. The speach by the father of the Bride was hilarious, especially the recounting of the early 'horsey' years of which I was witness to, the best men were great too, a comedy double act between them.
The party was much as any other but with a live band and lots of people dancing from the onset of the music. I ended up sitting and catching up with Louise and Liz whom I knew from the stables so we just talked mostly about horses all evening, a great send-off to the best couple. I hope to include a couple of photo's here soon.
