Lovely, and what a wonderful day for a Wedding yesterday, great to hear all the reports :)) Well done for yours Mags, written in true 'Village' style! :)) Chris :)

Thank you very much to chris and deanna ~ have asked daisy to pass on yr addresses to us xx

LOL Mags - you trying to give me nightmares ??? M-I-L indeed !! Your rendition of the day is spot on, but I thought I'd fill in a few details...... Woke up with that familiar fuzzy feeling that says you spent the previous night in the company of Andy Oop Norf (ably assisted by brother John). Jan started the day as she meant to go on in married life by prodding me and nagging me to get out of bed (yeah we spent the previous night together, but she didn't fancy the tent on the lawn option due to the nearby frog pond - frogs being really scary and all that). Took Jan to the hotel to do all that mysterious stuff that girls do and returned to find Andy and John much more interested in toast than any of this wedding stuff. Learned that cufflinks are completely impossible to fathom and began the process of getting hotter and hotter that culminated in having the wedding breakfast in a greenhouse on the hottest day of the year. I thought the food was supposed to be cooked and not the guests lol. Meanwhile the ceremony had been a complete success. Managed not to fluff my lines and was pretty sure nobody noticed me going all teary eyed during Paul (Chunks)'s poignant reading. Actually everbody did notice and were quick to tell me after :-(( Jan looked stunning and we walked in together, led by Holly, who was adorable and made us laugh with her frugal petal distribution and backed up by best man Ian and maid of honour Sharon (aka Mrs Chunks). The music was wonderful - thank you to the Moon Loungers for a quality performance, nobody noticed Jan not being able to get the ring on my finger (OK OK lol) and Henry was clearly born to play Pooh !! The hours seemed to flash by. Food and venue were top class, company was perfect and I finally got the girl (winks at Mrs Marshall) :-))))) It was good to see so many friends and family and of course there was a strong GR contingent present and incorrect lol. The bones of Darren the DJ are being chewed by dogs in the hotel grounds after being picked clean by the predatory Bec as we speak ;-) Mazzie showed up in a posh frock and predictably enough got Darren to play Remember You're a Womble in my honour. Thanks so much Maz. The tequilas were of course a mistake, but at least my mate Dave will have a worse hangover than even Bec did and we weren't last men (& women) standing. That dubious honour of course goes to Andy & John !! Woke up with that familiar fuzzy feeling that says you spent the previous night in the company of Andy Oop Norf LMAO. A fried breakfast cures most things. What a day ! Can we do it again please ? Rick.xx
