h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yes I am,
Well its the day after and what a day it was,,,,
At the church everything was running smoothly when I arrived, till I gave the cd to the pianist,, Cus it was a copy of 4 different pieces it wouldnt play on their cd player, so the vicar had to fetch her cd player from home,,, The music used was as follows;;
For the entrance of the ring bearers, bridesmaids and bride,,, Braveheart
For the signing of the register....Conserning Hobbits (from LOTR) plus Titanic
For the exit out,,,,The end bit from Shrek
That made ppl smile I can tell you,

As my daughter walked down the aisle with her friend as escort I DID shed a tear,,,she looks so happy and radient and beautiful (everyone said that not just me,lol)

The reception

This was wonderful, 64 guests sat down to this session, We had a toast master(another friend) who did an excellent job, The food was lovely (but I couldnt eat it all) A buffet style meal with the top table being served by the caterers and each of the other tables taking it in turns to get their food.
A friend made the cake ... which was lovely, 3 teirs botton 2 were chocolate top teir was plain, all covered in white/ivory icing, around each base a blue ribbon and a string of pearls attached to the ribbon, Each corner had a flower the same as used throughout the theme and a small bunch on the top teir.

The bridegroom and best man were in black siuts/tails with white shirts and silver/grey waistcoats and grey top hats, cravats were blue,, they looked real good,lol

There were lots of photos taken (another friend was in charge of those)
The evening part was also good, A disco with a good range of music,,, The bride and groom did their first dance to a song from AEROSMITH,,(I dont wanna close my eyes,,,,,,,,) Its their song..

The evening came to a close at 11-30 when the limo came to collect the happy couple, She threw her bouquet and,,, wait for it,,, I caught it,lol,, but gave it back for her to throw again,,,,

I eventually arrived home at 12-20am armed with half their gifts (the rest had been taken to their flat earlier) and I fell into bed about 1-30am

So today Im shattered, legs ache, back aches even my nose aches from all the hugs and squashing of my glasses,lol...
