WEDDING DAY

The first thing I had to do on Saturday was go to Kings Langley and get my hair put up, one hundred and four bobby pins later and my head scratched by pins on more than one occasion, my hair was up and lacquered by a can of spray…..okay I exaggerated with the pins and spray. To the supermarket for some batteries for my camera, if you want to get picked up the battery section is the place, because some fellow was desperately wanting to chat with me, it was at this point I thought my hair must look good. I drove back to Jackie’s feeling pretty sexy. Sarah came over and made up my face, I felt so special and beautiful. Sarah even attacked her father and made him look much fresher tidying up bits and pieces, not allowed to say what bits or pieces, maybe above the eyes….no I am not saying he got his brows done. Time to adorn ourselves with the wedding gear, all went smoothly and we looked smart trotting off to our cars. What a wonderful day the sun was shining but not too hot. Ben, Rowan and Brigitta met us in the car park we had Robyn and Peter already waiting for us, Robbie presented me with a bunch of cream roses in a beautiful bouquet. Slowly our guests arrived everyone on time. How wonderful to have family and a few close friends. John looked so handsome and I have never felt so excited in my life. The vows went beautifully with John add libbing a little, it now seems I have committed myself to making him breakfast in bed everyday. The day was filled with emotion, we are so lucky to have beautiful children and special friends. Having Trent give me away was just fantastic and Jake's huge effort to get Kurt participating over the web was very much appreciated. Karee made a speech which had me in tears and Kurt's speech read by Trent had us laughing. Happiness, pride, excitement,love all at the same time. Suddenly I wanted to share all this with my mum, and I wished circumstances could have been different and she would have been there. The luncheon was exceptional but I would have eaten anything. Such a big day we partied on at the Motel up the road. Where I had a little more opportunity to chat with everyone, and so it continued drinking and chatting until it was time to retire, and I was a little tipsy. Mrs Irwin drunk never!
