<br />We dropped into <a href="http://www.nigelordsmith.com/">Nigel</a>’s this afternoon to pick up the Wedding photographs. It’s been a long wait, but definitely worth it – thanks Nigel, they’ve brought back some very happy memories of our special day.<br />
Friends and Family: Take cover, you know what’ll be the topic of conversation next time we see you!<br />

All the key players were there. Wow! what an event. The singing brought a tear to the eye and musicians were just fantastic! A real worthwhile exercise overall, and it really helped to iron out the nitty-gritty. Thanks Jill, Thanks Emma for your advice..and your patience!</p> <p><font color="#0000ff" face="arial"><strong><br>Hen Night:</strong></font></p> <p>Ann had her Hen Night at <a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Rushden+Hall,+Hall+Ave,+Rushden,+Northamptonshire+NN10+9NG,+United+Kingdom&daddr=Rushden+Hall,+Hall+Ave,+Rushden,+Northamptonshire+NN10+9NG,+UK&hl=en&view=map&geocode=CSft94m-YHU5FRPVHQMd8tj2_w&t=m&z=16&vpsrc=0" target="_blank">Rushden Hall</a>…or was it <a href="http://www.rushtonhall.com/" target="_blank">Rushton Hall</a>. Whichever one it was, as <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ralph.goodson" target="_blank">Ralph</a> and I were the surprise guests to run the ‘Hen Quiz’, I managed to drive us to the wrong one! Doh!!!! <br><br>On arrival, just 45 minutes late, the girls were clearly in the mood for competition :) and we proceeded to run our ‘Love and Marriage’ Quiz. Yeeks! I thought blokes were competitive, but pitch a group of girls against each other and wait for the fireworks! Lucky it was only for fun!!!!</p> <p>After announcing the winners, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ralph.goodson" target="_blank">Ralph</a> and I stayed on briefly, before tearing back to home, for a quick change of clothes ready for my Stag Night. </p> <p> </p> <p><strong><font color="#0000ff" face="arial">Stag Night:</font></strong></p> <p>My Stag Night was at <a href="http://www.therajrestaurant.net/main/" target="_blank">The Raj</a> in Kettering. Thanks to some superb organisation by Paul, we managed to conjure up enough cars to get there without needing a taxi. <a href="http://www.therajrestaurant.net/main/" target="_blank">The Raj</a> was already busy when got there, and after some drinks upstairs in the piano bar we were ushered to a separate room for main meal. <br><br>In a true and highly predictable nature of a Stag Night, it wasn’t long before some of the team were scheming! Drinks were flowing freely – a bit too freely in my direction – and I slowed down my intake considerably, if only to make it until the end of the night! <br><br>The meal was good and everyone seemed to enjoy it. Next up, back to the piano bar but not before the scheming played out in full and I was introduced to <em>Belinda</em> who together with her 34 friends were celebrating her 50th birthday via 35 bottles of wine and 15 bottles of champagne. In other circumstances, this was a young man’s dream come true, enhanced by the advice from our side that they’d apparently determined that Belinda wasn’t wearing any underwear! <br><br>My encounter with Belinda was short-lived – I wished her happy birthday, she wished me well for the wedding and i was soon following the boys back the piano bar. Clearly I wasn’t her type! <br><br>My glass only ever got to being half empty before some helpful soul (???) topped it up. I think all-in-all I only got through a couple of pints and a glass of red. My head was telling me otherwise though, and on reflection, I think some of my guests may have ‘topped up’ my beverage with other spirits. or maybe I just can’t hold my drink anymore??? – could I ever???</p> <p>Twenty minutes later, the waitress let me know that ‘36 women were about to join us’. It was Belinda’s group. Soon we were outnumbered 2:1…and it actually felt quite intimidating. Thirty-six feisty women in search of (and determined to) have a good time was a site not to be missed as they gradually took over the bar. Drinking gave way to slightly slurred speeches from Belinda’s group. Not to be outdone, Tom jumped up on stage and proceeded to ‘big me up’ in front of the girls as a great dancer (err, no!) and one of the best at spinning on my head (err, no!). Luckily for me, there wasn’t much encouragement for me to follow it through – clearly, the girls could see my potential as a dancer, just by looking at me! Phew!!!</p> <p>I lasted until around 11pm, when the alcohol was winning and my duvet was calling me. I agreed to exit with a few others leaving Tom, Paul, Bev, Trevor and John propping up the Bar. It was probably wise to leave when I did as I learned on Sunday that Tom got home around 4.30am.</p> <p>A night to remember (as all Stag’s should be), and I retired to bed just before midnight with a very, very, VERY heavy head and no recollection of being hand-cuffed to a lamp-post!</p> <p>Thanks for sorting it all out Tom – I’ll try and return the favour some time!!!!</p> <p>:)</p> <p><font color="#0000ff" face="arial"><strong>The Stags:</strong></font> </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tbody> <tr> <td width="227"><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Bev R</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Chris A</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">David A - Usher</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">David L</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Ian McL - Usher</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">John C</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">John W</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Paul J</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Paul R</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Ralph G - Best Man</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Roger G - Usher</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Roy C</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Stefan B</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Steve P</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Steve S</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Tommy T</font></td></tr> <tr> <td><font color="#0000ff" face="Arial">Trevor L</font></td></tr> <tr> <td> </td></tr></tbody></table> Steve001http://www.blogger.com/profile/02743288299289053134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810785442715820456.post-50078113705185020962011-11-25T17:00:00.000+00:002011-11-26T07:16:32.198+00:00Rings<p>We dropped into <a href="http://www.georgetarratt.co.uk/" target="_blank">George Tarratt</a>’s in Leicester this afternoon to pick-up the wedding rings.

One of the designs looked head-and-shoulders better than the others and we should have all ‘ribboned’ so you can see them at the rehearsal! The whole thing looks fantastic!!!</p> <p>All the music requests are now in from the wedding guests via the web-form and it’s a really nice mix of (mostly) music-from-the-80s. Looks like we have over three hours’ worth. <br><br><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ralph.goodson" target="_blank">Ralph</a> will be busy compiling the MP3 playlist and we’ll be trying it out for volume at the rehearsal.</p> <p>Thanks both!</p> Steve001http://www.blogger.com/profile/02743288299289053134noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5810785442715820456.post-89533120832720652912011-11-04T08:15:00.000+00:002011-11-04T08:28:55.996+00:00Rosi Reschedules!<p>Good news!.

We’ve probably got two hours maximum there and then it’s back to ours for a light lunch.<br><br>Below is the ‘who’ and ‘what’ of the event. if you wish to comment, or you think we need to add in additional stuff to discuss, email me at the usual address (don’t reply to this email).</p> <h4><font color="#ff8040">Who’ll be there?</font></h4> <p>Bride<br>Groom<br>Best Man - Ralph<br>Ushers x3 (Ian, Roger, David)<br>Ring Bearer - Oliver<br>Singer - David<br>Trumpeter - Thomas<br>Pianist - Derek<br>Reader – Karen<br>Jill – <a href="http://www.kelmarsh.com" target="_blank">Kelmarsh</a> Hall’s Wedding Co-ordinator<br>Emma – Catering </p> <p>The Magician and Toastmaster will NOT be in attendance, nor will <a href="http://www.facebook.com/myfriendrosi" target="_blank">Rosi</a>, one half of the duet – Valerie (David’s wife) may step-in to fulfil the definition of a duet :)<br></p><font color="#ff8040"></font> <h4><font color="#ff8040">What we’ll be discussing:</font></h4> <p>Choreograph Ann's entrance<br>Choreograph Groom/Best Man/Ushers/Ring Bearer entrance<br>Listen to the Duet and the additional song by David<br>Listen to the Reading by Karen<br>Choreograph the Bride and Groom exit from the Service with the chosen music <br>Check out the sound system for appropriate volume at the meal<br></p> <p>After the rehearsal, Ann and I will need to spend some time with Jill and Emma, who’s managing the catering. This will probably last 30-45 minutes.</p> <p>We also agreed it would be a good idea for Groom/Best Man/Ushers to have a final meeting. I’m not sure yet whether that will happen at <a href="http://www.kelmarsh.com" target="_blank">Kelmarsh</a> or we have it back at ours – I guess it all depends on how long all of the above takes.</p> Steve001http://www.blogger.com/profile/02743288299289053134noreply@blogger.com0
