5 months.....

I haven't updated for 5 months now, which kind of defeats the whole purpose of starting this thing in the first place, but here goes a blow by blow of the past 147 days.


The Month of May
Imogen & David's Wedding
Flaxton, York

So I made my second visit to the uni folk up north in order to celebrate Imogen and David's nuptials. After my almost missing the mega bus up there, we were lumped with the most dense taxi driver in the world. We were all ready in our finery, in a lovely air conditioned cab, but then got stuck in a fuck load of traffic, the woman didn’t know where she was dropping us off, my good old Nokia maps to the rescue and I directed her to the venue! But by the time we had eventually got there the coach bringing us to the church had already left…duh duh duh. So, now fighting back the tears about the fact that we might miss the one most singular important day of our beloved Imogen’s life, BEN came to the rescue. Yes Ben, fresh faced young Ben who worked behind the bar, the best thing about fresh faced young Ben was that he had a car, he could drive that car, and best of all, he could drive it fast!

Approximately 3 minutes later we dashed into the church and took our pews just before the beautiful bride turned up. Imogen waltzed down the aisle like an actual princess (the dress was also called ‘the Princess’ so it’s a fact) with her Wild Thornberries Dad proud as punch.

Ceremony over, we got a massive old school bus back to the reception venue. The food, wine, champagne, toast, speeches were all awesome, but the highlight of the meal was the biggest fucking cheese board I have EVER seen in my life. It was a CHEESE TABLE! Michelle took full advantage of the cheese table, did me proud. In good old Imogen style there was the cheesiest wedding band known to man which pleased us greatly because by that time we were smashed and well up for a good dance.

All in all, a truly beautiful wedding and it was so nice to be around all the uni girls again – next time, they come to London to visit me!
