Attended a wedding on Saturday. It was quite lovely and very small, less than 30 people, so I felt very lucky to be invited, never mind that I fully intended to crash the ceremony anyway (had already recieved permission from the bride).
I wore my black and silver bridesmaids dress. I felt weird wearing black to a wedding, but again had express permission from the bride. She requested mandarin collar and it's the only dress i can fit that has one.
Earlier in the day I helped muggle with transporting new couch and chairs and disposing of old one. It was my first trip (that I recall) to the tip! Much nicer than I expected. Pirip's parents were visiting so he stayed at home and tidied! I wish they visited more ;) They also brought us much delicious food...mmmmm.
Beau and I had to leave the wedding early to join in his brother's 30th and SIL 31st birthday celebrations. Also had the return of a wandering sister with her fiancee, so it was basically a big family reunion. That brother and his wife won't be there at christmas, so they handed out their presents then. Each present came with a Mr Man or Little Miss book and you had to guess who's was whose. I got Little Miss Chatterbox and Beau got Mr Noisy (there wasn't any Mr LATE :).
We didn't get home until well after midnight and I stayed up too late reading a Maeve Binchy novel. I still managed to get up on Sunday and see people at Thorndon Fair. Got home and had Pirip's and muggle and my parents over for lunch. Then I had a nap and it was good.
Later on, Beau and I bumbled over to Svend's house and had Mavericks Pizza for dinner. Very nice. Svend was all about the fancy drinks and my water came with strawberry and lemon slices. We watched QI, then borrowed books and came home.
Long and not that interesting, but at least that big website isn't ruining stonesoup's front page anymore ;)
