Welcome to Becca & PJ's wet wedding weekend!

I know you've probably heard everyone grumbling about the weather already & I'm afraid I'm going to join in....where's the spring?! When Becca & PJ planned their wedding for March I'm sure they didn't expect it to be so wet & windy. No amount of minging weather was going to dampen anyone's spirits though & a few damp hair doos & soggy shoes weren't going to keep us away.

PJ looked very cool, calm & collected as we waited (& waited!) for the blushing bride to arrive. The service was lovely & really heartfelt. After a few soggy photos outside we all mingled in the church enjoying some sarnies & Bucks Fizz before setting off to the recepetion.

The food was yummy (anywhere that serves Black Pudding as part of their starter is a winner in my eyes!) & there was even a guest ale on tap (that ran out a bit too quickly!). All throughout the day there were wonderful handmade touches, from the flowers on the tables that Becca's parents had grown to the lovely cake & cake topper. Speaking of the cake it was cut using a sword from PJs family. There was an info sheet explaining where it had came from but in all the excitement of the disco I forgot to take a peek so I'm still none the wiser - boo!

There wasn't a first dance planned but later on in the evening the dance floor cleared to allow the happy couple a little slow dance & it was so sweet.

The disco was muchos fun (once I'd changed my shoes!). Seeing as Becca & I have known each other since starting uni there were lots of old faces around that I caught up with, it was just like FND (Friday Night Disco) but with a few other faces around & no pints of Nasty! I think this photo above is what happens when you mix numerous sugary drinks & sneaky raids to the sweet table! Who needs alcohol?! Yoink!

All that's left to say is Congratumalations! You're fab together, enjoy your Honeymoon (hopefully with warmer weather than here?! :P) & here's to many years of happiness! Love you guys! :D

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
