Yep, back again….

I mentioned a wedding earlier on. Yessss……yesterday we gathered at the Reid Rooms in Essex for a special celebration. And what a celebration that has been! Let´s just forget about the good old English weather, which decided to be on the cold and wet side and focus on the happy couple : John and Sonia.

The journey there was a bit of a mission, as it´s literally in the middle of nowhere, but we arrived with 5 spare minutes to the ceremony…Fiuuuuuu, that was a close one!

So we had: a great location, a over-grinning groom, a stunning bride, a bunch of friends and family and lots of booze, food and music. I’m sure the cocktail couldn’t have been any better. And, here we go with the first picture …..

John (doesn’t he look like the Cheshire Cat????) and Jo

One little shot I got of the happy couple, that’s the problem when you’re short…..everyone is taller than you and the only things you capture on camera are the wrong heads!!!!! Hopefully I’ll get some more in due time.

The guys from Urban. In line: Stu, Chris, Perry and Brandon

Chris and Hana

We had a little vase “accident” so the flowers had to be recycled….good solution, hey???

Paul & myself

Grooving Hana

After 4!!! chips and butties (apologies if I get the spelling wrong…) Paul still did not appear to have enough. May I remind the participants of this photo of the topic we were discussing at this point?? Hana, it actually continued all the way home in the cab….to the great amusement of the driver. Thank god were were drunk, otherwise it could have been very embarassing!!!!!!! Ha ha ha!!! Loved the chat guys!!!

Just got a last minute addition…..not that it has a lot to do with the wedding, but the picture was taken there. Ta daaaaaaa. Tine = rabbit. Have a laugh on me!!!

Hi there, it´s been some time……

Yes, I´m still alive It´s been quite a month and a half…the Worldcup with way too much beer, the Windsor Pub, the “mitica” World Cup Bible, Italy and Germany meeting in the Semi-final, England loosing just a bit too early and lately Italy winning!! Forza Azzurri!! It´s been fantastic!! Unfortunately there is no photographic proof, but the night of the final Paolo and myself jumped into Trafalgar Square fountain, got completely soaked and screamed with another thousand mad people. Who happened to be there that night knows what I´m talking about!

That´s Cristina and myself after the final game, you have no idea how many people actually squeezed into that pub We´re totally soaked with some sort of fizzy wine or champagne….whatever! It was worth it!!!!!

Then there was obviously Paolo´s graduation. Yes, the eternal student has finally finished and we made sure he got a proper celebration. Isn´t he looking smart?? I obviously managed to totally embarass myself and fly down the stairs to the marquise, but hey….I promise: I wasn´t drunk at that stage!!!!

Champagne and Pimms and some strawberries and cream, it really couldn´t have been more English!!!! Oh yes, how could I forget the celebration cigar??? Not my cup of tea to be entirely honest, but it definitely contributed a rather funny picture

Just one last picture…..the two proud graduates Paolo and Shane They´re off tomorrow for a month-long trip around the world to Asia and new Zealand. I´m sure they´ll have a fantastic time, and I´m just a little…well….jealous?! No more holidays for me at least for the moment, perhaps Christmas? I´ll try to enjoy the summer as much as possible in the meantime. Bring on the Pimm´s!!!!! Catch you soon……
