Here comes the bride....
Wedding time!
My longest bestest friend Kate is now married to Sean. The day was gorgeous. It was a natural progression, some say long over due (10 years together already) but it is still strange that my friends are newly weds. They are proper grown ups now. But such a fun day was had, I think by just about everyone.
We woke at 6am, the sun streaming in, unseasonably warm for mid October. 32 degrees celcius was the top that day. Hair & makeup started at 9am. We left the hotel after 1pm. That's a long time trying to stay pretty. Bless air conditioning. Imagine, me, trying not to touch or pick at my foundation.
Us ladies made it down the aisle (the staircase, down the side of the beach, the lizards stayed hidden this time, hurrah) to meet the boys for a beautiful ceremony. Sun was streaming, flies were out in full force. Groomsman Mark's flower jumped off mid ceremony, well ok, so maybe it just melted off! We had a great mingle on the beach after the ceremony, and the photographer made Kate & Sean do romantic photos & then got on to the silly stuff, which is clearly where we all excel. Photo shoot was lots of fun. Photographer was soo on the same wavelength as us.
Reception was lovely too, really fab venue, right on the beach front. Lot's more fun was had. And did I mention bad dancing? Lot's of that my friends.
Fun continued right til 4am in the lobby bar of our hotel, bride & groom included. We had a kebab run about 2.30am, friends were napping at tables by themselves, and such a lot of silly photos shot. Poor hotel lobby bar.
And to cap off a fab day, Laura suggested that we do commando rolls down the hallway to our room. And we did.
