Last weekend, I got to go to the wedding of Liz and Simon. Particular highlights included:
- Liz & Simon getting married! Aww. Congratulations to you both!
- Catching up with ex-Aberites from far and wide. Drinking, dancing, and talking about religion, philosophy, and sex.
- The céilidh, which is one of the best wedding ideas ever, not least because everybody gets to dance with the bride.
- A fantastic venue: the beautiful St. Mary’s Guildhall, in Coventry (a city with, it seems, a half-dozen nice buildings nestled in between a thousand concrete monstrosities and a ring road modeled on Satan’s anus itself).
- Delicious food! And cake! And (veggie) sausage sandwiches just as we were beginning to run out of energy to continue dancing!
- Speeches – both moving and funny – from the bride’s father, the groom, and the best man… but all were beaten by Kellie, a 2 year-old guest whose own short but hilarious speech, “I’m pooing!”, which she shouted from the balcony of the dining room.
