Wedding Bells
November 3rd, 2006
I am going to a wedding tomorrow. I am giving a speech, and looking after the punch. It feels good to be involved. I’m even happier that it is where one of my best friends, Jeremy Irwin, marries the girl of his dreams, Simone. Congratulations to them both.
I have also just gotten off the phone to my little sister Sarah, who has told me that her boyfriend, Michael, just proposed to her last night, and that she has accepted his proposal. Far out! I’m very happy for her. I even managed to resist the temptation to start giving her advice. There will be plenty of time for her to not listen to me later! So congratulations to Sarah and Michael also.
So exciting times all round.
[Update] It is now Monday morning, and Jeremy and Simone should be safely ensconced in their Honeymoon hideaway. Their wedding went super-awesome-great! The reception was at a bowls club (nothing like 1972 beer prices!) and was going really well (even my speech seemed to be well received). Then someone had the idea of actually playing lawn bowls. The staff (Corinda Bowls Club) were more than happy to lend bowls to anyone who wanted to play. Within ten minutes, just about eveyone at the reception, including the bride and the groom, were in bare feet playing lawn bowls. If that doesn’t give you an idea of the chilled-out, relaxed vibe, then nothing will. Needless to say, I was having a great time.
[Extra Update] I forgot to mention the great work of Jeremy’s sisters singing and playing acoustic guitars (especially when they played The Sundays song, Summertime), and also of Jeremy’s less-than-great rendition of Lior’s This Old Love, which he sang for Simone, albeit in a previously unrecognised register! It was funny!
Yay for Jeremy!
Yay for Simone!
Double Yay for Sarah!!
Honestly, I was a little surprised to hear of last nights engagement. Ok, VERY surprised. In a good way.
Congrats to all.
@Stephen - has she ever listened to your advice?
Also, I’ll have to change the entry in my mobile phone for Michael.
Currently its reads Mick Lumberjack!
What is Mick’s surname anyway? Seriously, I don’t know.
Thanks for the review dude, thats great!
Congrats to Sarah and Mick Also!!!!
No worries Jeremy. I just realised I forgot to mention the part I got you up to strike some air-guitar poses. Hahaha!
Sheesh, I had fun that night.
Hey I just found this part….wow cool, people are congratulating me and I didn’t even know?!?!?
You’d think that with all the computer wiz kids in my family I’d have some idea about them…but NO I DON’T.
Thanks guys!
I was also a little suprised…HAPPY SUPRISED!
