Cari & Jake's Wedding 12/09/98
The following photos run from the night before right through until the afternoon after....Backing Track: "Together in Electric Dreams" |
|
Saturday 12th...... 00:30 .... arrival time back at the Groom's house.... first kebab makes an appearance !!! |
Nick, "Hello, I'm the Best man" (recite 90 times) practices the ventriloquism that he wishes he could use later !!! |
Okay you gits !!!! .... I'm wasted to death up here and all you can do is laugh up the stairs at me !!! |
"Sorry, Jakey-Boy...... is this better ??", chuckles Angela, rudely talking once again !! |
"Hey ....Look !!... it's Enrico Polozzo !!" exclaims Tony. Either that, or he is trying to get Jake to regain consciousness !! |
Jake regains consciousness very, very quickly indeed ! (Nick has sampled the *KEBAB* !) |
"That was B**ody disgushing!", he says, falling off the bed ! |
"I Guess that you don't want Second-Helpings then you ex-batchelor-to-be !!????" ...."Never Mind.... we'll eat it, at least it's better than your cooking !" |
"Yeah.....*I'll eat it.....and I'll DECK anyone who say's I can't !!!!". Nick, in hunger looks on in anguish ! |
Guess what Cari left sitting on the Hall-table........ even Bigger Guess... 'Guess what was planted in between the pages prior to their honeymoon ?!!! ' |
| The night went on with myself and Nick taking huge amounts of photos of, I don't know what !! Okay, so the Friday night/morning turned into day....and this was the big day....... the first thing that *really* didn't work in the slightest was .......... | |
The REMAINS OF THE KEBAB !! |
So we had a civilised sit-down breakfast instead !(?) |
Okay...Okay.... but never put butter in a bacon-sandwich AGAIN !! ... Ange !! |
.... Andy was packed off briefly to run a couple of errands for the Bride's Family... (including taking back one of those extremely illicit anti-male videos you could ever watch !! |
..... and then returned back to the hilarity, as Jake uses his new present from the Bride's parents to down the half-bottle of Gin that was in the fridge when I left !!! |
'Most' of Tony returns after a morning freshen-up....need I say more ??? |
Jake teaching Tony how to iron a shirt.....in the end, I did it myself .... in return for a mug of tea !..... good bargain....... |
'The Boyz', as snapped by Angela. "Why does Tony look more nervous than Jake ??" |
Okay.... we are now T-minus 30 minutes.... Jake, in the beer-garden of the Antelope, asks whether he can pull a funny face....... |
"Why break the habit of a lifetime ???", exclaims Nick ....."Just DON'T do it in Church !!!" |
Flora and Angela, dragged along to the pub...*completely* against their will !! (If you believe that then you would also believe that Flo is hiding a packet of Viagra behind her back as well !
|
Okay..... we have now had the informal stuff.... like the preparations that have probably been going on for months on end !!!This is the crunch, the BIG TIME, the moment that a rabbit realises that it has been gazing at the oncoming headlights too long and that there is no safe-run to the luscious grass-verge at the side of the road !! The rabbit ends up as next week's 'Plat de Jour' but what of the Bride and Groom ???//// ................... |
Okay...... the last handshake within the context of "Fancy a quick pint Mate ??" |
The Vic. and the M-I-L (The hat is currently receiving Radio 5 so that she can pick up the latest Wycombe score) |
Benny, (The Groom's Father, and a fantastic bloke), reacts to Anne's hat in the way that any normal bloke would !!! |
The Bridesmaids, Asher, Ali and Rachael |
Cari and Dave eventually arrive at the *correct* church |
.....Time to be nervous !!! |
Music......... vicar-noises...... singy singy sing-song.... blah-blah-blah- "I will" "I will" more vicar noises ......... blah-blah ......music........ vicar again ...... singing practice..... sit, bow, sit, stand.......... and eventually .............. |
|
Jake and Cari Kennedy - T plus 22 minutes !! |
|
Ali, Graeme and Charlotte |
Jenny, Tony (somewhere behind the hats!), Nicki and Adam |
It was chucking it down at this point - but this is the last photo before we all zoomed off to get dry !! |
I think by this stage, we were all mystified by the weather. It had been a continual cycle of nice warm sunshine followed by the appearance of severe rainstorms...... okay, on to The Belfry Hotel for the reception...... eventually for Tony, Ange, Benny and I as we got stuck in the blasted Octagon car-park for 40 minutes due to cretin-failure on the barriers !!!!........ |
This caption to Let ! I looked at it for 10 minutes but had a mental block..... on with the food..... |
The starter ! ..... fruit ?!!!... dessert springs to mind ! |
Main course |
......followed by another starter !! |
Brian...without his video camera ! |
Michelle, Tony and Angela |
Rachael S, now a doctor but still awake ! |
Benny shows off his ventriloquism skills to the camera |
Asher and Nick |
The table where all the noise was coming from ! |
