Danny and Tasha get hitched!

Last week was something of a mad dash, running back and forth across the Country and then down and up it, but it was all worth it!

Thursday saw a 5:00am start to make sure that I could leave work early....as usual things never quite run to plan, and so standing on the platform waiting for the 5:40pm train home.....I was supposed to be picking up one of The Guys at 7:30!!!!! Raced home, packed, showered and was on the road again travelling down to Litchfield (a great journey down! Why can't the roads always be this quiet!!!!)

We were staying with some friends on the night before the wedding, and a few sly beers, and we were ready for bed after a very busy day! Sleeping on the floor, whilst my friend got the bed, imagine my great delight when the mate woke me up at 6:30am to tell me that it was morning, repeatedly, till I was awake enough before he fell asleep again! Well I was awake and at that annoying point of still being extremely tired, but too awake to slip back to sleep again!

Up and downstairs making a cuppa and after a shower, feeling a lot better, we started planning for the day ahead! We had booked into a hotel close to the reception and as the ceremony wasn't until 3pm we thought we would check in to the hotel and change there before heading on.....another hour long journey around Birmingham.....to arrive at 1.30pm. At last we could get ready and catch up with the wedding party!

"Of course" said one of the friends, "you can check in anytime after 12pm!" Great!!!

Except "no check in time isn't until 3pm!"

"But that's when the wedding starts!"

"Well for an extra £20 we can check you in early!" (at least Dick Turpin wore a mask!)

So scrubbed up and into best kit a race to the hotel and then catch up with the rest of the Guys!

The Bride looked blushing, and the Groom looked flushing (as expected.....it was a hot day and he had his full dress uniform on!) After a very nice ceremony we were released back outside to sit by the Severn (I think) whilst the official photograph were taken!

And after the photographs back into the bar and a very drunken night!

A great night, with lots of laughter and dancing (and the a few drinks!)

Good luck to both of you, may you have everything you desire and wish for nothing!
