andsome Posted June 23, 2005 Report Share Posted June 23, 2005 Hi folks. I will pop in when I can during the next week to see if you are behaving yourselves. I will be with 'Er indoors baby sitting in Shrewsbury. I can get on line on Jackie's crap top, but as it's dial up it's all a bit of a pain.Our daughter is getting married on Friday to boyfriend Adam, and we will be looking after the kids while they go to Morocco on honeymoon. It will be an unusual wedding in EVERY sense of the word. Jackie is a very unusual young woman at the best of times. The wedding is to take place in a building on the edge of a field, a civil ceremony. It is at Llanraedr Ym Mochant, just inside Wales, in spitting distance of Oswestry. After the ceremony we all move into the field and go down to the waterfall, where a pagan blessing will be given by a white witch. The wedding feast, which is self catering with yours truly spending £225 on meat, will be either a picnic on the grass, or chairs, or in one of two marquees, whichever takes the fancy. If the thunder storms have not moved in by then, there will be merry making for the kids, followed by a campfire, which they intend to keep burning all night. Many guests are camping in the field, but we along with several others have chickened out and opted for bed and breakfast. On Saturday morning there will be a treasure hunt, by car. They have liaised with several amusement business in the area, and obtained discount rates for helicopter rides, hot air balloon rides, para gliding, abseiling etc, etc. On Saturday evening someone is preparing a gigantic cauldron of curry for the evening meal, followed by another camp fire. On Sunday morning we all stagger off home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bvw Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Thunderstorms and rain down here this morning andsome, heading your way I believe :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andsome Posted June 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 26, 2005 We were very lucky. It tipped down on Friday morning, but cleared up well before the 2-30 wedding. I was very surprised how much we all enjoyed the pagan blessing ceremony, and the weather stayed good for that also. It belted down with rain while we were in the marquee stuffing our faces, but we all had a great time with plenty of music and dancing in the marquee. Saturday also stayed fine but cool and everything went off well. The only problem was that we have been eaten alive by midges. I have just popped in home after dropping my sister and her husband off at his brothers, and will now go back to Shrewsbury for a weeks baby sitting.
