The World of the Wedding Party

I have returned, it was very hot again today and I have been outside painting some walls Moroccan Blue because we are having Moroccan weather at present so rather than the expense of going to Morocco we are making Morocco here.

Now I am sure you will want to know how I got on at the wedding yesterday which had perfect wedding weather particularly as the wedding reception was held at Mr Charlie’s and Miss Jane’s house, well in his garden. It is a large garden which was just as well because it had a huge marquee in the garden for everyone to eat in and then for the band to play and folk to leap about in.

Miss L the Bride 


I also learnt that it is very bad form when the vicar says “is there anyone here who can think of any reason why these two people can not be joined in holy matrimony”, (or words to that effect) to try and think of good reasons. Well no one said anything and I have always been told at school it is best to at least try and answer the question rather than leave it blank. And you are not meant to put forward six reasons and I was told being a Zombie does not stop someone getting married.


Mr Charlie Miss Jane and their son (who was not getting married)


On meeting the brother of the groom it is also not a great idea to say to the bride “Just as well you are not marrying the ugly one” when you then find out that the brother of the groom is his identical twin.

All in all though it was a very good wedding and everyone was happy, and I got to see the old climbing frame that the Ghost Writer made with Mr Charlie many moons ago and also the tree that poor old Bongo the dog was buried under after the Ghost Writer ran him down slightly by accident, also many moons ago.

One thing we have all learnt is that the countries security forces will read all this because it now appears they are the main users of social media, I did say to everyone as I was taking pictures that they should smile because MI6 would be assessing if they looked a bit shifty or not, and in general people look less shifty if they smile (apparently I don’t look less shifty, so I am told).

The Climbing Frame


Ooooo Fish and chips for tea tonight YUM although the cat complained about the fish. . . . Typical cat.

Ooooooo finally Hello MI6, the swallow flies in the corn field while my umbrella sings to the wood pigeon (I think) or in other words the microdot is in the wood shed . . . . . AH sorry but this code book is rubbish. 

The Marquee

No one ever photographs the photographer (but I do)

  1. Didn't everyone have a good time at the wedding. I try not to think about weddings. I photographed the photographer at a particular wedding I'm trying to forget about.

    I recall something about Morocco. Never mind. *cough* *cough*....

    Sunny daze, indeed.

    1. Everyone had a good time it was remarkably civilized and devoid of overly exciting guests who had toasted the bride a few too many times.

      As for Morocco, they do like Harmonica players as long as they don't busk....

  2. Nice one Rob. Glad your Dads weather machine held out and the sun shone all day.

    I have a (slightly) weird phobia of photographs.
    I never smile when my picture is being taken.

    I have my reasons for this, but will save them another time.

    :O)

    1. The trick Mr H with photos is to stick a Custard Cream in your mouth just before the photographer says smile.

      But I can understand your avoidance of the camera as the head of a large secret organisation, a secret so secret you have sworn me to secrecy . . . . AH DAMN sorry about that Mr H.

  3. I think the first treaty the US made was with Morocco. I am hot today too.

    1. I wonder if the fact you are hot and it has been hot here means that it has been hot everywhere in between where I am and where you are.

    2. That would be a strange isotherm to stretch thousands of miles and would no (know) doubt confuse weathermen. I am awake when I shouldn't be but at least I can walk, so I appear to be getting better. I am deeply saddened by the loss of Iain M Banks.

    3. I am glad you are on the mend and I am glad our weather is on the mend. And it was sad about Mr Banks but he went out fighting, and I guess will be in another dimension now making his mark on a new world.

  4. Why wasn't invited to the wedding? Sure I didn't know anyone there, but I am a superb wedding guest. I know exactly when to clap and I am quite partial to toast, of which there is a lot at weddings.

    Still, I'm pleased that you had a good time and was able to catch that creepy photo guy on camera.

    1. Hello Mr Addman, as it happened I only knew the father of the Bride and his wife really well and their kids (including the bride) and then there was another 150 people who I did not have a clue who they were.

      I have reason to believe that you were originally on the invite list but the security forces said your blog makes you an undesirable. I think it has something to do with your choice of biscuit.

    2. That is discrimination! I can't help the tastebuds I was born with! Caterers are legally obligated to provide for my dietary requirements.

    3. I think you are probably correct about that under English discrimination laws but the wedding was on in Wales.....

  5. I had fish and chips on Saturday, it was lovely. It looks like it was a nice wedding :)
