turpsI survived the wedding and had a good time. I usually do, it's the thought of meeting new people that freaks me out, when I'm actually there it's fine.
We picked one of James' friends up, D is a lovely old man, such a gentleman. He shut the car door for me, waited behind to let me catch up and ushered me into the hotel, just little things like that. Met some more friends inside. Had a bit of chat with them and they took us to the table they had, right in the middle of the other tables. I ended up at the end away from the dance floor which made talking difficult especially with the music. Then James' other friend and his wife came in. Now I was worried about meeting I as when we were driving in James told me not to be offended if he said something insulting and that put my back up straight away. James tried to explain that I was just a straight talking man who liked to joke about, but that's something I wouldn't appreciate. As it was I was okay, he joked with James all night about his love handles and hair etc but was nice to me. It was just, he's weird. He looks like Basil Fawlty mixed with Jim Carey, has one of those really mobile faces and he never shut up. Blowing kisses to James, messing peoples hair up, I honestly didn't know what to make of him. He's a financial adviser and really intelligent but he was a bit too full on for me, his wife was lovely though.
Next some other friends came, and sat next to me at the end of the table. S and her husband were great, she made an effort to talk despite the loud music. Which brought me to the shock of the night. We're trying to talk over the music and she says 'James tells me you like to write stories on the internet' I was stunned, I knew that James had told some people but I never thought one would ask, and it was at such a bad time. I explained as well as I could but I wasn't going to touch the slash side. I doubt she'd be bothered but the timing sucked. She also asked if we were going to have more children which annoyed me a tiny bit. I always get asked that, and I really don't want to go into how the things that happened when Corey was born freaked me out every time. So I just say we're still waiting every time, which we are ...sigh.
There was a buffet on and the food was gorgeous. The only thing with buffets is people watch to see what you eat, so you never put as much on your plate as you'd like. Well I don't but that's because I don't want to hear people say 'look how much that fat cow eats'
I'd started drinking coke but moved onto alcopops. Iron brew and bright blue vodka drinks in the end. I hate larger and beer but I do like spirits and fruity alchopops. So I ended up with quite a few as they were buying in rounds. Alcopops with straws, can I be any more of a charver *g*
Lovely slashy moment which I should be ashamed of liking but nope no shame here. The groom I know and his male friend sang 'I'll be there' and it was good. They were hamming it up but still had good voices. The one that took the womans part had a voice worthy of Chris, really high, much higher than most men. So they were touching and then kissed on the mouth at the end. How I restrained myself from cheering I'll never know ;)
There was also a very pretty magician working the tables, he was so cute and his tricks were cool. If I wasn't so buzzed at the time maybe I would have seen how he did them, but they seemed miraculous at the time.
I didn't dance as it takes a lot more drink than I had to get on the dance floor. But if I did I would have got on down and pointed at the huge disco ball that was above us, because UATW was stuck in my head when I saw it. As it was the lights made me dizzy circling round the room, I'm sure it was going too fast. The music selection sucked too, standard mixed age fare, but that didn't stop two old ladies who were really grooving on down. They were awesome, dancing together and pulling their skirts right up, the stars of the show *g*
Left at midnight and dropping a load of people off. I was going to check mail before I went to bed but once I sat down on the couch it took all my effort to get up and go to bed, I could have easily slept on the couch last night.
So now I'm sitting reading mail and drinking coffee. My headaches just going now after taking paracetamol and I feel good. So yes, a good night which proved once again I always worry about things more than I should.
