I guess this was some kind of knowing insult back in those days

Yes - I was telling CPot at some point this is the venue we chose in the finish thanks to the meddling.....

But yes - that was the wedding suite...very similar to Mr HPM's current choice of bed...

I was pipped - by my Minstral with the Codpiece, down the red carpet to the Dias with English Pipes (like Bagpipes but not quite as high pitched)

I wore an Ivory dress with tiny shoe sting straps, Had to have it all adjusted at the last minute cos stupid me had gone and got pregnant again...Duh luckily the lass who adjusted it did it so i could loosen it if i'd gotten to big:eek: we stayed at a campsite in Allonby near the lakes afterwards...Was the most fantastic holiday,and although I wanted Fiji, it couldn't have turned out better:wub::thumbsup:

Like i said wanted Fiji with bronzed Fijian warriers carrying me to the Alter aaaah twas not ment to be...Think hubbie just told me we were skint so I didn't run of with previosly mentioned, bronzed Fijian Warrier:eek:

Cant think of anything worse than being the centre of attention and ogled and posed infront of people I barely know or like, having to be nice and rubbish like that:o then there was all the fighting and people demanding things like being on the top table and my dad buying his walking down the isle job (long story)...Thats how my sisters wedding turned out ...so we ran off and did it, my aunty still refused to come to the little shindig we had at home cos 'she didn't know any one?':curse:
