Wedding Part C

The night kicked on. There was a torrential down pour at one point with a very nice breeze and the gorgeous smell of rain. There was a small hiccup with the wedding cake.

It was a, um, *insert special name here that drongo can't remember!*, made up of profiteroles filled with a coffee cream and custard cream. Hmm, I think I had better confirm that with the bride, note to self.

For some reason some bright cookie put it on the table for the ceremony in the afternoon. It was a warm day. This cake needs to be kept cool. When it was found to be leaning more than the Pisa and hanging on by a shrapnel of toffee, it was taken away and chilled.

However the lumpy thing could not be saved and ended up being re-plated. See below. Doesn't really have the same niceness does it. Didn't matter of course, it tasted absolutely d.e.v.i.n.e. Each plate had one piece of each flavour accompanied by double whipped cream and coulis. My lord the tongue is quivering just thinking of that precious plate of goodness.

The pair had their dance. I said it should have been like Robert and Amy's wedding dance on Everybody Loves Raymond. This is a cute photo, the little lovebirds!

Then everybody had fun. We danced and drank and talked and played. Belinda, Gemma and I with our 'come hither' looks. Sexy huh? Belinda was the Master of Ceremonies for the night. She did such a fantastic job! She rocks, really. Gemma is fun. But I won't mention her glass of red wine and my dress. Nope.

The cutie is Melynda. She has been friends with Mel for a long time. She is funny and easy to play with. This was the first night she had left her baby (4.5years!) so her and hubby were making it a good night. She wants to have a post-wedding hens night!

The two bridesmaids. Scrub up alright hey?
Bunch of crazy girlies here. From left: Belinda, Melynda, Mel, Gemma, me and Erin (Mel's sister).
Plus Sonia, all having a good time.

It was a beautiful and fun day. We all enjoyed seeing Mel and Brent get hitched. It was pretty cool just walking upstairs to go to bed too! Can't wait to see the professional photos, they should be cool.

Mel and Brent left for their six week honeymoon a few days later. Mexico, New York and some places in Europe, a white Christmas and then home to this heat. Phew.
