Small highlights for me:
1 – Being part of the wedding party coming down the slippery slope and watching everyone trying to hold their balance. Deciding flip flops were a really bad idea.
2 – The rain holding its breath throughout the ceremony, and the way the bride and groom had eyes only for each-other. Aw...
3 – Watching the fabulous blacksmith forging an iron ring for the newly-weds - a really original idea.
4 – Heading for the free bar. Admiring the wedding cake - a generous stacked pile of cheese!
5 – John and three others having to push his car onto higher ground when it got stuck. The announcment over the PA system for everyone to rescue their cars.
6 – Everyone coming back covered in mud. A general feeling in the air of conquering disaster.
7 – Deciding between the ‘premier’ portaloos (more of a walk, but less muddier interior) or the ‘portaloo of impending doom’ – the lone toilet on the wonk by the thistles.
8 – Lots of happy people dancing in the main tent. Let those that scoff at wellies look on in jealousy.
9 – The walk in pitch darkness back to John’s car.
10 – The creep through the B&B when I had to take nearly everything off in the porch to avoid dripping mud through the house, with John going back to mop the floor after our wake.
