The Wedded Jester

So, I'm married!

Truth be told that is not a sentence that I ever thought I would write about myself, yet alone be one that is one hundred percent true and awesome.

As most folks will know my recent radio silence on The Bauble has been down to me not wanting to post just a dozen rants about preparing for the wedding, which would have also run the risk of me mocking things that had to be done before the wedding. Generally in life a top tip is don't mock wedding related things when your wife knows you have a blog. It tends to result in a violence! But now the wedding is over, the honeymoon just begun, and I can once again start to fill this space with the vapid thoughts that bubble around in my addled mind.

But let's get the ball rolling by recapping the wedding.

Man alive was it everything it could have been and more. The lady friend, who now needs a new moniker on this site as she has since become my wife, looked absolutely stunning on the day. Our bridal party managed to pull off an amazing amount of work on the day. The speeches ticked all the right boxes and pleased the assembled mass (no pun intended). The food was beyond great, although herself had a bad case of nerves on the day and didn't really get to eat anything. I however wolfed down two lamb shanks and the best sticky toffee pudding you could ever ask for. Our band and DJ were very well received and filled the floor the entire night, without any of the usual awkward moments at a wedding where people have to be dragged onto the dance floor in order to make it look like people are having fun. All the guests seemed to have a good time as well, which was nice, and nobody got "messy drunk" and ruined somebody else's night. I didn't get talking to everyone on the night sadly and even the ones I did talk with I only got conversations that last three or four minutes before trying to tip along to the next group, but alas such is the way with weddings. On the day the bride and groom barely see each other and only get to hear how the wedding went as they are too busy with the "meet and greet" as well as the typical camera bombardment that takes place at these things.

Now, however, myself and the little lady are on honeymoon ( which will be getting a few rants posted up to make folk nice and jealous of course ) and enjoying life after a very, very hectic eighteen months or so.

To all that came to the big day a massive thanks, you really brought the energy to ensure it was a great party for everyone involved. For all who helped out leading up to the event, you are legends in your own right. To the bridal party, well such a crack skilled team has only been assembled once before in 1972 and even they would not have been able to do the job you all did! True story.

To my new wife, thanks for only being thirty minutes late. That really helped with the nerves :P

Now I need to figure out a new title for herself on this site, suggestions in the comments below. Best one will live in infamy forever more.
