The part where I was sober, i.e. the ceremony part - a thousand times worse that I had expected. I wanted to curl up and die, and the boy had red marks on his hands from where I was clawing my nails into him.

The bit afterwards with the massive amount of alcohol and food? Bloody brilliant (yes, all you people who told me I was stressing out to much and it would be fine, you can say "I told you so"). I vaguely remember telling [livejournal.com profile] goblin_dae that she could now be my bit on the side as no-one else could satisfy me like she could (hot chocolate and Batman, of course), the boy (who shall henceforth be known as the wife) ended up wearing twinkling fairy lights, I was given a whisk shaped like a squid, and we had one person throwing up, one passing out, one doing both, and one drunkenly sobbing that because her boyfriend's mother had died a few years back, she would never have a mother-in-law to hate.

A very good night, and I'm very impressed to discover that even when I'm drunk enough to be staggering around the garden talking absolute bollocks to anyone in my path, I'm still capable of making 9 cups of tea and correctly using an unfamiliar camera on aperture priority in poor lighting conditions. I'll put up photos later once I've finished sorting them.

Fine, FINE. You told me so. Not that some parts of it weren't truly dreadful and justified the fretting I was doing beforehand, but the copious amounts of alcohol helped to blur my memory.

Surely you mean commiserations? ;)

Both. Either. ;)

Congratulations on surviving your wedding. You and the wife will be very happy together. :-D I wish you all the best, and the best sort of evil!genuius offspring. ;) Even if they're just cats.

Thank you! I'm so glad it's finally over, but it was a good party.

It'll be better for everyone if we raise kittens rather than children. If our offspring ended up with the wife's looks and my brains, well, they'd be screwed from birth, the poor things.

I made it without murdering anyone! And no-one mentioned babies... apart from when the wife implied to my father that I was pregnant with another man's child. Yes, I've made a huge mistake, haven't I? ;)

Ah booze . . . it makes all things bearable. ;D

Heh, it's awesome. I very rarely drink - I go months without touching a drop - but as soon as I'm in a stressful situation it's "BEER! NEED BEER!"

Congrats! It's over and now you can relax. :DDD

No, I can't relax! I've got two more wretched parties in Singapore and Australia to suffer through. I'm going to have to book a holiday for just us later in the year to get over this one.

Yes, you did. And then you signed a contract that you agree to keep me, as your mistress, in the style to which I am accustomed. So that's an order of pavlova for every visit, missy.

Sorry, "Mrs."

You didn't look that terrified during the ceremony, so it's ok. I'm still so impressed that you didn't say, "Fuck, if I really have to..." instead of "I do."

One pavlova for every visit? Christ, you are a demanding, insatiable mistress.

You should see the photos taken in the registry office - I never knew I could pull such a variety of ridiculous faces.

You do make me laugh!

(In a good way. Not at you.)

Congratulations to you and the wife.

I'm fairly certain that a lot of people were laughing at me on the day - at the ridiculous embarrassed faces I was pulling.

And thank you! :)
