RB's son got married ....
Posted: Sun Aug 07, 2011 12:53 pm
We had a brilliant day - everything went off with only some very minor hiccups, nothing really worth mentioning, the bride looked stunning, my son looked so handsome and together they looked so very happy 
Sods law did kick in though, with it being England vs Wales NONE of us wanted to know the score especially Xeno, the Welsh contingent are all fanatical Wales supporters so we had a pact not to check up on the game so that we didnt slip up and tell the groom the result .... best laid plans and all that .... the flipping hotel had the game on live on a giant screen in reception where we had to gather for the photos!! 
Mind you it was nice being at my sons wedding and still being able to watch most of the 2nd half
Lots of lovely surprises on the day, and my special gift to the couple made them both cry ... I had designed and commissioned a traditional lovespoon to be hand carved comprising a Welsh Dragon and and English Rose & enscribed "Llongyfarchiadau" with their names and the date. My twitter plan worked a treat and they were absolutely blown away to receive congratuations and good wishes from so many of the Wales, Ospreys & Cardiff Blues rugby teams and I'd even managed a master stroke by managing to get a special message for Vicky from JLS
Xeno shocked all of us including his new wife by spending half the night on the dancefloor ... dancing!!
lots of funny moments including a couple of stand outs ... my brother dissapearing in the evening and returning wearing his cut and club colours not sure if The Hilton has ever seen a hells angel in the function room before My boss turning up in full "uniform" and dog collar and performing a "drive by" blessing of the happy couple and my sister-in-law and her partner treating us to their version of Dirty Dancing "Time of Our Lives" which resulted in her half flattening him that was funy enough on its own but she was heard to say "I don't know what happened there we did that Ok last time..." to which he replied .... "yes but I was 5 years younger and you were 2 stone lighter then.... "
The cake topper was absolutely perfect... and so appropriate...
Heres just a few photos....these are all from family & friends as obviously we don't have the formal ones yet.
They are off to Florida tomorrow for their honeymoon they are doing pretty much ALL the theme parks so I imagine they'll come back exhausted and flat broke but I'm sure they'll have a wonderful time.
