We got married

It went as well as could be exopected when you plan anything this mildly big. Many weddings are bigger than ours but it still turned out a logistical nightmare. Let me run you through it step by step.

- Picked up my suit the day before
- Day before also went to the butchers and the deli to pick up bbq meat and salads (we had a bbq reception in a beautiful park down on the peninsula)
- Went out for my last dinner as a single man with my wife to be.
- Got up early and watched some crap DVDs, ate a small breakfast
- Waiting for my friends to come and get me and we were all to go to meet the bus which was taking all our friends and myself there.
- They called and cancelled on me letting me know they will meet me at the bus instead.
- Called a taxi and lugged the meat and salads to the bus. Realised that maybe 30kg(66 pounds for you non metric amongst us) of meat is too much for the exclusive 25 people we had coming.
- Bus driver meets us and asks how to get where we are going.
- Assume he is joking
- He isnt
- My mum and dad catch the bus.
- It is the first time they have seen each other since the rather acrimonious divorce
- Mum bought her new boyfriend.
- Mum and her boyfriend sat at the very front of the bus.
- Dad sat with a bucket of KFC at teh back.
- My friends liked dad cos he shared his bucket. The old man knows how to make friends.
- My friends also bought two slabs of beer.
- Before we left the city limits I was on my third beer
- Stopped drinking cos slight slurring of my words was beginning.
- Bus driver took us to the peninsula via the middle of fucking nowhere
- I was late for the wedding
- Being half an hour late ofr the wedding when you have all the guests with you doesnt buy you brownie points with your bride.
- She looked beautiful
- I looked like a slightly well dressed oaf
- We got married with beautiful NZ music playing in the background
- Noticed some wierd guy I didnt know turned up in King Gee work gear
- Mum burst into tears
- Turned out it was my secret brother
- The second the ceremony was over "Mrs Robinson" by Simon and Garfunkel started playing.
- My surname is Robinson
- Now Heidi's surname is also Robinson
- We posed for a billion photos
- I helped cook a bbq and drank more beer.
- We took the bus back to the city via the middle of fucking nowhere.
- We all went to the local pub and had some beer including my scret adopted brother who it turns out is a pretty nice guy
- Heidi and I went to a hotel booked in as mr and Mrs Jason Robinson

So that is it. We are happily married and squirrelled away in Richmond. No babies yet and nothing like that but all very happy.
