Justin & Kathryn[/caption]We booked our hotel months ago, I was ordered to get a new suit, and we also decided to hire a motor, as my old reliable might not be so reliable. lol… Everything was in place, days off work booked and as such, we were ready to go pretty sharp on the friday morning.
I went at 8am to pick the hire car up from Enterprise, and it wasn't ready. -So before the grey clouds came in the Manager upgraded us FOC to a nice new Ford Galaxy 12 plate. All the mod cons, cruise control iPod connectivity bluetooth blah. So we were set for a nice comfy journey down.
So we set off just before 10am and headed for the border. M6, M5, M4, M3 and a pile of back roads, and thanks to my faith in Apples Maps app we arrived at our hotel just after 5pm. A nice journey down with no major hold ups.
We dumped the bags, freshened up and went to explore Farnham - A very English tradition town, if its a town. Bloody big and the traffic. OMG. LOL. Obv we found a pub then another then a few more. We 'researched' our surroundings in the Queens Head and as usual I growled at the bar maid looking at my Scottish money like something from eastern europe. We knew we had a busy day Sat, as it was an early wedding so we headed for dinner at a brilliant small italian called Caffe Piccolo - Great service and value and defo a great venue. We explored another couple of pubs before heading back to our hotel, and an early night.

Our Hotel- Mercure Bush Farnham[/caption]The wedding was at Cain Manor, some 8 miles from where we were staying and was due to kick off around 1230pm. -So suited and booted we sorted a taxi and headed to the venue. Bumped into Maryann's Uncle Tam and Aunt Franny and settled into what was to be a fantastic day ………

Tam and Franny hidding[/caption]After the ceremony we headed out into the garden as the wedding photos were being taken… a few glasses of bubbly and caught up with some of MA's relations. Later we had the meal and plenty o free booze kicking abbot lol.. Fantastic beautiful meal, 1 of the best I've sampled at a wedding in many a year.
The wedding was all contained in the same place, so we retreated to the garden again as the evening reception was set up. A brilliant swing band was the order of the evening and lets just say every1 had fun. I made an erse of myself falling off a chair but apart from that not too bad lol….
By this time to say we were both very merry, was an understatement. but we sorted a taxi and went back to Farnham, after what had been a fantastic beautiful day. The warmest of congratulations to Kathryn and Justin, and thanks for letting us be part of your special day.
We went back into Farnham for 1 last drink, but as I was coming down the stairs from the loo in a pub I slipped and took a header down the stairs and hurt my back. That was our queue to go home. - LOL
Woke up at 8am on sunday morning still wearing my suit with my trousers around my ankles. tut tut. hungover a bit. - Notably we missed breakfast and later decided that obi I was not in any fit state to drive so we waited until well into the afternoon before we even thought of going hoe. After a well deserved McD's and a squirrel watching me scoff my lunch we decided to start the long journey home…… 8 hours later we were back and an early night was had.
End to a fantastic weekend and 1 of the best weddings Ive been to in a long time !.
