The Wedding Eve



However, Walter rallies and returns to the fray -




  1. Ho ho, and wow, what an event! Best wishes to the bride and groom and their families!

  2. Congratulations and enjoy the day, old bean.

    If not a baffling Beckettian anecdote for your speech, then how about a very, very long and impenetrable poem? Perhaps one of Geoffrey Hill's epics, or better still, something of your own composition.

  3. I bet your son is dreading the possibility you might decide to spout forth, Nige. My heart sank when Daddy got to his feet and offered up the immortal lines:

    Dear Sophie got married in June.
    It wasn't a moment too soon.
    We'd waited for years
    With increasing fears
    She'd end up a wrinkled old prune.

    I hope you all have a fabulous, bibulous day.

  4. Hoho I'll save that one for the daughter's wedding!

  5. Best wishes to the happy couple and their families! Best of luck with the speech particularly if it comes late in the festivities.

  6. Here's wishing the bride and groom a long and happy marriage, and plenty bambino.
    Or grandchildren as you will have to call them.

  7. Congratulations to all, Nige.

  8. Looks like it will be a lovely day. Best wishes to all.

  9. You'd better NOT say the bride has an "anagram of a pretty face"! Just say she's beautiful, your son is lucky, and quaff your bubbly.

    Happy, happy day to you Nige. You're not losing a son, you're gaining a daughter!

  10. Just stumbled by here while looking for wedding blogs hope you day went well
