Weddings and marriage
God what a weekend. Got to Leeds as planned on Friday. Girl troubles meant I was all ouchies and grumpy. Horatio drove us to Manchester, got in some quality us time. Had brief drinks with his Dad [Chris] and soon-to-be-step-Mum [Lynne] to discuss few details for wedding on Saturday. We went off and got me a pizza and set me up with the last three episodes of Veronica Mars and he went off to his Mum’s birthday dinner.
Wedding was in the afternoon, gorgeous room and I became the videographer by default. I can only hope it turned out okay. I think I was probably one of the better choices since I didn’t have a specific tie to the couple as such. Just supporting Horatio. This was by far the most entertaining wedding I’ve been to, when asked if any of us knew any reason they couldn’t be joined, Lynne’s Mum piped up that we daren’t say anything. Was really sweet though and they both looked very happy.
One fun thing though was when Horatio and I met Lynne’s Mum I got to say that I was Horatio’s girlfriend. I don’t get to do that very often.
There was very nice dinner after the wedding and a party after that and everyone had such a fun time. I missed out on my two chances for a dance with Horatio sadly. First time it was because I was filming their first dance as a married couple and second time because no one else was dancing and I couldn’t stomach going up on the floor in front of everyone by ourselves. Horatio is very sweet though, he’s said he’ll dance with me at home soon.
Awkward moment when someone asked when Horatio and I were going to get married. We sort of laughed it off, but later I thought the proper response should have been ‘as soon as possible’. Right now, because I’m already married, it is impossible. So if it ever becomes possible, we’ll be there.
I was also thinking of when Weasel and I got married. How sad I was that no one was there to see me get married. We only had ten people there and all of them were Weasel’s friends and family. How we could barely afford the legal side of things. The contrast was too much to process. I also realised I’d never have a huge wedding, I simply don’t know enough people.
Very tired, very grumpy, going to bed.
