A Quiet Sunday

What a party it was last night at Caroline's & Iggy's wedding! I am so pleased for them... I haven't seen Iggy this happy for a long long time. And the baby's a boy!! They announced it to everyone at the dinner last night... even the couple didn't know what gender it was but the gynae had sent them a card that very afternoon and Best Man Adrian W got to do the honours of making the announcement. I think there wasn't a dry eye in the restaurant then :-) That's them after the announcement... sniff...

The restaurant is great... the staff are great, especially Gaz the CEO and Christine the coordinator.

I haven't drunk so much in a long time - 1 glass of beer (Tiger naturally), 2 glasses of champagne (Moet et Chandon & Verve Clicquot) and 3 glasses of white wine (Crossings). The wine was fantastic. We brought 5 bots of champagne, 15 bots of red, 15 bots of white and 4 bots of Maccallan single malt. Plus we had a 20ltr keg of beer too. We were left with 5 bots of white and half a bot of single malt. Jolly good for a small party of 70 people :-)

It's probably the best wedding party I'd ever been to. The JP was really nice and it was wonderful he managed to join us for dinner. He told us he is friends with the owners of the Orchid Garden and that he had mooted the idea of turning that private garden into a public attraction and was the one who suggested having a fine dining restaurant there. Well, good for him! hahaha... 76 yrs old and still going strong... he goes to the gym 3 times a week would you believe... and I think he's got such a lovely job marrying people - always seeing happy faces and being invited to dinners hahaha...

ooohh... it's 1pm now - I think I'll go have a class of that lovely white. I took 2 bots from Iggy last night. That's a perk of being carrier of the prezzies and wines :-)

I'll bathe the dogs after I've had that wine.
That's the wedding cake. I picked it and there's a story to that too and maybe I'll tell it another day ;-) Oh, by the way, it was delicious :P
