Our two fine friends Graham and Tracey were married at the weekend. they are a lovely couple and they deserve many happy years together. I'll post a photo when I download the lot I took at the wedding. We went up to York (thanks GNER for the two broken down trains), but trains - and grumpy hotel manager - aside, we did have a wonderful time. Many weddings feel like a production line process, but not theirs. Their friends are many, and wide-ranging, and the fact that lot of Christians were there helped since it was a church wedding after all. Funnily enough, our own wedding which also should have been a Fordist affair, being in Gretna Green, wasn't either - many people we know, independently, have mentioned that they were almost in tears during the ceremony.
Back in York though; the service was fab, the reception lunch was large and thoroughly enjoyable, and Lynn and I got to meet Mel for the first time, who I've been emailing on the cafe list for the past couple of years. Nice to put a face to the name, and she's nothing like I envisaged (far less 'northern' than I expected and quite well sorted out head-wise - I imagined a slightly flakier bod).
The stars of the show though, were G and T, who met on the very same list, and met up in person in March 2005 - apparently it was love at first sight, though seeing as they are both bacon rind, it was possibly love at first sniff. Tracey's quite ill and by 10pm was feeling rather bombed out. After they left the disco, we all blundered off home.
And the next day, we managed a quick ride to Acomb on the ftr tram-bus thingy which is rather like a glorified bendybus.
