In Ogmore by sea, on the day of Lisa and Andrew's wedding we awoke to fine drizzle falling from the skies. First stop was the bungalow where the bridesmaids,"The Famous Flampettes" spent the night and prepared for the big day.
And what a day it turned out to be, I was honoured to walk my Goddaughter, Lisa, down the aisle in South Wales as she married Andrew. Lisa looked absolutely stunning and Andrew looked very handsome .
As the bride and groom stood in front of the preacher, a drag queen ran down the aisle screaming the song, “It should have been me" and thumping poor Andrew with her handbag, the congregation were in hysterics and that set the tone for the day, no formality, just a wonderful relaxed atmosphere.
After a wonderful meal we had some great speeches but I think Lisa stole the show with her's which was heart felt and in places very funny.
Andrew then stood up and said that he wasn't a fan of public speaking and that he had two friends who would speak for him.
Well these two guys had written a song ("You want to make me Live") just for the wedding and they were so professional, the marquee filled with the backing music and these guys nailed the song.....and as they say “the crowd went wild". Then Gavin kept the tempo going with a singalong with the guests.
We then went outside for some photos with the stunning coastline as a backdrop and we all waved and cheered a a drone made several overhead passes of the guests.
Then the evening guests started to arrived and took the chance to use out own private bouncy castle with the “Cool kids", Jude and Cari.
We then went into one of the bars where"Big Mac's wholly Soul band", a live 12 piece band played a couple of superb sets and the guests danced the night away as fish and chips were served. All too soon it was time to make our way home after a truly memorable day.
