The Wedding
Murder on the dance floor
The wedding of Duncan and Mel was a truely great day. It started with the goomsmen all getting together with Duncan and then after a bit of last minute suit alteration and me stealing the ring that Ben was supposed to be looking after we headed onto the venue.
The ceremony itself was a pretty short afair but was memorable for the obvious reasons (the commitment that Mel and Dunc made) but also for Ben dropping the ring when handing to the celebrant, whose the best man now?
The ceremony was then followed by a dinner with "The Price is RIght" style presentation of the Bridal party. After making myself look like a complete idiot by stiking a pose when my name was called out we had a lovely meal.
We then proceded to the speech and after bumbling through my opening lines (I had the speech planned out about who to thank and then the speaking order changed and so I was thanking people for speeches they hadn't made yet) I thought I did an ok job. Ben, Denise (Mel's Maid of Honour) and Mel's Aunt all gave great speeches.
It was then time to hit the dance floor and fortunately there was enough time left in the evening for me to make myself look like a complete idiot a few more times with some dance moves that were particularly suspect.
A wonderful day that we will always remember and I would like to wish Mr. and Mrs. Proust a very happy married life!
