well. Friends. if you really feel You MUST get Hansfasted, this is the way to go. with Family and friends and lots of singing, a First Classs band (Cara) and some of the Very best UK Mudcat singers, then all you need is a good pub that serves very good real ale (and Cider) and take it from there, I have No idea what pictures are going to appear, as I was just a bit busy today, but leaving that aside, I couldnt have planned what happened, and it would not have been as good if I had, I am so grateful to all the Mudcatters who were present and contributed to this amazing, memorable ocassion, we both thank you all who attended, and who wished us well from other places, we have shared a unique expierience, and it was and will for ever be, enriched by your friendship and presence, The feeling of being cared for by ones friend is special

EmmaB and I got there too late for the ceremony , having been on a narrow boat 200 miles away at nine in the morning ! At least we got there before ALL the food was eaten , and all the beer drunk ! I will add my vote of approval for Cara as a VERY AVERAGE band -( PM me if that confuses you !) And a good time was definately had by all !!

What a great day! I met even MORE Mudcatters..and all as lovely as the rest. The ceremony was wonderful, the clothes were fantastic (and I really MUST get to Campden Market!!). Sorry Morti, while Idris's bum in the leather trousers was a sight to behold, I'm afraid he'll have to concede defeat...Raedwulf is definitely Mudcat Male best bum! I got to sing with a group of females the song we sang at Miskin, which was totally different with the different group...I sang another song with Rock Chick which worked quite well and which we may repeat next weekend, Cara sounded brilliant as usual. The food was great, the cider was lovely, lots of hugs and cuddles (from both males and females). A generally enjoyable day, ending with eating pizza and ice-cream in Walthamstow at midnight. Thanks to Lady Penelope and Parker for putting us up and giving us an enormous breakfast this morning. Epn says his pic

Just back from the pub where most of us were on soft drinks...apart from Micca, Manitas and Pixieofdoom....they're 'ard you know!!!

It was an absolutely wonderful day and I am so honored to know you all.

When we were cutting the cake Everyone stood sang for us...what a wonderful sight and sound. After that Micca sang The Way You Look Tonight to me....it was beautiful and there was not a dry eye in the room!!

Thank you to CARA for travelling down from oop north to play for everyone...they are brilliant. If you haven't heard them they are a must!!

The singing was great as were the outfits!

A big Thank You to Limpit you who was my bridesmaid and hand maiden. She looked like a Princess and did an outstanding job!!

Another Big Thank You to Mrs Duck for making the very alcoholic cake!!! It was gorgeous.

We didn't manage to take any pictures but I am sure some others will post theirs soon...there were alot of camera's flashing!

Thank you to all that came to celebrate and thank you for the many gifts. I was hoping to write to everyone personally to say thank you but there were just so many of you there I don't know where to start!

Hope to see some of you at The Yorkshire Gathering next weekend.

Love

But Khatt...who made the chocolate cake?? I NEED the recipe! It was the best chocolate cake I've ever had in my whole life. I even ate the sad lump left after a certain duckling had eaten the icing off and put the cake back on the plate!

The chocolate cake was made by a lady in York who does it as a hobby. It was the top layer of the cake we had at the legal wedding in Yorkshire the week before. Glad you liked it.

I have to confess to a very senior moment, when I should have sung "since you've proved false I'll prove the same" just before the cake was cut, but I skipped to the next verse. I did sing the missing verse afterwards, under my breath though.

Thanks, Micca and Khatt, for a great do - and PoD was a wonderful best man!

Well, I had a great time, and I say this with two fingers held up to British Rail and all its minions who seem determined to make life miserable for anyone wanting to travel to, from or within London.

My mind's a-whirl with all the faces I now have to fit to Mudcat faces!

And once again, mega-felicitations to the Happy Couple!

p.s. I didn't see no chocolate cake! (But the fruit cake was superb; good thing it didn't manage to escape. Had enough combustables in it to do 0 to 60 in 10 seconds!)

GUEST.....How is Liz going to get the recipe for the chocolate wedding cake as it was me who asked the lady in York to make it for me??.......

Sian....the chocolate cake was next to the fruit cake on the right and got 'demolished' as quick as the fruit cake did!!

Im glad you have all got home safely and look forward to hearing your stories from the weekend!!

I'm with Sinsull in getting all teary at the mere thought of Micca singing "The Way You Look Tonight" to khatt.   gulp....sigh......

Can't wait to see you two in October, and once again, heartiest congratulations!! I'm going to put my new CARA CD on right now!!

Some thoughts from the weekend, now I can actually think again.....the bride, wasn't she lovely? And even the little fat uncle looked dashing...in fact everyone looked fantastic. The ceremony was wonderful and added to by the humour and jollity that no-one minds in pagan ceremonies. The singing of The Way You Look Tonight had me more than a little teary and then the wonderful Best Man's speech finished me off completely. I know she's my daughter, so perhaps I shouldn't say so, but my god, Pixie is funny and Micca's face when a long line of women 'gave back the keys to his flat' including one pregnant lady and several men......hysterical.

Cara were absolutely superb,the rest of the singers and musicians were too....and it was so wonderful to spend time with so many of our friends and family......thanks everyone. I won't make next weekend but I have lots of warm memories to see me through.

Hello? Can you keep the noise down? There was a reason I didn't make it to the 'survivors' session - it's 'cos I didn't...............

It was a very lovely do. The ceremony literally had me laughing and crying. Pixie was fab (the keys were a stroke of genius - she's a wonderfully warped person.....) It must be true love, as far as I know Micca has never sung romantic songs to anyone! It was definitely a 9/10 hanky moment.

Every one was just so brilliant. Singing "all around my spirit" with MBSLynne, Herga Kitty and the rest of the gals was just the bestest.

Idris' "Theopolis P Wildebeast' impersonation is going to stay with me for a while, all that kept running through my head was "well, it'll give Morty somewhere to rest her tankard".

I was stunned to find that the Black lion had a beer garden, never mind one that nice or large! I'll keep it in mind for future hangovers......

Oh, and Parker managed to get some fabulous piccies whic he's going to pass onto Micca & Cat.

Right, that's quite tired me out........ nurse, can I have some weak ribena please?
