Wedding Season 2008: Part I

Du Season over, let the wedding season begin. I've written this as part one as I'm sure there's bound to be a sequel.

Weddings are an endurance sport. With seven wedding invites this year, going down the aisle is clearly a marathon and not a sprint.
Carbohydrate drinks are out the window. Alcohol is the new drink of choice but re-hydration also plays a vital role.
We're already three weddings in. By the end of May we'll have attended 4 weddings in 2008 and three alone in the month of May.

As for wedding invites.......
After sitting by the wedding cake at a wedding (cake consisted of numerous "cup cakes" - We called'em buns in my day) the bride wanders over with a tray of "cup cakes" and informs me that "I've noticed that you've been eyeing them up all day. Do you fancy one". That's what I call a wedding invitation. The buns were very good too.

The following day Mrs H dragged me out onto the bike for a few miles. If you were riding the Etape du Dales, I was the bloke riding towards you unable to plot a steady course emitting odours of last nights beer. I've never been drunk in charge of a bicycle before although I think maybe the bike was in charge.
