wedding
Hi folks
Well, we've been to foradan's and meggy's wedding. And pretty darn good it was too. Pleasing civil ceremony; vast numbers of appetisers, wine etc; five courrse dinner; speeches; music and dancing; then a huge, and gloriously presented, buffet. I mean *really*. The apple swans floating in a red lake in a melon shell were just the start of it.
A vision of loveliness sat at the top table - meggy looked nice too ;-)
Best bit? Being restrained from eating a second custard tart! ;-)))
Hate almost everything to do with Portugese taxis, though. The taxi we had arranged for 10.30 came at 11.20, after repeated assurances that "He will be here in five minutes". GRRR! The one to the airport sort-of restored our faith in human nature, though; very cheery.
Got to go now, as the time is about to run out. More when we get home!
EDIT
Creatrix points out that the best bit of the day was dancing with her. I am, of course, happy to do this :-)

Glad you had a good time . . . take (m)any pictures?

We took shed-loads of pictures - I'll wager that we took more than anyone else who was using a film camera. As son as we've got them developed and put onto CDs, the best will be put up.

Yes, and Portuguese taxis can suck. We got ripped off by about 100% on the first trip, but some of the others were fine. The buses and trains were very inexpensive though.
