Other appropriate titles for this could be ‘How much was that pint?’ or ‘My cheeks hurt!’, or a million other options referencing Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, or something about awesome silver flares…
My oldest friend Liz is getting married later this month! They’re jetting off to Vegas to do it, so unfortunately I can’t be there (*sad face*). But we decided to send her off with style by heading up to Edinburgh for her ‘hen’ do (in an apparently controversial twist, boys were allowed). Of course, no trip goes without a hitch, and I decided to provide this straight away by forgetting to pick my bag up when we got off the train in Edinburgh. Gladly, the train’s final destination was Glasgow, so it was only a 3(!) hour round trip to go rescue it…
Having missed the first night, due to an 'accidently drinking a bottle of wine on an empty stomach’ mishap, I don’t know first-hand, but I am assured that an awesome night was had by the others. I provided a little entertainment by falling over (my knee is still pretty sore and scabby 10 days later, which is a little worrying!) in pretty spectacular fashion…
Saturday found us being joined by Liz’s family, and sloping round Edinburgh having a nice lunch and indulging in some absolutely hilarious shopping for outfits for the Vegas themed evening… Cue Elvis, Marilyn, 70s flares and ‘untrue’ eyelashes. The effort put into the costumes was awesome, the comments on the street were plentiful, the shapes pulled were pretty spectacular, and the photo taking was immense! So many random people have photos of the guys in their costumes on their cameras. So much dancing fun…
… followed by supreme hangover day. Bahahaha.
Hat-tip to Liz and Stephen for their Vegas wedding, a huge thanks to everyone for allowing me and Louise to boss them around and making it great! Bring on the post-wedding party!
