Phil and Jude McCallister

Monday, June 13, 2005 at 5:31 PM

What a lovely day Saturday was. Uni mates Phil and Jude got married and I was honoured to be there to witness the fantastic event.

They got married in a church, which was great as we got to have the fun (well, I was finding one lady's MENTALLY LOUD singing funny, at least) of singing hymns that gradually got harder and harder... and meant that I was about half a second behind everyone else for the first two verses most of the time.

The speeches were ace too, MarkT in particular doing a legendary job as best man, and the food were damned fine also.

I was DJing the evening party thang, which I think went ok (at least, I'd managed to get Martyn Rosser dancing to some cheesy 80s songs so that must be ok :-) ).

There's so much I could tell you about the event but frankly I'm so bloody tired right now I think I'm just going to go home and crash out. Perhaps a bullet point list of highlights?

Yeah, ok:

The lovely ceremony and specially written vows Phil and Jude did (tear to eye n everything)
The priest's genuinely amusing banter (and ranting about people not getting married in church enough)
The speeches in the hotel afterwards
Getting to the hotel in time for the speeches (despite forgetting I was supposed to be at them and only realising when Chan phoned me from the hotel as I sat down to a pint in a pub next to the church(!))
The first dance, with everyone holding a candle each to watch. Really lovely!
Russ H declaring that I "wouldn't want wax all over my equipment". Wax from candles on my CD decks. Clearly.
Markt, RTJ, StuC and a-guy-who's-name-I-forget dancing to such things as Peter Andre's "Mysterious Girl" in an effort to be crowned "Sex Machine"
Stu going topless to try to win
Stu winning and wearing a Sex Machine "Medallion" (CD with "Sex machine" written on in CD pen)
Lots of other stuff I've forgotten.

Congrats to the bride and groom!
