Suprise Wedding, inevitable nudity
T'other week, my brother threw a huge birthday bash, on a melon-farming boat! in the middle of the Thames, in London. Then he and his fiancee tied the knot in the middle of the boat. To gasps, giggles and tears (from me, but I cried at Wall E fer fecks sake) it was lovely all round.

The party adjourned to a local football club where there was much dancing, singing and drinking to the sounds of a steel band, still all totally lovely. Then I spotted a sinister turn. A friend of my brothers appeared to be walking across the pitch, counting strides to himself, into the gathering darkness. At the time I thought no more of it, and went back indoors for more cakes and ale.

Then I noticed that a lot of the men there present, weren't present any more, they appeared to have gone outside the clubhouse "How odd?" I thought to myself at the same time as my pearl bracelet decided to break, sending a blizzard of beads bouncing to the ground.

It's very difficult to pick up beads when you're trying to see out of a window into the gloamin, so this task took ages, even with the help of my brother's new in laws, but I finally managed to shove the majority into my handbag and exited the clubhouse..

Outside on the veranda, a crowd of revelers had gathered, cameras poised looking onto the dark footy pitch... then, one by one... smallish, pale shapes seemed to distinguish themselves, until at least a dozen or so naked male humans, of varying stages of fitness hoved into view...

A voice at my side, belonging to the groom's best mate's Mum said "You must be very proud!" Just at the point when I recognised Sparklet Minor (aged 19) taking part in his first Grown up Streak...

It's not often I'm stuck for words...
