Last weekend...
...not my most expensive weekend ever, but a fair bit of wedge to wish a couple well.

Their wedding was in central London, so that meant train fares (I live quite a long way away) plus central hotel, plus gift (cash as requested - no wedding list) - it all adds up a bit.

Well worth it though as they're a nice couple - and I took the opportunity to remind the bride (while buying her a drink at the bar) that the first time I'd seen them together I'd been so certain they were right for each other I'd bet them a tenner they'd be engaged within 6 months.

"But it took us longer than that to get engaged - so you owe us a tenner!" she said.

This was technically true. So to add insult to injury ten pounds comes out of my rapidly emptying wallet to be tucked inside the bridal bra.

Ho hum. I'll keep my big mouth shut next time!
