Here comes the rain, and the bride!
Some people say “watch out for the seven year itch”, well for Mars and I, September 2009 was the start of our seventh year together and we decided that 09.09.09 was the perfect day to finally seal the deal and get married. After a rather rainy and cloudy night the wedding came and thankfully so did the sunshine, but only after the clouds had spent all morning threatening me with a wet wedding! So, up to the challenge I decided to go with the flow (silently freaking out) and work with what Mother Nature was going to throw at us. First thing, I got the groomsmen into action and sent them on “Mission Paddington” for Wellington boots in enough sizes to fit everyone. If I was going to slush through muddy waters to my own wedding, then I sure as hell wasn’t doing it in white satin heels. So off the boys went in a bemused daze (wondering what exactly the bride was thinking getting married in wellies). The hotel, (Kurland Hotel, located in The Craggs, Plettenberg Bay, South Africa) ran around frantically grabbing all their racing green umbrellas (green to match wellies, a bride is always colour co-ordinated) and ensured they were all neatly stacked by the door and ready to be thrown into action at the first drop of rain.
