12/10/16 - The Wedding Pt.1

Just over 3 months now. It’s gone ridiculously quickly and like every year, Summer seems to come and go as quickly as I start to bring out the shorts and Toms. Not an issue for me to be honest though, always been more of a Spring/Fall type, much more suited dresser for these seasons as I tend to sweat like hell or freeze to death otherwise.

Appropriately timing then that after settling in, I’d be returning home for 11 days for my Best Mate’s wedding. Time to return home and whilst I was looking forward to it, sometimes when people are out of sight, they can also be out of mind. Honesty? I just couldn’t wait to hug my niece, eat mum’s cooking and enjoy the freedom of driving again.

Now, I’ve known Harmeet now for 11 years. Just over in fact and he’s constantly spoken of marriage for as long as I can remember. I spose’ it completes him, after all, he’s pretty much ticked off the rest of the checklist. Although we’re stilling waiting for that M4...

So when he announced the engagement last year, we all waited for what was predicted, as the wedding of the “century”. In other words, an excuse for the stag do (see my Miami blog) and a p*ss up for the Lads. After all, we’re not so much friends now as Brothers. Brothers that encourage drinking from shoes :)

We landed on the Thurs the weekend before and as the following week was to be dominated by the wedding, I made sure we saw the family as much as we could. How much I missed this guy too, my nephew is now around 7 months now and whilst he might not remember me as much as his sister, it amazed me how much more of a little lad he’s become since I last saw him. (Shame about the choice of football team on the bib though!) - the names Lincoln.

Mon meant a visit to the City and Tues was a reunion as I picked up my parents from the airport. In fact, my “holiday” actually included two pick up runs and when coupled with the jet lagged, my sleeping schedule got screwed. But we power on of course, no complaints.

And so to Wed, where Mabel and I were invited to the house for the Mehdni, which is essentially the “ladies night”. Whilst the women sang, danced and got their henna’s, the men essentially just drank. Credit must go to Groom for the choice of food (across all the events!), the meat always goes a long way and never disappointed.

I couldn’t drink that night as I was driving but it was a pleasure to meet the family and friends before the wedding. Some were more worst for wear than others but hey, sometimes you have too, right? 

So pt 1 of 3 done, Pre-wedding Party on the Thurs and then the Wedding on the Sat. If this appetiser was a sign of the times to come, this might just be the wedding of the “century” (not my words, not sure who, but some say).

But I’ll be honest, I was looking forward to seeing the boys again since the stag. The wedding is important, but correct me if I’m wrong that all the guys are thinking the same thing. After all, as we start to get shot down one-by-one into a life of commitment, you never know who’s going to be next. It just so happens that out of my close friends, Harmeet was first. Odd’s on favourite, so it’s no surprise but man, it didn’t feel like just talk anymore. Come Sat, it’ll all be said and done and we’ll welcome Jas into the circle with open arms. But until then, there was a lot of booze to go through. Bring on Thurs, let the drunken kisses begin.

Will’s
