Our hotel (in which we did the whole day) cocked things up mightily so
much so that
1) we got 50% of our money back
2) and a free weekend in the Brighton hotel that the IRA bombed
3) the hotel manager "left the hotel group"
Fortunately I got there early enough and was on my toes enough that Ly
was aware but not mortified. I told her "we only (hopefully) do this
once. So we're not going to let them spoil it for us"
Even the family were so well-behaved, they knew who's day it was.
Plus we all got to sing a Madness song in the ceremony, which is a
result all round.
G - so where's the blog girl?
