Weddings

As I said earlier, I have been a bit quiet during the weekend as I have been to a wedding (involving going down on late Friday and leaving first thing Sunday), where I was one of the two Ushers. Never been an Usher before and there is a lot more work to it than you realise, such as knowing where everyone roughly is throughout the day for things like photographs etc.. (which is interesting when you don't know everyone) and here is me thinking it just involved standing at the doorway and directing people where to sit for the ceremony.
But it was all great fun and one of the best weddings I have been to, and I got a bottle of whiskey and a tie out of it as well :).
One minor surprise however was when my fellow Usher and I "Trashed the car" with confetti, balloons, party strings and a"Congratulations" banner. One of the brides friends heard what had been done and wanted to see the result. I was then asked if my name was Paul and did I have a blog called "Mars Hill" as she found out through looking at my friend Aidan's blog (Aidan being the groom). Still a bit strange, if pleasant, being recognised though! I think she found it a bit too political though and that charge has been laid at my feet before. So I will say now that I am hoping to change some of that by mentioning more diverse things
So now it's Sunday and I am now safetly back home, albeit after train journeys involving delays, bus services and the usual stresses that almost boil one's blood. So on this note, after checking emails, my Facebook account, and blog I shall now go in for a few hours of being lazy in front of the telly.
