As it happened, Matt & Amy getting married unexpectedly on Saturday couldn’t have worked out better. There was a already a ‘wedding party’ planned that they beautifully crashed…
Katie & Tim got married last September in the UK and folks here were miffed not to have had a chance to celebrate their happy union with them. So a plan was hatched for a party. It was supposed to be on the weekend of Valentines Day – how romantic! – but that clashed with other social engagements planned for many of their mates. No point trying to compete, just pick another date – the following Saturday.
So as the champagne was wearing off from celebrating one wedding, we made our way over to Bigova to prepare to celebrate another… Steve & I got there early with our speakers & amp to help set up the sound system & to generally get the space and the happy couple in good shape for a night of fun. Furniture was moved, food was prepared and the beautiful bride was laced into her amazing wedding corset:
You can see from this second photo a bit of the back of the corset although I failed to take a really good shot of it. Jeez it was a bugger to do up but wasn’t it worth it? And doesn’t Tim look dashing in his Murray tartan kilt?
The theme (for everyone but the hosts, seemingly!) was: wigs, hats, tails or masks – or any combo of the above and most people really rose to the dressing up challenge. You can’t really make it out very well here but I made a tail and swung it all night:
And Katie & I had a lot of fun with it!
The prize for the funniest dancing goes jointly to Tony Browne & Paul Currion. When they donned those amazing pink wigs…
they transformed into extraordinary creatures. I took loads of shots of Tone & DJ Paul’s impromptu dance routine but they were moving so fast the pics were all blurry. But Matt has video proof of DJ Paul’s hilarious moves which we just about peed our pants watching…
It was a TOP night – great food (all veggie, all delicious, none of it helping an iota in my bid to trim & tone!); enough booze to drown in; great tunes and non-stop dancing… Not surprisingly the wigs did the rounds with everyone trying them on. This wig really suited Ann:
Not true of Richard, however:
Here’s Katie hoping that Laura the cat doesn’t give birth to her kitten quite yet!
Here’s some other hilarious pink wiggers:
Tim was the MOST funniest drunk. Hard to explain what a character he was that night but here’s a great shot of him in Roger Bathos’ Rasta Wig:
Here’s pics of the freshly married couple looking rather stranger & more dishevelled then a few hours earlier:
And Fiona gets the prize for keeping her masks on ALL night (here she is in the scarier of the 2) AND for being there at the bitter end, still doing Tequila shots with Katie at 4.00 am…
