I was very excited about going to bed on Friday night so that I could wake up and eat bread rolls for breakfast.
I got 6 for $2.
Vicky was pretty chuffed, too.

the list
Hello, dear friends.
I know it has been a long time in-between blogs but I have been waiting for nice copies of the wedding "run-sheets" (is there a more romantic word for those?) from the celebrant. You know what I mean: nicely decorated lists of what's to happen when at the ceremony, including the vows, the speeches and the escape clauses. These are yet to arrive, four weeks later, but this is probably fair enough. There was something of a shemozzle and something of a mix-up on the day, which has necessitated the creation of new, accurate records of the event.
If you weren't there, I'll probably cover the clustermuck-up when I post the schedules. If you were there and you didn't notice - awesome.
Anyhow, I wanted to post these so that you all could re-live the magic, or experience it for the first time if you couldn't make it. As they remain unavailable at this time, here is a list of the songs from the wedding instead.
Guests arrived at the ceremony to the sounds of Fleet Foxes' Fleet Foxes.
Vicky walked down the aisle to Waterloo Sunset by the Kinks.
As we signed our marriage contracts, we played i like the way this is going by the eels and I Will by The Beatles and Heart goes Pitter Patter by Simone and Girlfunkle.
Our recessional was Living in Colour by Frightened Rabbit.
Guests arrived at the reception venue (I hope - I wasn't there to check) to Impossible Soul by Sufjan Stevens.
