How was your 2009?  And what do you have planned for 2010?

Leg of Lamb

I was most impressed by the way the Manor staff brought out everyone’s main course at once. I’m not sure what size oven they’ve got, but they managed to produce 65-ish sizable legs of lamb all at the same time.

The food was the main reason we chose this place. We wanted to make sure people were well fed, as it’s so common to find yourself with a cheesey canapé trying to last you for the whole day.

The main wedding meal is called the Wedding Breakfast. This is ridiculous. (more…)

This post is a follow-up to All About ME.

I have been planning to write another post, about what it’s like on a day-to-day basis without any episodes, but 2 weeks ago or so, I felt tired again.
It’s got worse, and I’m now off work (something I really try hard to avoid). I’d write something about how it feels, but I’m knackered, my hands are shaking, I can’t concentrate.
Going to see the doctor at 8.45am tomorrow.
Currently drifting about the house, wanting to do useful things, but completely incapable. Arg.

I’ll try and mentally write a good post about it ready for when I can type it up.

The Reception

So we got back in our car, and started driving towards the Manor. We were married, cruising in the back of a Bentley, and we knew everyone would be waiting for us with a glass of champagne. It was a great feeling. (more…)

On June 12th last year, nearly 18 months after we first met on the tube, I asked Agnieszka to marry me. During a private dinner for two on a beach in Mexico, I asked the waiter to give us 10 minutes, dropped to one knee and dug out the ring I’d been hiding away with me since I’d popped into Tiffany’s on my 30th birthday three weeks beforehand. She said yes almost before I’d finished the question.

It took two weeks after our return to London for a brochure to land on our doormat. Agnieszka had been to Bradenham Manor before, and two things quickly became clear: that this would be our perfect reception venue, and secondly, that this would not be the longest engagement.
The most complicated arrangement turned out to be the church. (more…)
