Love scotmum's very Highland-inspired outfit, are you sure no haggises were slaughtered in the making of those boots?
Calm down, Igor, have another turnip brandy, and go easy on the chillis.
The Booger Off photographers are arguing with the ones from Ferret Fancier magazine (slogan - we match you with the ferret of your dreams) about the shots of Tatty in her corset - Down! Igor! You know you are not supposed to see the bride before the ceremony! Go and listen to the Good Ole Boys warming up, it will soon by time for lunch and there will be two servings, the bride's party upstairs and groom's mob in the kitchen. I shall, of course, attend both lunches to make sure everything is in order.
Two meals....talk about brave...foolhardy...
marmite is a picture of loveliness as she sweeps majestically into the room,a vision in ...all over lime green.
Yes (jack)boots,gloves,dinky hat,dress,ankle socks.The works.
The vision crumples as hoots of laughter echo around the room.She reaches into the cavernous depths of her bag and grasps despairingly at a large bottle of gin...
Meanwhile scotmum sips daintily on a cup of tea,looking very elegant in a haggis themed ensemble,She has a happy smile on her face and is oblivious to a mass of flies buzzing around.
Hubert is looking a tad uncomfortable.Too much cake and last night's mega-binge of deep fried cabbage leaves and pickled eggs mean that his girdle is threatening to burst open.His eyes water at the effort it takes to hold in a big 'bottom burp',and disaster is not far away as Nargle,looking very fetching in a large purple polka dot dress tells a joke which has everyone in stitches.
Hubert desperately tries to keep his composure.
Cheffie is in the kitchen,chatting to the lads from 'Booger Off' magazine,and posing with his prize chain saw.They understand nothing of course,except for the odd 'bork',but keeping smiling and nodding.
Can Hubert hold it in?
Will disaster strike already?
Why is Igor gibbering and drooling in the corner?
Will the voles behave?
So many questions....0 -

At least the weather is keeping fine for us all, and so far everything is going according to plan. knitwitch and marmite have done a splendid job with the flowers and the bunting, the little chapel in the grounds of Ennessdee Towers is packed with guests, Igor looks an absolute delight in his suit and the little corsage of thistle and garlic flowers, Chef looks the bees knees as best man - have you got the ring safe, Cheffie? Good chap! Ah, here come the bridesmaids in all their glory - Igor and Chef, you had better go inside, Tatty will be arriving soon, accompanied by her Uncle Boris.One life - your life - live it!0

Smile for the photographers, Hubert, and tell Helga to move in closer, we need a few good shots of all the bridesmaids. I must say Bertha has done a brilliant job on Helga' s beard, good idea that, spraying it with hair lacquer, keeps the voles quiet!One life - your life - live it!0

Before I forget, here is number 9 NSD come to play!One life - your life - live it!0

I really must get my watch fixed, it says quarter past but Tatty isn't here yet so obviously my watch is running fast.One life - your life - live it!0

Half past.
I know,my watch too.
Where is Tatty?
Have they got a flat tyre?
'Booger Off' can't wait to get a photo of the radiant bride blushing shyly in her exclusive silk and lace string vest wedding dress.0 -
Ok, Chef, just tell Igor Tatty' s held up in traffic ( although the distance from Ennessdee Towers to Ennessdee Towers gardens is only a matter of metres? ). Sounds like you need to get your watch fixed too, marmite.One life - your life - live it!0

I know,but (and it's a big but) there's no sign of her at the house.I've just nipped up there.
They must have gone the long way round via Newcastle and Stockholm.
marmite deftly slips Igor a couple of valium and a large slug of gin.0
