The wedding went off without a hitch, however the previous night was slightly more disasterous. I shall cut a long story short(er)...
Our plan to go out for dinner that evening did not work out as planned so we paid a visit to McDonalds at 11pm where we promptly locked the keys in the car. After recruiting the assistance of -
(a) the McDonalds staff, who were unable to give us a coathanger as it was McD's policy that no metal coathangers were allowed (one wonders why)
(b) two orderlies from Frankston Hospital who had just knocked off and looked as if they had been indulging in some morphine while they were on shift,
(c) Jude's father (who happens to be a bishop),
(d) the Night Owl attendee (who offered us a plastic spoon and a pair of nail scissors as tools to break in to the car),
(e) five young Turkish men who were increasing their testosterone levels by helping some stranded pregnant maidens (technically one matron and a maiden),
(f) and a lovely young man had just been ejected from a local nightclub and was off his chops but had decided to drown his sorrows at the McDonalds drive-thru -
we decided that smashing a window was the only option. You would think this task would be simple, however it took some time for Jude's sister to complete the task. We fell on our pillows after 2 a.m. Phew. And to top it all off Jude's delightful youngest child decided that 550 a.m. was an appropriate time to wake up for the day! AAAHHH!!! Nevertheless the lovely Jude made it down the aisle and looked amazing. Congratulations guys.
That had me in hysterics but I need to know did you actually have to smash the window?
ReplyDeleteYep, the window was smashed. It is not as easy as it looks in the movies! Jude's sister tried for aaagggeess and the wheel nut remover she was using just kept bouncing off. She eventually prised it open and it slowly shattered. It was a lot less dramatic than we had expected!
