06.06.06 Wedding!
So, on the 6th of June Rose and I got married, sealing a 7 and a half year relationship with nuptials. The day was first class, the sun was out, the venue at Baslow Hall was absolutely stunning and the food and drink to die for. Four Americans made the journey over for us, thanks Vic and Milagros, Debbie and Pam - and 31 other Brits including family and close friends. Several points worthy of immediate note;
- I had three best men dressed in black
- Rose had three bridesmaids again in black
- Six Tiffany boxes were given out, silver cufflinks for the men, silver pendants for the ladies
- The favors were miniature Bombay Sapphire bottles with instructions on how to make the perfect GnT
- We had a tower of white cupcakes for our Wedding Cake (how American!)
- Rose looked absolutely phenomenal
- She and her bridesmaids entered to the opening to the Verve's Bittersweet Symphony and Barry White and Frank Sinatra celebrated sealing the deal with a kiss and played us out, respectively
- The speeches involved a lecture from my younger brother and a 'how well do you know Neil' Quiz from my two best friends as well as words from the bride and groom
- A compromising picture involving the groom and Basil Brush was circulated
Pictures up shortly but not of the aforementioned.

Hey Neil,
Sending a Congrats from down in the Big Easy. The marketing classes at Tulane seem easy in comparison to your marketing course.
