Tidbit 4 - Hectic with a Capital H!!!

Phew, last weekend it was all go (20th February) remember, I was to be bridesmaid for my best friend (because matron of honour sounded too old), well, all that took place last weekend, but it also coincided with Zak departing for Wellington and the start of Uni life, so this is how it went:
The bride and groom live in Wellington but got married in New Plymouth - Thursday they drove to New Plymouth to prepare for the wedding whilst DH and Zak drove to Wellington to settle in for Uni. Saturday they prepared to be married whilst DH flew to New Plymouth for the wedding, Sunday DH and I flew to Wellington to catch up with Zak and Monday drove back to Hawera!!!

The wedding was not without it's hiccups - none of them MY doing amazingly
1. Went to pick up suits but the jacket and pants were in different shades of black!!!
2. Went to pick up tablecloths but they had tables and chairs ready for us instead???
3. Rang to get the key for hall to be told another wedding was taking place and we couldn't set up until day of BF's wedding!!!
4. Due to strong winds, Sandstorm on beach so had to move venue to park, we circled the venue whilst guests were moved!
5. Sound system arrived, microphones had flat batteries!!!

The wedding itself was perfect (surprisingly...although nothing else could've gone wrong). Didn't think about it till after but didn't take a single photo!

Tidbit 1 - Words of Wisdom

When you are the last to head towards your holiday spot and you get a text asking to bring some pegs with you, DO NOT be offended when on arrival at camp everyone looks at you oddly as you gallantly hand over two packs of pegs to hang out the clothes......whilst in the background the tent guide ropes blow freely in the breeze.

That's right there is more than one type of peg required on a camping holiday and I still say that the text should have been more specific!!!

NB We were never short of pegs for our clothes!!!
