We left our brave heroes battling through mountains of food. We battled bravely and continued to fight the good fight. I think it was especially hard for the curate and I as they gave the two of us around the same amount as they would for 10 people. I for some reason was the unfillable stomach and just kept eating. I did realise I was yet to eat dessert. Dessert on this occassion was a berry cheesecake. I often see it in the canteen on the free cake tray. For some strange reason, possibly the fact we eat it often it gets left behind. It can't compete with the other goodies on the tray. But I still can't get enough of it. After Dessert we had speeches.
I had been informed that I was to play the role of M.C at approx 5.30pm. With the help of the Curate I think I did so with the required aplomb. After the kind but slightly drunken words of the heads brides maid lady. It was the time for the big show. It was the Curates speech. He had the audience at Laides and Gentlemen, they were already laughing. He then went into a systematic destruction of the Police State's character and then finished with some very kind and heartfelt words. It was one of the most amazing wedding speeches I have heard.
We then got to cutting of the cake. The cake was in the form of a croquenbouche. Some of the guests thought I was saying something a little ribald. I was not I was merely describing the traditional french wedding cake before things got all primary school with people giggling. One of the agreements during the event building process was that I was to take home all left over croquenbouche. Little was I to know that infact I was to take the entire thing home. They were serving pre done platters which were out the back. They intended to give me the full uncut version on display. There was no way I could ever consume that much or lift it back to the Faulty Towers Towers.
So we grabbed some containers and dished it up. It was a awful sticky mess let me just tell you.
After it was all over I walked the Lovely One to her car. I crashed back at the hotel to my real bed as compared to the trundle from the night before. I had a debriefing session with the curate and then slept through the night. I then awoke and went straight to the House of Chops for a 5 day run.
Till Next Time Try and Avoid a Sticky Mess,
