Cha Cha Cha

thewife dances with my spritely 82 year old uncle

Completely missed out on all the g8 stuff as we were at my cousin's daughter's wedding yesterday. Fabulous time was had by all. On arriving at the church, who should be the first peops we see but very good friends from Wales. Turns out the groom was the son of the brother of the O'Reillys, so most pleased to be able to spend some time and catch up with them and also with loads of relatives I hadn't seen in ages. Marvellous spread and copious amounts of alcohol and entertainment in the form of a one man high class Karaoke act without the tv set but oozing style and panache. He did splendid covers of the subject of Reidksi's post here, as well as Tony Bennet and Nat King Cole. So cool was he that even thewife and I had to dance to a some of his numbers. thewife complimented him at the end of the evening and suggested that the only thing missing from his act was a loosened bow-tie. He replied that there was an idea so maybe next time. My uncle James did what he did at our own wedding and danced the night away having enjoyed a few beers. Bloody amazing considering he's 82 and I reckon if I can do half of what he does at that age I'd consider my self blessed. Only 2 complaints about the whole day, 1) the price of the beer in the place was wicked and 2) on the way there, the bloody road into where the wedding was being held was blocked off by the police as there was a major gathering of the same pricks that spoiled our morning!
