Leigh and Velizar’s Wedding at By Grace Alone

Wow, what a fun night…

Leigh and Velizar had a really cool wedding, that they organised on their own.

The reception, held at By Grace Alone, was awesome. The venue has a medieval theme, with suites of armour, a moat and the whole castle effect. The power even went out for part of the evening, so we sat in candle light, experiencing the true personality of the venue.

We were seated as if we were at a royal banquet. The food, which was aplenty was really good. My favourite was the pumpkin fritters with caramel sauce, which i had more than enough helpings of.

The meal was rounded up with some interesting berry and chocolate mouse pudding.

The dancing then began, with young and old enjoying the some classics.

Leigh and Velizar’s Bachelor and Bachelorette’s

With the wedding drawing closer, Leigh and Velizar had their Bachelor and Bachelorette parties tonight…

The Girls all went to Far Hills Hotel, for a night of nails and dressing up, while the guys had a get together at the Prezens’ house with lots of beer.

I dropped Amelia off at Far Hills Hotel at about 16:00. I had work to do so, I stayed at the office till about 19:00 then carried on with some work at home.

The two parties met up at Cactus and I joined up soon after.

Amelia and I decided to have the legendary Cactus Pizza we always have there with; chicken, avo, garlic and feta.

Leigh-Ann was so funny, she was dressed up with a shirt saying bride, a white fluffy boa and a tiara. She must have had a lot to drink cause she had this glazed look in her eyes and was being so funny. She stole a few pieces of avo off our pizza, it was totally hilarious.

I am sure that they are all going to have funny stories to tell us at the wedding, not to mention some serious hangovers tomorrow.

4 Years with Amelia

Today Amelia and I have been together for 4 years. Damn, time flies when your having fun…

It’s like just the other day we were getting into trouble for talking too much, while working together at Caffe Rossini.

Well, with me experiencing late payments from a few of my clients and Amelia studying, we didn’t have any plans to leave town.

It just so happens that Leigh-Ann is getting married on Saturday so she came down early to finish off some of the arrangements.

We got an invite to visit Leigh-Ann, so we went over for a bit. I got to catch up with Ewan, Leigh-Ann’s brother, who I was in scouts with years ago and has been living in Sweden.

We got to hear all the wedding prep stories and found out that you can get really awesome dresses custom made and imported from China for really good prices.

After some yummy chocolate from Leigh-Ann’s mom and watching Las Vegas we hit the road.

I realy look forward to being out of George this time next year.

Kelly’s Birthday at Picasso’s

Meryl organised a Birthday Bash for Kelly, and Amelia took the opportunity to take a break from studying.

We met up with the crowd at Picasso’s. The ladies and one of the guys did cocktails while the rest of the guys enjoyed a round of Heineken.

While enjoying our beer, we came up with the idea of having a group wedding.

We all figured, the girls all want to have elaborate event’s and we would prefer to have a simple signing of papers and save the bucks for a flatscreen.

So we thought, let’s give the girls what they want and have one huge wedding splitting the cost and inviting the friends we have in common, needless to say the girls didn’t like that idea…

We thus had another round of Heineken…

New Years Eve at Britney’s new pad

A combination, house warming and new years party.

We had a braai in some crazy ass, Rheebok wind… the fire was blazing on the balcony and we had some of the hottest tunes from 2008 pumping throughout the evening.

Amelia and i had the biggest steak I’ve seen in my life, 3.4 Kg of tender beef…

Amelia, Parveen and Lunchen whipped up some potato bake to go down smoothly along side the steak and my Heineken.

Finished off the night with a really smooth cup of coffee…

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
May this year be filled with good food, good drink and good money!!
