ch-ch-ch-ch-changes
so, yet further changes to the wedding plans.
we were all set to go to south africa on 14th december, get married on 21st december on the beautiful beaches of cape town with family, friends and penguins in attendance, spend a few days in a tree house and play with the amazing elephants, head back to johannesburg for xmas with the in-laws, and fly home for new years in good old london.
need i remind you what they say about the best laid plans?
our tickets were arranged through j’s sister, who works for south african airways, and got us round trip tix for the bargain price of £200 a piece. however, s.a.a., in their infinite wisdom, decided to invalidate family courtesy tickets through the holiday season. meaning, that to stick to our original plan would now cost nearly £1400 for the tickets alone.
there’s a lot you can do with £1000 in china, malaysia, or peru.
so, as much as it saddens me, we’re postponing until january. hopefully getting married 15th january.
and, as a consolation prize, we will go somewhere else for my christmas birthday bash. i’m voting heavily for greece. xmas on the aegean is not a bad runner-up. or at least, that’s what i am trying to convince myself.
anyway, it gives me more time to find a dress!
in an effort to distract myself, er… you, from the tragic news above:
get buried in a pod/capsule/bubble
george bush sings “sunday, bloody sunday”. yes, the u2 song.
dogs. not always a paralytic’s best friend.
the world is a sick and twisted place. deal with it.
