Tom and Tara's Wedding

28 March 2009, 09:35

Our dear friends Tom and Tara were married in Melbourne last weekend. Ceremony at St. Peter’s Anglican Church with the reception in the Fitzroy Gardens.

It was a beautiful day/evening, everyone was frocked up (discovered, rather satisfyingly, that cleavage makes v. handy distraction from head scar…) and it was a wonderful opportunity to catch up with friends I haven’t seen for an ice age. It was also my first “event” post-op so it was brilliant to be out of the house, soaking up the balmy early-autumn ambience with good conversation and atmosphere of joy (sorry, bucket at the ready).

I was pumped up to the eyeballs with oxycodone and panadeine forte and had to sit for much of the cocktail reception but it was such a lovely event. Tough not to be able to touch the champers though. I was considering not taking the oxy so I could just have one glass (all for Tom and Tara, you understand), but thought better of it.

Aneurysm headache + hangover headache = A shit load of pain and regret the next morning…

We bailed just before the speeches (but after the cake cutting), around 8.30 pm, quite a bit longer than I’d expected to last.

Sigh. New Love.
