Saturday 22 July, 2006

Back in July 2006, Sarah Anne Hargreaves and Damian Patrick Robinson legally (and finally) got married. This is a brief record of just some of the comings and goings to the big day(s). Thanks to everyone who made the days so special.

Bintan

After the 'legal bit' and some nice eats at the Halia Restaurant, it was off to Bintan (via home to collect our bags and say goodbye to the cats) for the second leg of the 'Robinson-Hargreaves' Wedding Tour'.

There was some funny looks at the ferry terminal when the wedding party arrived - especially when the bride was still in her white dress, but with a black back-pack strapped to her back! The latest in bridal fashionAfter practising some pigeon-french on our poor, but French, photographer, Gilles, we duly arrived in Bintan and Sarah (or should that read 'my wife'?), Pete and Pam (or should that read 'the out-laws'), plus my sister, Laura, checked into our fabulous villa.This will do, nicelyNot only was it nice to stay in such a place - but it also meant that we had a place for people to drop by to during the day and the night!It beats Birmingham, any dayI could get used to thisThe place also came with a buggy that Laura was hardly out of. In fact, even when Laura was out of it, she was in the buggy!’Taxi!’I think over the four days in Bintan, Laura must have ferried anyone who visited our place - and loads more guests following the main bash on the Saturday. And I know from my bosses, Ron and Trace (see in the photo below - though that wasn't the outfits that they wore to our wedding!), that Laura drove them back early Sunday morning, in the pitch black, and at full speed!.No one told us it wasn't fancy dress!
