Holy shit balls

September 07, 2017 by Kelly Smith

HOLY SHIT BALLS

A poem seems so apt

for your story I shall tell

I hope you enjoy my ramblings

Mr and Mrs Glad-well.

IMG_0025.jpg

On the morning of the wedding

whilst hair and make up magic was done

I made myself a nice hot coffee

I always need at least one

IMG_0043.jpg
IMG_0008.jpg

I'm so proud of the few portraits

I captured of Mrs Gladwell (to be)

although you don't like the camera Michelle

I hope you see what I see...

 

A beautiful, classic bride

with the most AMAZING bright blue eyes

and you must believe me when I tell you this

as my camera and I are both shit at telling lies.

Now I've learned from times before

to now pack a sewing kit

as I had a bad experience once

where the bride had a hissy fit.

IMG_0019.jpg

I've said before I am psychic

and now have little doubt

as just before the dress went on

the sewing kit did come out!

A loose button off the back

fell towards the floor

but all was well, it soon got fixed

before I headed out the door.

Downstairs the boys were faffing

finishing touches to their suits

plenty of time to shit some pants

and embark on a pint pursuit!

Soon time to get to Twickenham

to York House where you got wed

your guests all looked so lovely

and everyone so excited.

Paul's eyes were fixed upon you Michelle

as you glided down the aisle

nothing on this day

could remove his cheeky smile.

You exchanged your vows without a hitch

your kids stood up and read

the rings went on, they fit just right

and then I do was said.

IMG_0251.jpg

So the official stuff was out the way

Paul got to kiss his bride

it was then a chance to throw confetti

as the couple were congratulated outside

The summer sun was kind enough

to keep us warm and dry

but I could not contain my excitement

when the dark clouds filled the sky

IMG_0371.jpg
IMG_0449.jpg
IMG_0475.jpg
IMG_0489.jpg

With torrential downpour threatening

we went via Bushy Park

determined to get some couple photos

we didn't have to go too far.

The sky turned grey so quickly

we were soon running for cover

the Gladwells moved fast across the grass

holding hands with one another.

IMG_0515.jpg

So two weeks before the wedding

a venue let you down

so let's treat them accordingly shall we

 and award them the WANKER crown.

 

But all was well in Hampton

when the stables came up trumps

got a better venue anyway

almost gave me goose bumps...

IMG_0659.jpg

Off to the Stables we went

situated on Hampton Court Road

the guests were there already

celebration drinks in full flow

 

The sun shone through the huge windows

the light was beautiful

the room was so well lit

and full of happy people

IMG_0570.jpg
IMG_0744.jpg

When the food was served at 5pm

much to my delight

the splendid buffet grub

was more than just alright

 

And although it was last minute

The Stables did them proud

big smiles and friendly service

and the music... not too loud.

The speeches were just brilliant

heart felt thanks with a little poem

but best man Tim stole the show

for a long time Paul will owe 'im...

4F3A1395 4.jpg

Tim had the whole room roaring

and before we knew quite how

he only went and surprised us all

with a bloody great big cow!

Laughter filled the sun lit room

a few tears were also shed

it all got quite emotional

when Paul got up and read...

...a poem that he'd written

back in the early days

when this fine couple first got together

and fell in love with their own ways.

As D J Lee entertained the room

with booming familiar tunes

the Gladwells took to the dance floor

before everyone busted moves

Holy shit balls came to mind

as I gazed upon it all

every person at this do

had an absolute flippin' ball!

When first we met in Bushy Park

it was spring, the daffs were out

Michelle was a little camera shy

but Paul would have got it all out.

We talked about the wedding

how great it was to be

and then we drank some coffee

which means a lot to me.

 

It exceeded all expectations

for all involved I'm sure

the love you have around you

you truly are adored

...not least by one another

and it is easy to see why

you're fun and kind and loving

Paul your poem made me cry

 

It sincerely was my pleasure

to spend the day with you

a so perfectly matched couple

I am glad you said I do.

 

I wish you all the happiness

in your now married home

and may you one day have a Donkey

to call your very own.
