I went to a wedding...

...over in Birmingham. The lovely Celeste and Andy got hitched in great style (and with mucho shimmying and shaking). It was simultaneously both a very conventional occasion - church, a big collection of guests (about 100), a fabulous frock,a slightly dodgy DJ whgo couldn't manage volume control - and quite unconventional - the bride snogged the groom a little pre-emptively, shimmied on the spot several times whilst at the front of the church, the bride and chief bridesmaid spoke along with more traditional speaking roles, and there was considerable amused gesturing of 'the power of rawk' sign. All in all a very good day was had by everyone who attended. The sun shone and the collective masses of American Studies in the east Midlands all safely survived (it would have been a virtual wipe-out otherwise with so many current and former department visitors there!)

Here's a couple of shots of me - me wearing stripes was a compulsory request from the bride:





And here is one of me and Cloud:
