David is married!! And he and Christina are safely on their...whatever it is they're doing. And the party here is still going, but I am old and tired, so I came inside amid shrieks of happiness and cheer (not because I was leaving...)
Last night was the bachelor party and it was...interesting. How come it was David's bachelor party and they still kept buying ME lapdances. Is it because I turn red? I was Not Amused. There was a barely clad girl dancing over me and all I could think was 'I wonder if she gets cold when she does this in the winter? I should give her a blanket.' Which I don't think is the point. Thomas, however, had the night of this life and he said announced "There should always be bachelor parties" rather loudly to everyone. He didn't get a feather boa this time, though. Woe is Thomas.
This is going to be long. I shall cut it just for you. Today was the wedding. It was fantastic and very very shiny. They had it at a club because Isabella knows the owner. They were married by a certain Father Domingo, who is rather laid back. He walked around after the wedding wearing glow in the dark shades... Apparently Isabella knows all the cool priests. David, who decided that his wedding was going to be a bit different, wore a silver suit and Christina's dress was black, but it looked blue under the lights. Very pretty. I was the best man! And Thomas, Edward and Miguel were groomsmen. Aly was the maid of honour and Tasha, Hope and Lavannah were bridesmaids. My lovely Lydia and Anna spread glitter and sequins around instead of petals. Caleb was ringbearer. He said he should do it professionally! Jacinta walked David down the aisle and it was really beautiful. I sound like a woman. That's okay, women are smart.
The reception took place in the club as well, which was very good. It was a riot. Kind of literally! People were dancing on the tables! They played...Spanish electric music or something. Svetlana got herself hypnotised by a mirrorball. She was staring up at it so I distracted her with dancing. Oh! And the plot that Miguel and David were hatching the other day for Brian was simply that they drugged his champagne and he fell asleep on his dinner. But he wasn't bothering anyone then. They put him in the closet, and I believe they were being a certain kind of metaphorical...he's fine by the way. And he caught some extra sleep.
So pictures.

What David does with his cousins is his own business...this was a few days ago. Awww.

This is me giving my best man's speech. And being heckled by a heckler (Thomas).

David got smashed at his party. And this is the face that he made when I pointed it out.

See? Completely drunk. But he was showing me he was still strong anyway. Thanks, David.

I don't know what Svetlana is doing to Miguel here, but he looks like he likes it...

Tasha was drinking too! Or possibly getting beer for someone else. And she's gorgeous.

And here's Tasha looking confused because of something Hope gave her. I assume Hope was giggling madly when she did it.

Quiet reflection is what that is.

Before the wedding, Vincenza's father took some pictures of Christina and some of the family. Isn't her dress fantastic?

Christina posed with Vincenza and they're both stunning.

Lavannah looked gorgeous at the wedding. She always does, of course.

Svetlana got attacked by glitter...but she liked it.

My gorgeous Aly. She said this is the only time she'd wear white at a wedding. To be contrary.

And again, because the camera loves her. And so do I.

Hope found the chocolates at the reception to be rather appealing...

I am sure she found this appealing too. Tasha took off her shiny skirt and proceeded to show off the skills she learned at Aly's bachlorette party. I squeaked and hid my eyes. But I hear she's very talented. Mostly from Miguel, who I had to hit.

Here's me, making faces at Thomas again. You can't see my shiny, it's under my coat. But it was black. And shiny.
And this is what I was making faces at. David told Thomas to go all out. And of course...when you do that, he does. What did he wear?

This, of course. He looked like a mirror...and then he proceeded to hop up on the counter and lip synch a song for the happy couple. He's one of a kind, our Thomas.
I liked seeing so many people so happy. And they still are, I can hear them hooting. Good for them. And good for David and Christina.

Date: 2007-06-05 12:37 pm (UTC)From:Look at the cousin love! I'm glad it's not just Tasha and I *winks* David looks so happy. Which is perfectly understandable, given the gorgeous lady he's getting married to.
I can't believe you would say Thomas heckled you. That is clearly a scurrilous lie.
Oooh, look at buff David! He is a strong man! And very sexy!
Svetlana looks like she's checking Miguel for hemaerrhoids. Or however you spell that. That's not what she's doing, right? Because they look very happy about it, and h... those are not happy things.
Eeee, my Tash is so cute! I have to admit though, I would be making that face too if Hope gave me a fish.
Maybe it was a hint?Christina looks absolutely divine. I love that dress. And her hair. And her everything. David has some very attractive relatives, too! That Vincenza... Mmmm.
Lavannah looks amazing as well. She's such a beautiful girl. Is she having a good time, is she happy?
*giggles* Glittery Svetlana! If the disco ball mesmerised her, how on earth did she react to Thomas' outfit?! Whatever it was, I bet it was adorable! Which Thomas also is. He is shiny!sex. And looking so happy! That's so awesome to see. So many smiles.
And our darling Aly. Always so incredibly beautiful. She looks so proud of David. And of Christina too, I'm sure. I love Aly. And I love Hope! And OhGoddessWANT those chocolates. Sooooooo much chocolatey goodness.
I want to see your shiny! Show me when you get home? Does it look like Tasha's shiny? *grins*
I hope the hooting continues well into the night, and indeed the morning *smiles* You all well and truly deserve it.

Date: 2007-06-05 12:44 pm (UTC)From:Thomas is a dirty heckler! But a sexy dirty heckler...so he's forgiven.
I...don't think that's what she's doing...
I am not thinking about it!! Reneeeeeeee!!
Vincenza attached herself to me and she kept calling me 'Pedro'.
Lavannah's fine. She was singing and dancing about, which is a good sign.
I am sure Thomas mesmerised her too. I think he mesmerised most people... He could do it with that smile, he didn't need to wear a mirror.
Aly was proud of everyone. She was running around all day looking so pleased. She loves that David married her best friend. And I'll bring you home some chocolates, Renee!
I'll flash you my shiny if you want, but no...it's not quite the same as Tasha's...
Thank you, Renee!

Date: 2007-06-05 01:15 pm (UTC)From:Sexy and dirty, what a wonderful combination *winks* Especially on Thomas!
Awww, but Tasha and Hope are so cute! *grins*
Vincenza is weird. But she sounds fun!
I'm so glad to hear that Lavannah is enjoying herself. I've been worried about her. She's such a sweetheart, and I hate that circumstances make her so sad.
Peter, you say the sweetest things about Thomas! And you're right, too. He is a mesmerising man. And his smile certainly is the very epitome of gorgeous in that photo.
Yay Aly! And yay, chocolates! You're so sweet, mon ami.
*giggles* Flash me your shiny!

I like to make you smile. So chocolates and flashing you shall have!

Date: 2007-06-05 12:52 pm (UTC)From:As for Brian being in the closet, well... let's just hope this was a wake-up call for him, as it were.
David is looking quite magnificent, or alternatively at the least quite magnificently drunk. I like his quiet reflection photo. It feels very profound. I'm glad that amongst all the fun, David is taking his commitment to Christina seriously. Not that I ever had any doubt of that.
Christina herself looks absolutely stunning! If only I had the breasts, I would wear that dress myself!
Svetlana looks so darling. I've been concerned about her feeling overwhelmed, but it looks like she really enjoyed herself. I'm so glad. This is an event that should be happy for everyone, and it really looks like it was. Just look at Tasha! Such a huge smile. And... a dolphin. Because no wedding would be complete without one, no matter how expensive or lavish.
Could women get any more beautiful than Lavannah and Aly? Well, I'm sure the bride won the day, as is proper, but never did there walk more beautiful bridesmaids. Aly's choice of dress, in particular, I find quite superb.
How many of those chocolates are left now? Or were left when you left? Just gauging the progress of the evening...
By the way, I second Renee's request for a viewing of the shiny! And, um... I apologise for the other night. I didn't realise I was upsetting you until it was too late. But now is a happy time, so shall we not dwell...?
I love you, Peter. I love you very much, and I am most thrilled to see you and yours happy.
no subject
Date: 2007-06-05 01:00 pm (UTC)From:Yes. Let's.
David is a wonderful man. And I can't properly express how happy I was to see him married. It's been a long few months, but it finally feels like things are right again.
That's an interesting pronouncement! And a very high compliment, I am sure! Christina will be proud!
I've been concerned too. I was careful to dance with her, and then Aly joined us and Thomas as well. And we took up quite a bit of room, dancing around together! And then I danced with my son, who was also mesmerised by the disco ball..and big Thomas.
Yes, all weddings need dolphins!
My Aly is always beautiful. She giggled and said "I'm wearing white, Peter! I'm going to be shiny and mocky!" And I had to kiss her because she was too cute for words.
I may have gorged myself on the chocolates after Hope was done with them. And that was only one of the several trays...ahem. They're all gone!
Adrian, it's okay! I'm not upset. You being happy and Thomas being happy makes me happy and since you make each other happy you make me happy. Yes, that. I'm just odd and human sometimes. But I swear I stopped being human 5 minutes later when Aly told me to!
I love you too, Adrian. And I miss you and I'm looking forward to seeing you when we get back.

Date: 2007-06-05 01:24 pm (UTC)From:I'm very glad to make Christina proud, she absolutely should be!
It sounds like you're all taking wonderful care of Svetlana, not that I ever thought otherwise. Her smiles show what a tremendous job you're doing. I'm so proud and impressed, Peter. By all of you, very much including Svetlana. What you've achieved together is nothing short of amazing.
Shiny and mocky. Aly's natural state! Along with beautiful and lovely, of course.
The chocolates have all been devoured, hmm? Well, it has been a good night! You managed to steal a few away to preserve for Renee though, I gather?
I'm so glad things are right between us, Peter. I knew this wouldn't be a major sticking point, but I couldn't feel completely okay until you'd said we could put it behind us. Don't apologise for being human, our humanity is one our most precious traits! You have every right to feel the way you do. I'm just so grateful that you way you feel now is loving and forgiving. Once again, you show us the finer side of humanity. I'm very much looking forward to your return, my very good friend.

Date: 2007-06-05 01:31 pm (UTC)From:I'm proud and impressed by Svetlana too. She's amazing. She has a cute laugh. I like it when she laughs.
Aly is good at mocky! And shiny! And everything!
A few, but Renee gets special new fresh other chocolates too! Do you want chocolates also?
There was nothing to forgive. But the loving is correct! Please don't hold back from anything because of me. Then I'd be unhappy. Flirt! Be cute! The way you make Thomas smile makes me all warm inside. And vice versa, of course. He makes you smile too, and I love it.

Date: 2007-06-05 01:49 pm (UTC)From:Your wife is just sensational all round!
Peter, I would love some Spanish chocolates. Thank you! You're very sweet, if you'll forgive the pun.
Again, I thank you. I love making Thomas happy. And you're quite right, he makes me very happy as well. If that it turn makes you happy, then I think the situation is quite perfect.

I really think it is too. Really.

man, david's gotten seriously buff. i gotta challenge the guy to an arm wrestle some time. he's so gonna whup my arse...
miguel looks like a troublemaker. i like him. he and david should cook up stuff like the closet more often. and christina could always "discipline" him later. david, not miguel. is svetlana disciplining miguel?
tasha like beer. i'd say she's a man, but with that dancing photo, i'd never get away with it.
anyway, holy shit look at all the shiny. i reckon thomas could run somethin' what was solar powered off that outfit. and lavannah could run the same off the pretty. seriously, hottest wedding ever. tell david to bring the rellies over here and throw more hot parties!

Date: 2007-06-05 01:07 pm (UTC)From:I just find it hard to be attracted to people I don't know, really. I'm a personality person and not a...big..boobs in the face person. You are right, however, why would I want to look at anyone else when I can look at Aly. I enjoy it when she does the stripping thing!
I'm pretty sure he could whup mine!
Miguel is a wonderful man! And indeed a troublemaker. I think you two would get along smashingly. And oh dear, maybe. Well, he knows who's boss then!
Are you looking at my daughter?! Don't look at her! Nevermind that I posted the picture!
I'll let him know!

Date: 2007-06-05 01:29 pm (UTC)From:yeah, i'm easily amused. anyway...
i get what you mean about the personality versus boobs thing. but again, easily amused, i like both. i'm totally in love with kay, though. it's just male to look at a passing pair of breasts, but i'd never be unfaithful to her. she means way too much to me, and so does my self-respect. so yeah... that's my very brief soapbox. be loyal to christina, david!
it's settled. miguel and i need to collaborate. oh yes, how we need to collaborate...
hey! but i just explained about the looking thing! awwww... spoilsport.

You have the serenity of a man surrounded by his loved ones, which of course is a feature of all the photos. I like it very much. You all look so happy and at peace. It is especially good with people I know have been through troubled times, like you and David and Tasha. I see Tasha is able to have her splints off! That is very good. I am very happy to see a full recovery for her :)
Christina and Vincenza look very beautiful together! I can see why you said Vincenza must be a model or something, she is a very attractive girl! And while I do not swing that way, I see the man standing with her and Christina is quite attractive himself. David has a very good-looking family! Like Aly :) She looks beautiful as always, Peter. You will tell her I said so, if she does not see this?
And Thomas, what can I say about Thomas? The outfit, the smile, they all say words far greater in volume and import than I could ever come up with. I am sure the kissing of the bride was the image of the wedding, but I am just as sure that photo of Thomas is the image of the reception! Very beautiful. I love it!

I left London, ready to lose my mind, and within an hour, that was all gone. It just melted away. I'm happy that I'm not the only one that feels that way too. I was happy to see Tasha recover as well!
I think they have a pretty gene. I told Aly what you said and she says you're getting a big reward kiss on the cheek when we get home. And you made her grin too!
