My Daughters Wedding On Saturday

[Smiffy]

Sarah, my eldest She is 21 (is she mad) but you can't live their lives so can only hope she will be very happy

Seems only a few months ago that she was born, she is a great girl ( but I would say that) only she really is, I hardly see her as she lives in Nottingham where the wedding will be, how do they grow up so quick, she told me I was the only man for her!!

Got me dressed in one of those penguin suits I am a teeshirt and jeans person, it will be off the moment I can change

Hi Smiffy!

You don't look old enough to have children - are you going to be a Grandad soon?

Hope it all goes really well, and the marriage lasts for a while, at least. Will you be playing at the wedding?

Kind regards
Tom

Aww, congratulations and good luck to the young couple.

Kids eh? My dad told me to stick to rabbits ... I love family weddings and seeing the males of the family looking uncomfy in penguin suits - like the Mafiosi trying to persuade the judge they're respectable! <lols> Frankly if I were on the jury I'd find them guilty! haha

Don't worry it'll be OK in the end - you have to let the kids mess up their lives in their own way don't you think? Would love a picture

Hi Tom, hitting the big 50 in April

No not playing, not had much of a chance to be near the sax with working away and some how I have lost my lip

Thank for the good wishes

 

[Smiffy]

Djangette, Thanks, will post some photos

 

[Djangette]

Ty - are you going to dance? lol

 

[Smiffy]

for sure it's the best way to embarrass her

 

[Young Col]

Garry, really pleased for you and best wishes to the happy couple. You must bring the photos down and show me and OG over lunch. We (me anyway) promise not to snigger over the penguin suit.

My three daughters were wise enough not to even try the penguin suit route with me

So far, two out of three are are going well .....good luck with your daughter's and enjoy the bash.

[Smiffy]

BTW It all looks great, and may I wish them every happiness in their life together. Have you had to sell all your saxes to pay for the wedding!:shocked:

Being 50 is not so bad - its the new 40, really speaking. I've just entered my new Ska/Reggae phase and want to set up a post 50 yo Ska band in the next 2 years - probably playing trumpet/trombone, mainly in minor pentatonic scales. I'm like Michael Jackson in reverse.

Congratulations to you all - I bet that you are a really proud Daddy, the Smiffster!!!!

Let me know what reeds you'd like!
Kind regards
Tom Skabertawe

Excellent. Looks like a great day was had by everyone. :welldone


No saxophones in any piccies though.

 

[Sue]

Lovely day and looks like a great wedding.

Hi Garry

Good luck on the day. I'm in the same boat... youngest (Duncan 27) is getting married in Oz in May when we are out there. He has already made me a grandad
in October last year. They have got a band to play so I'm taking my mouthpiece hoping they have a sax player who doesn't mind swapping spit.
Don't forget the dad at a wedding dance; two thumbs raised and do the cockernee walkabaht. I'm practising hard as it don't come natural to a Yorkshireman.
