27th October 2008 Pikey and
Jo's wedding
And so for second time this season another Casual took the
long walk down the aisle..(I actually think there have been
a couple more, but they wisely chose to elope to avoid the
Cazh onslaught...
The Pikey wedding evening bash was held at the New Country
Inn Hotel (or a variation with those words), on the Caerphilly
road near the Travelers Rest (middle of no where). The Cazh
contingent met at a Whitchurch pub before hand to get a few
'cheap' ones in and prepare for the evening's food intake.
We arrived at the bash, went to the wrong party - a 30th...
, but eventually.. found the right do ...no sign of Pikey
or wife, or buffet, so proceeded to the bar - where we found
that it was FREE (a big advantage given that there were reports
of a vod and coke plus pint coming to £11.50 at the
other wedding held at the venue)
Anyway, Mr & Mrs Pike turned out (looking lovely, well
she did anyway..nice dragonflies (!)) the big talk of the
day was the best man's speech...not quite EVBR but the new
'Thumb bumming' which the best man said he knew Jo (Mrs Pike)
would 'fit in' with the crowd of mates as he 'Thumb bummed'
her on their first meeting (no penetration) but she didn't
seem to 'mind' ...the revelation went down well with some..and
not so well with others...mother and father of the bride for
example.....
Anyway, the materialisation of two fitties took the Casuals
minds off the missing food...right up until they got booted
out for gatecrashing..turned out the news of the free bar
had seemingly cascaded to the other parties at the venue...don't
know how that happened....
Using overt steath...the Cazh positioned themselves were
we thought the buffet might be laid out, and sure enough arrive
it did, lots of it, smack bang next to us. The question was
asked by Dewbs "when can we start" to which I replied
"only after they have rung the bell"....the Cazh
were looking anxiously at the food, Winky and Shakey started
us off having a few peanuts, but other guests were looking
at us, I'm sure still wondering if we'd actually been invited...during
the 'first dance', I saw the opportunity, with less people
looking - dived in and started on a stuffed jacket potato
- on seeing this the cazh machine whirled into action, the
brothers Stephens and DB - a plate in each hand, Richie and
Winky going straight for the chicken, and an exasperated and
worried Dewbs shouting "but the bell hasn't rung, the
bell hasn't rung"....
After four or five platefuls the cazh seemed to relax, casually
chatting drinking etc. Richie's lift arrived. Whilst chatting
to Pikey and another female guest I turned round to see Winkie
saying he's going (which I had known about already), but then
dropping into line behind him the rest of the cazh with big
grins staying their off too, taking the remaining places in
Winkies car....leaving me knowing only the groom, and the
girl in the middle of bastard no where.....cheers lads....
at least there was a free bar!!
Could have got into a spot of bother later on...as two of
the really pissed scousers (who were two of a handful still
standing) and his mate were having a 'heated' discussion at
the bar... I had to stop the overwhelming urge of butting
in saying "calm down, calm down"...what's a wedding
without a punch up...?
(Paul has send an apology for leaving...the rest of you...I
have a long memory!!!!)
Anyway - Congrats to Pikey and Mrs Pike - wishing you all
the happiness for the future!
The lovely Jo and...Jamie, with the fashionable backdrop
of the Cazh..blocking out any light

Don't leave me Pikey... |
Thumb bumming... minus Jo...(picture an accurate portrayal
of how it looked at the time through my eyes...) |
..though, Pikey wasn't looking too good on his casual
Cazh Stag Do..

..this was taken just before his 20min stint in the
bathroom..not being sick..then disappearing before the
food arrived! |
