44 days - And I missed a day

It's 44 days until Nicole and I say I do.
Today I feel Slim Dusty

Missed a post yesterday due to creating today's hangover. You could say it's thanks to Triple J's Hottest 100, and these top ten songs;

  • #10: Hilltop Hoods - I Love It {Ft. Sia}
  • #9: The Jezabels - Endless Summer
  • #8: 360 - Boys Like You {Ft. Gossling}
  • #7: San Cisco - Awkward
  • #6: Lana Del Rey - Video Games
  • #5: M83 - Midnight City
  • #4: Boy & Bear - Feeding Line
  • #3: Matt Corby - Brother
  • #2: The Black Keys - Lonely Boy
  • #1: Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know {Ft. Kimbra}

Not sure if any will make play list we're creating for the reception, Number 1 would be perfect - not!
The Black Keys could get a run though as we wait for Nicole to arrive on the day perhaps.
We're off to Brisbane tonight to hang with Mandi and Chris and their daughter Alissa tonight. Mandi is our MC for the wedding, so we'll be rolling through stuff for her to mention, and check whether her jokes are funny. No pressure, but she has a tough crowd. A strong mix of radio people...who are all quick witted comedians, then of course friends and family on both sides - who's she's never met before. Yep no pressure. What do they say, an MC unnoticed is a good one? Mands will be great.
Then tomorrow night we're catching up with Benny Clayton and his girlfriend Sarah as well for dinner. Ben is set to sing a few tunes for us just after the service on the wedding day. Basically just when that awkward moment hits, you know the one of "what to do now?"  after the ceremony is done, he will begin playing. Weather dependent guests are outside for about an hour on the day before we head in and sit down for a meal, so hopefully the live music sets the mood for good times.
Is it though bad to ban the singing of generic wedding songs like Brown Eyed Girl? I hope not.
The wedding is going to trigger an amazing 5 weeks of wine consumption, so liver wise I need to begin preparing. This said it's been pouring rain here for days now, this is called red wine weather in our house. So operation AFD will begin after the weekend!
