Unfortunate down-time

Earlier today, Edith was quite innocently using our network to connect from her PC to the server PC to put on some music. Suddenly, both her PC and the server went rather strange, freezing up for around half a second every three seconds or so. The activity lights on both machines’ network ports showed enormous activity, but the system showed no data at all leaving or entering either computer. The internet and network were not accessible from either machine. Reboots, […]

Epic wedding diary, part 1

I’ve been looking forward to writing all about the wedding day, but at the same time put off by the epic nature of doing so. I’ve decided to try writing it as stream-of-consciousness with headings and see if that works. This post covers only waking up to getting on the coach to the zoo. Too much detail, perhaps? :) Waking up. God it’s early – 6.30am, but excitement means we manage to get up by 6.45am as planned. Paul knocks […]

Coming soon

Coming up shortly on dlog, in as many parts as it takes, Edith will be publishing a seriously epic write-up of the big day itself in as much detail as she can remember. In the mean time, there are lots of new photos, pages, and other stuff, including the chance to look at and order prints of all the day’s official photographs, on the main zoolyweds site.

Back

We are back at home after our honeymoon in Paris, which was very nice. We are now wading through lots of lovely cards and presents and lots of not-so-lovely pre-wedding mess, and suitcases of zoolyweds items that need sorting out and somehow preserving. At some point, perhaps we will actually get around to writing about the wedding day and perhaps the holiday too. Not sure when that will be though…

Success!

We got married! Our guests had fun! We had fun too! We’re now so tired it hurts, and we have to be up at 7.30 ready to go to Paris! Goodnight!

I zoo

3 September? Today? Now? Ooh. So this is really it – the day that has been in preparation for a good two-and-a-half years is today, and it still doesn’t quite seem real. Did we really go for a lovely meal with our friends last night in Leicester Square, or is it a false memory brought on through long-term planning and visualising? Well, if it did really happen, we had a great evening, and were only sorry that we had to […]

Here we go then…

When you spend so long planning and thinking about something, it doesn’t quite seem real, but in a short while we’re off to London Zoo to drop off nibbles, drinks and exciting secret items for the big day tomorrow. Tomorrow! It can’t be tomorrow, can it? Extraordinary. In the past few days, we’ve finally admitted defeat on the pencil sharpener front, so to anyone sitting on the top table, the sharpener there was meant to be different from all the […]

Sunny delight

When we have put so much effort into attending to every last detail of our wedding, what could possibly go wrong? The weather, of course. Neither of us likes the heat, but for obvious two-hour-walk-around-the-zoo-related reasons we most certainly do not want it to rain on Saturday. Ideally, it would be a bright, sunny day (for good photos and an enjoyable walk), but not as hot as it’s being at the moment. Well, if the BBC weather forecast is to […]

No longer speech-less

Oh dear, I appear to have caught the pun-based headline bug from Paul! I have been very quiet on here lately, but that’s because I’ve been busy, not because I’ve had nothing to say! My stress levels are receding as my to-do list shrinks: the greatest relief for me is that after weeks, nay months, of procrastination, I’ve finally written my speech. When you hear it you’ll wonder why on earth I avoided writing it for so long, as it’ll […]

The sharp end

With so few days to go, I am delighted to say that we are actually feeling on top of things at last now! My speech is ready at last, and even most of the music is sorted out now, and all in all it’s all feeling a bit more like we’re ready than it was a few days ago. Saturday saw perhaps the most bizarre excursion of the preparations, though. For reasons that will become clear at the reception, we […]
