Unaccustomed as I am...

... to pubic speaking. Shit. I mean crap. Lets start over.

I'd like to thank so many.

Firstly, Himself upstairs, thank you for the beautiful weather, it hasn't rained on me once. (I'm gone on Monday, You can resume business as usual.) Thank you Jina and Geff for the wedding, I personally don't think it could have gone much better. (Thanks Jeff for helping us get Gina off the shelf, crocked and all as she is, though I hope you like your cute animals sans mint sauce.) Thanks ma and pa for everything. Thank you the family Gardner, I am glad Gina has found such a fantastic second family . Thank you castle owners for the unforgettable setting, thank you caterers for the melt in the mouth salmon, thank you Sally and your army of helpers for the stunning autumnal flowers. Thank you Claire for managing to make Gina look presentable, my little sister in fact looked beautiful. Thank you Laura Beth, Kathy and John for the music, for the sake of my mascara I tried not to listen. Thank you Gerry for the beautiful service. Thank you all those who populated the dance floor until the dj was obliged to stop, thank you dj for playing so long and for handing us the reins when you left, (were you on drugs?) Thank you Jeff for halting me early in my rendition of "Lady in Red", I'm not sure the crowd was ready for my unique interpretation of a true classic. Thanks Finnoula for the irish dancing, it was worth the wait. Thank you taxi driver for finding the red door. Thanks Jeff for the cooking wake up call, sleep is overrated.

If I have forgotten anyone forgive me, I am really only thanking anyone as an excuse to publish the first known picture of all six men of the Smyth family in suits.





If for some strange reason you wanted to see any of the other photos, they are here...
