Saturday 2 August – Waiting in Witney






Current location: Witney, Oxfordshire
11.11pm, Watching The Inbetweeners with Catdog. Today, after a lovely morning with Claire, Matt and Louis, they drove me to Witney. There I met Sarah Potts and her family, who are all here because Sar's getting married tomorrow!!!
We had a quick drink in the hotel we're all staying in, and I met the best men and a few other people I hadn't met before, and then we headed over to Friars Court, the wedding/reception venue in nearby Clanfield.

Cat (the other bridesmaid, and one of my best friends) arrived too, and so the two of us went through some of the bits that would be happening the next day, with Sar and her dad Richard, and what we would be responsible for. Both of us have been bridesmaids four times before, so we were pretty excited and not really nervous. Plus, the venue was absolutely beautiful, and we were sooooooo looking forward to seeing Sar marry Will, who is one of the most awesome humans (second only to Sar of course), so we couldn't have been happier. I love bridesmaiding with another good friend; it's so special to share such an awesome day with them. I couldn't wait!

In the evening, once everything was sorted and relaxed, we had a big dinner with all the bridal party and families. It was so nice to have a good chat with everyone, and get to know the best men a bit more before tomorrow. What lovely boys! There are three best men (Will's a popular guy!), one of whom is Andy, who came out to visit us in Sydney in January, so it was ace to see him again.
Once we'd eaten, had a drink, and been through the plans for tomorrow, Cat and I went upstairs, tried to sleep, but we were too excited, so we watched The Inbetweeners instead. It really set the tone!
