December 31st 2007 was when Rich proposed to Laura. Fortunately she accepted otherwise the rest of the holiday might have been a bit of a downer. So six of us saw in the New Year in the Dam square and drank champagne on the streets whilst avoiding the batteries of firecracker's that were going off with no regard for Health and Safety at all. They do thing differently in the Netherlands.
I was asked to be part of Team Best Man at the wedding - three of us. I haven' t known Rich and Laura as long as some of my other friends but I was honoured to accept.
So briefly - part of the deal with this wedding is the concept of the Stag Film and the Hen Film.
Each team makes a film, short and entertaining which hopefully will be completed in time to show at the wedding and possibly in future. A meeting was called at the end of January to discuss best man issues and assign names - hence Preacher - we also had the first formal meeting to discuss the film. And got introduced to Phillip Roebuck. Little Bo Peep
At the end Rich announced that we should all from henceforth keep 'video diaries'. Don't know about everyone else but Jon seemed to be the only one who greeted this idea with enthusiasm. I have no idea what to video or what with, so I thought this might be an alternative method of marking progress and counting down the days until Rich and Laura are happily married, whether they have one, two or no films at the wedding. I guess Rich's alternative idea will be to make me video myself updating this blog.
So it's WD - 150.
Let's see what happens.
