I was snapped back to the present as I felt Tina’s hand on my leg squeezing to garner my attention. I laid my own over hers and leant over to place a kiss on her lips before she could speak.

            “Come on babe, maybe there’s been enough emotion for a while, you can look at those later and I am sure the two of you will have a lot to do but for right now how about you take your wife to the bar
get her good and liquored up and then swing her round for a few dances before we do anything else.”

Well I ask you who could ever say no to such an offer? So with a quick stop to move everyone’s gifts inside to my office I did just that taking Tina to the bar and swearing I would ensure that the glass in her hand would be full of champagne for the rest of the evening…..a drunk Tina was fun in so many ways.

Well after the amazing if emotional day I had planned to get myself good and drunk and enjoy the party; however that is not what has happened. In fact for the first time ever I can honestly
say I am the sober adult at an event and am actually enjoying the opportunity
to watch all the people I love so much on one place behaving like, hmmm how do
I put this? Right I know, college frat boys.

It is brilliant the graceful elegant women of earlier in the day are now all very merry and setting a
terrible example to the children who I am currently sat entertaining with Kit
and her date by engaging extremely noisily in some drinking game. What is most
amusing however is that they are being whopped by Ruby, Klara and Peggy all of
whom are a lot longer in the tooth than my friends and have no business being
able to hold so much tequila. Bette is well on her way and is currently looking
like she will drop out any time due to the fact she cannot keep both eyes open
and focus at the same time. Tina is out already having failed to drink at the
appropriate cue and seems to be pretty much asleep with her head on Bette’s
shoulder.
