Theatre of Dreams

Last weekend was an amazing weekend.
Hoe and Penny are here for their honeymoon and I'm glad the bestman also had a role in the honeymoon.

We went to Old Trafford to watch the Bolton match. We were lucky enough to have full VIP treatment! It wasn't my first time at Old Trafford but definitely the most memorable one.

The same feeling I get every single time I stand in front of the stadium.....and I think Hoe felt the same as well!

As always, when I'm in charge of photos, there will always be a stupid pose hahahaha

We then moved into the suite where there was an open bar and a four course meal. Lovely!!

We were joined by an ex United legend. Norman Whiteside. To be honest, I had to Google him but Kelly knew who he was straight away.



Also, Owen Hargreaves did a little appearance...guess what? He's still fucking injured! Got his autograph though.



It soon got nearer to kick off time. We moved on to our seats. Makes a change to not be in the clouds. We had a perfect view of the pitch. Note the Newton Heath colours..Green and Gold is the new red.

Don't believe me? Check this out!!

A minute of silence to show respect for the victims of the Japan earthquake.

The match got on the way. United were poor in the first half. Mainly long distance attempts and Bolton were being Bolton and playing route one footie. Evans got sent off for a horrible challenge on Holden. We actually got better after that and broke them in the 80 odd minute when Berbatov nestled the ball into the back of the net after Jaaskelainen parried a Nani attempt! Glory Glory Man United!

After the match, there was still time to meet the stars. Smalling was United's man of the match. I actually bumped into Chris at the corridor and shook his hand and said well played mate like he was an old friend of mine. He probably thought I was Park Ji Sung's cousin. What a dude!

And then the official man of the match, Gary Cahill. Unlucky son :)

Of course I got his squiggle!

It was an amazing experience and all of us enjoyed ourselves. Still not sure what we did to deserve it tho. Thanks Penny and Hoe.

Wimbledon 2010

They are saying that it's going to be the year a British person is going to win it. Mind you they are also saying that England will win the World Cup now that they've managed an ''amazing'' 1-0 win over Slovenia in the group stages....just to qualify as group runner ups!

Anyways, took the day off (well half the day) of the World Cup and went to Wimbledon.

First time we were in Court 2 which is the latest show court. I was quite excited as our seats were really close to the court..Row C! It was crazy hot as well - about 28 degrees and probably higher at lunchtime.

First up was the US Open winner, come back queen Kim Clijsters, against Maria Kirilenko, who was pretty hot.

Kim was too powerful for little Maria. She certainly didn't have to solve a problem like Maria today!

Didn't fancy watching horse faced woman (Jelena Jankovic) whinge and moan all match, so we went for walkies.

and look who we found!! Daniella Hantchukova :)

Playing in a doubles match with Cara Black.

After that it was back to Court 2 action. This time, Jurgen Melzer against Feliciano Lopez.

Kelly thought that Feliciano was hot!

I just couldn't believe how massive his legs were!!

Jurgen came up trumps in four sets.

That was it for this year. It was nice to be able to have a seat so close to the action. Shame it wasn't the latter rounds. Oh well, there is always next year.

Ali & Ben

I know it's been almost a week, but I've finally gotten round to doing a blog about Ali and Ben's wedding at Priory Hall in Hadleigh. It was an amazing day and a really enjoyable wedding. Unfortunately, my lens wasn't fast enough to get all the shots I wanted, but hopefully these ones should give a taste of what a lovely day it was.

First things first, the bride and groom. Ali and Ben are a great couple who are certainly meant to be together, and they looked very happy to have taken the next step. The ceremony was meaningful and left everyone with a warm glow.

After the ceremony, and some photographs with the official photographer, we made our way to the courtyard for a spot of Pimms.

Then the girls got chilly in their revealing dresses, so we made our way inside with our drinks, and took the opportunity to pose in front of the fire place! Very English!

Me and Kelly also got a shot together!

Then it was time for the speeches and food, so we made our way over to the marquee. Everything was set up in a country picnic style, which looked good against the white backdrop of the marquee.

The speeches flowed well, and there was the added factor of the speech sweepstake, where people had put money on the different lengths of time that the speeches might go on for. Lucky Louise ended up winning that! Ali's dad's speech was so moving that Kelly cried, and this crying seemed to be a theme, as Ben was fighting back the emotion.....I know that feeling! There was obviously a lot of funny moments too, especially during the best man's speech.

After the speeches we ate some yummy food, including fresh bread, cheese, fish and salad. It went down a treat and gave us plenty of energy for the evening entertainment.....Ben and his band. They were on form and got the crowd going straight away, so there was plenty of dancing. I even got in on the act after the interval, and after a few more beers!

The crowd gathering in anticipation of the band

All in all it was a fantastic day. I wish Ben and Ali all the happiness in the world.
