Picture the scene.... The blushing bride and her dashing new husband are standing under a rose cove
red arch in a posh hotel waiting to greet their handsome guests. What is the last thing that they would expect to see?
(a) The Virgin Mary
(b) The Pope
(c) ME, dripping wet in a bikini
Suffice to say any of the above would be quite shocking but unfortunately for me, the correct answer is (c).
I finally had a day off on Saturday but due to the zillion Raleigh rules and regulations I have to abide by, I couldn't actually wander very far. The best I could come up with was a trip to the big city and a day spent lounging by the pool in the Regent Hyatt hotel. So far so good. Unfortunately the pool was outside and the changing rooms were inside. So far inside in fact that you had to walk down two corridors and a reception room to get to them. This was all well and good on Saturday afternoon when the building was pretty empty but by the time I had squeezed the last drop out of my day off and finally wandered back into the hotel, a whole wedding party plus photographer had arrived. I managed to make it through the corridors unnoticed but then I opened the door to the reception room and found myself behind a Bride & Groom having their photo taken under a rose covered arch. I actually had to ask them to move to get past. I don'
t know who was more shocked - me or them. I was absolutely mortified. I did my best to hold my head high and smile my way across but it felt like the longest walk of my life.
It's certainly not the first wedding I've ever gatecrashed but I usually have the decency to wear clothes!!
