Hangovers abound, we all congregated in the dining hall again the next morning to eat breakfast. Surprisingly, Milf and I were fine, but other members of the family were not (Auntie on one side, Milf's cousin, my younger cousins).
We all tucked in to food and laughed at the latecomers before making the drive back to, well, all over the country really! We stopped at 3 service stations before we found one that had a calippo, and finally made it back to Leeds for a quick beer and a snooze before settling down in Amy and Gaz's house to listen to the Kerrang radio show with our tunes on it.
Throughout the day, Justin kept calling me "Eileen". I did correct him a couple of times and apparently just before we arrived, he called me "Eileen" and the whole congregation corrected him and warned him that I'd 'start swinging' for him soon. He still got it wrong again and again. When I got the wedding videos I was thoroughly disappointed to hear him call me that on the DVD. I wish I'd called him out on his dickishness of calling us rough and also made him certain never to get my name wrong. The way he had treated us since winning should've clued us in but it would seem it wouldn't have mattered - our wedding album still isn't here because he took forever to authorise payment to Lisa, and also he called us up several times asking us where the cake stand was. Ask the bloody hotel! The problem is, I left it so late and didn't know how to complain I haven't really raised this with Marston's - to be honest I feel there's only a very slim chance that he'd have to organise something as big as this again. I don't think he understood that it was a real wedding and little details like getting the Bride's name wrong repeatedly even when corrected is a big deal. We nearly couldn't get married due to no-one booking the registrar interview at Leeds, the terms and conditions on the website didn't match the actual competition rules and he didn't seem to care, he never returned my calls, it took him 2 weeks to send the money we needed to buy our outfits when there was only 4 between winning and marrying and he even turned up to our wedding in a t-shirt and blue jeans.
The Old Swan were mostly great, the PR agency and all the 'Extras' were ace, but he's left me a sour taste in my mouth regarding Marston's, and I won't drink Hobgoblin any more if I don't have to. I'd also urge you all to do the same :(
