Engagement and stuff.....

Last Saturday night 29.05.10 was Amanda and Gareth's engagement party.

The picture of them just above doesn't really tell the truth. Although Gareth looks drunk he was pretty much sober, and while Amanda looks sober.... well she was smashed!

They hired a bar in the city called"The Carron" out for the night.

I decided to go all out and get my hair and makeup done and considering i was wearing a dress i thought getting my Lilly white legs out was probably not a very good idea. They are white, super white, like white enough to blind people with the glare that reflects off them when light hits them, so i decided to get a spray tan.

Ever since my surgery i find i get extremely tired very easily. i guess its from only eating soup for the past couple of weeks, I'm not getting all the nutrients i would normally get. Even though i am taking a liquid multi vitamin every morning which helps a little, so this spray tan was rather entertaining. I was standing there while the girl sprayed me when all of a sudden i start to feel really faint, luckily the girl realised and got a chair in behind me right before i went to jelly. The rest of the time she was spraying was touch and go, i was fine for a couple of minutes then i needed to stop and sit for a minute or two... i wasn't impressed, however the end result was a lovely golden brown colour even though it took us twice as long to get me sprayed.

The party was great, i had so much fun and ended up pretty drunk. I wouldn't have been so drunk if A) I had something other then soup in my stomach and B) I didn't let Tim buy me the strongest shot you can buy.

Gareth had asked to make a speech because he wanted someone who was close to the both of them to make it, so i made sure i didn't drink too much before that just in case i ended up making a complete dick of myself. I was so nervous having to speak in front of 160 people

but i think i ended up doing a pretty decent job... even made Amanda cry a little.

We danced, laughed and drank.... boy did we drink. It was a great night and I'm fairly certain everyone had a fun.
