I have never been to a Greek wedding and in over 40 degrees what was I thinking to wear a black dress and the biggest black hat you ever saw? pleeeeeease do not ask me. Anyway I am there in the heat with killer spikes heels and no stockings and therefore had to be surgically removed at 5am on Sunday morning. The bride looked stunning, so beautiful and she was wearing the most loveliest dress. The only problem was that in the church all the Brits had raced in to get the best seats (Of course – no towel throwing involved) but all the local aristocrats arrived fashionably late to find that their reserved seats had been taken by the Haringay boys and their Wags (me included). What did they do ? well they had the last laugh as they stood in front of us all, yes they actually stood up for one hour in the blazing heat in front of us. So not one Brit can say they saw the happy couple exchange rings, but we were all there in our best frocks (Me being the only one in black) and we all cheered at the end. Yianni please send us a copy of the DVD asap.

We all set off for the wedding breakfast at the most stunning picturesque place in the whole of Athens overlooking the sea. The wine flowed all night and the food (half a stone heavier today!!) and I had to spend all day in bed on Sunday due to not getting in until 5.30am. Housekeeping were not amused that they had to clean the room in the evening.(Sorry!) So now four days of Greek Salad at every meal time to loose the half stone I did not want in the first place. My hubby flew off to other lands today on a work mission and I miss him already, who is going to share the salad with me?

So back to the grind stone, have got to get the look book finished this week (actually started would be a great move forward) with only three weeks to go before the launch of our SS 2010 collection it is all manic.
