Follow the Bride #7: The Stag Do!
As promised here's part 2 of the all important stag do,
- So Jim, did you have any idea at all what they
had in line for you? I had managed to get a few bits of information from the stag party but could not
manage to make it all fit together! So basically I had no idea at all! Quite
impressive really!
- Where did you go / what did you do? Well
it was based on a Top Gear challenge, 4 of the group had a budget of £300 to buy a car off eBay for the event. So on the Friday morning they all turned up
at the farm in what were amazingly quite respectable cars. The first challenge
was to decorate the cars to a theme, ranging from a Cow to best of British. Then
the challenge began, our destination was Langholm in Scotland.
The aim of the
day was to gain as many points as possible, from getting pictures of your car
outside a particular pub to having your picture taken IN Lake Windermere! (It
was VERY cold). That evening the scores were collected and of course the Stag’s
team didn’t win, penalties were found at every conceivable option. Night one
ended in the local town hall with a local Scottish band dancing the night away
with the locals.
The
morning of day two was a very steady affair, however some Kayaking in a very
cold lake soon sorted us out, I think more time was spent swimming rather than
actually kayaking! Followed by a very scenic drive over the hills to our
evening destination, Edinburgh. The night was a more normal affair with a
few pubs and bars. Over
the whole weekend it was quite remarkable that not even a single bonnet had to
be opened on any of the cars!
Jim- aka the landrover nut loves engines and had high expectations for the "serious" stag do!
- Jason said this was going to be a ‘serious stag
do’ did it live up to expectation? It did indeed, however
as there were more single than married people in the party the singletons knew
that I have a very long memory!
- Less than
2 months to go, are ‘your’ jobs complete yet and have you actually sorted the
suits yet? All of the easy jobs
are done, marque, food, band. The two main jobs remaining, the most important
one of all is to build the bar, and this will be a surprise, I have a good idea
for this one up my sleeve! The other is the one I’m dreading – suits! I have no
idea, just simple.
- Apparently “you can’t meet a more relaxed
groom.†Getting closer to the day, is this still true? Well
up till now nothing has been a problem as we have been so busy on the farm
doing all of the spring work, the next job is to move house then the wedding so
I have a few more weeks before I only have the wedding to worry about.
Thanks Jim, sounds an eventful stag do. Well we've lots to catch up with Jess about now so we'll be back soon with some more Follow the Bride.
Love as always SP x x
