Apres Wedding

Well last night started off lighthearted and fun. The kitchen staff had "wedding cake" and toasted Will and Kate. I decided that since we (Australia) are still part of the Commonwealth we (the restaurant) should give parties of 5 or more a complimentary bottle of sparkling wine. I've been trying to get rid of those anyway.

And that's where the fun ended, I'm afraid. People who cared about the wedding ordered take away and deliveries, and people who didn't care about the wedding went out to dinner. The phone was beeping to notify me of incoming calls while I was taking orders from someone else. Hang up, phone rings, take order, hang up, phone rings, take order. It all happened at once and ended at once. I definitely needed a glass of sparkling wine at the end of that night... but it wasn't for toasting.

And no parties of 5 or more. Still stuck with the fake champagne.

This morning I caught up on what I missed. I did a google image search for "the dress" just to see if it would come up... and it did, of course. The new princess looked wonderful, the young princesses looked ridiculous, and I vote this as best hat at the wedding.
