Daily Mirror- wedding in wellies

Loved this in the Mirror .Sums it all up really 

Nice day for a wet wedding: Bride and groom have to stand on table for photos after torrential downpour

When torrential rain flooded the garden of their wedding hotel, the couple bought his’n’hers wellies

THE bride and groom decided to splash out when they took the plunge...

Sarah Longland, 29, and 34-year-old Mark Camilletti intended to exchange vows outside in front of 100 guests.

But when torrential rain flooded the garden of their wedding hotel, the couple bought his’n’hers wellies.

And with the lawn under 2ft of water, they had to stand on a table for the photos.

Sarah said: “We knew it was going to be wet so we brought a load of wellies and umbrellas and asked the guests to do the same.

"Some of the guests thought there was a lovely lake in the garden when they arrived.”

Support worker Sarah and civil servant Mark, of Bowes Park, North London, had the service indoors at Hotel Felix in Cambridge, before heading outside for photos in the garden.

Hotel manager Shara Ross praised them for “taking it all in their stride”.

Latest weddings and drama

Saturday 14 th July 2012 wedding Conaught Hotel Wolverhampton , Richard and Stacey

Superfuzz were greeted on their first set by a number of little girls colouring on the dancefloor . Now Mick and Keith of the Stones, I can bet my bottom dollar were never greeted by such a sight. But then we're not the Stones and we have become oblivious of late to such distractions. Old, young, rich ,poor ,slightly mad , we care not,we just play our thing and hope people like us. The children vacated the floor eventually and our night finished off with plenty of dancing , thankfully.
ps The bride and groom were truly lovely and we wish them well .

Wedding Friday 6th at Icomb Village Hall, Icomb,Cheltenham

Very small venue for a wedding , they were crammed in like sardines! This wedding was set in the beautiful Cotswolds and attended by a "happy go lucky bunch" of Americans who bopped all night, drank copious amounts of alcohol and went home with thick heads and tired bodies. Well done yo'all

Saturday 7th in Royston Hertfordshire 

If you are going to ask a band to drive 180 miles to a party ,please make sure you have enough guests invited, 8 people in a marque does not constitute a party.  We lost the will to live half way through the second set when the "crowd" reduced to even smaller numbers.
We have nerves of steel however, and battled on belligerently to the end . I can imagine more sensitive bands might have thrown an Elton John type hissy fit well before the final curtain. Never mind, win some lose some. 

Want to be famous Brides ?

Hi Brides

 Superfuzz have received this request from a tv company looking for brides to be included in a documentary about the first year of marriage , if you are interested in taking part ,give them a call !

Dear Superfuzz

 I work for a leading independent television production company called Monkey Kingdom, the makers of ‘Made in Chelsea’ and ‘Meet the Middletons’.  I am getting in touch as we are making a brand new television series for Sky on marriage. This observational documentary series will look at what this institution means in the 21^st century by documenting the first year of marriage through the eyes of a number of newlyweds. 

We will capture the experiences and milestones of a variety of couples from across the country. From the wedding day to the first anniversary and everything in between, we will film the successes and challenges that come within the first year.

We have just started our casting process and are currently looking for  couples who are planning a wedding between July and October 2012.  We are looking for people who would not only be willing to share their special day with us, but would also be happy for us to film with them for a couple of days every month over a year long period.

Best wishes,

Sophie

Superfuzz v England

8th June - 40 th Birthday party for Chistine and Wedding in rainy old Hazelwood.

Off to Rotherham on a Friday for a 40th birthday party  , when England are playing ? There's surely only one winner. But hold on, the good folk of Rotherham like their footy but they also like a good shindig , so although numbers were a little down first set everyone joined in for the second.We had a great time . Our hosts were too kind bringing forth beer and buffet , so we played until the cows came home and the children had collapse through exhaustion. A rousing rendition of happy birthday finished off a happy night.

9th june Wedding Hazelwood near Duffield

My word, the weather was atrocious , the guests were battling with monsoon flooding on a biblical scale. The spirits were however not dimmed as guests danced and bopped all night long . We must have been on the ball as we gave out plenty of business cards and enjoyed kind words.
Highlight of the night was a young slip of a thing jumping on stage and distracting Archibald with her womanly charms during Stand By Me .
For your information - we ve put him on a course of bromide and should make a full recovery.

Wedding - 2nd june 2012 ,Blackbrook House,Belper, Derbyshire

Blackbrook House is a beautiful country house situated just outside Belper.The weather was somewhat unkind for this Jubilee weekend wedding. Paul and Martin played an acoustic greeting for the wedding guests as they entered the wedding room,which went very well.

Two half an hour sets were planned for the afternoons entertainment , but events contrived to scupper this. Photography over ran , dinner over ran , speeches over ran , everything over ran , so we eventually started at 8.30pm . What a great time though , everyone danced and enjoyed themselves and our bride even sang Mustang Sally with the band taking lead vocals to everyone's delight!

Sulgrave Manor Jubilee Celebration 4 th June 2012

If you are travelling through Oxfordshire and happen across the tiny village of Sulgrave, don't hesitate pulling up to the Star Inn for a few drinks. Because there you can be assured of the warmest of welcomes. The locals are the friendliest , kind people you could wish to meet.

Setting up in the Manor hall and playing to these gentle country Bumpkins was a real privilege. They bopped all night and treated us absolutely brilliantly. The loyal toast was perhaps not quite as well observed as it might have been, playing second fiddle to the roast beast being served ,but I'm sure her majesty would have understood. 

One interesting fact was bestowed upon us :- did you know the only people allowed to sit down during a loyal toast are naval officers.This was so they didn't hit their heads on the decks above.This dates back to the reign of King Charles II who whilst on board the Royal Charles bumped his royal bonce whilst replying to the toast. Ouch ! 

Anyway three cheers for the Queen , and well done to Clive who was cajoled into playing drums by his daughter and wife and did a thoroughly good job.

Dumbleton Hall - Worcestershire- wedding- 28th April 2012
The wind  did bloweth  and the rain did falleth. It was cold, it was dark and it was dank (if that's a word). However inside, our guests were oblivious to Mother Natures fury and partied all night with indomitable spirit. They danced, sang and made merry from start to finish. The bride chopped the wedding cake in half with a mighty sword to which everyone roared hoorah! Even when the roasted hog was accidentally furnace d to a crisp our intrepid bunch kept laughing and dancing. Jolly good show !

The Priory Chicksands Shefford wedding 05/05/2012 

A small function greeted Superfuzz for this wedding .We didn't start until 10.45 and didn't finish until 12.30. Long speeches, fireworks, coffee in the drawing room all delayed things, but once it got going there was no stopping them. They begged us to play on to which we hopelessly obliged ( such easy pushovers)!

Anyway the sound at Chicksands was brilliant with its stone walls and curved ceilings , we felt like the Who.

Weddings and wellies

7th April 2012 Tythe Barn Oxfordshire

The bride and groom wore chicken outfits for their first dance and danced the birdie song , but guess what ,it wasn't them, it was someone pretending to be them ,ha ha , laugh , I nearly did , but didn't.
Lovely venue supposedly owned by Jamie Oliver no less . I thought the venue was very picturesque but a little cold. Mind you it was about  - 3 outside.  April weddings are a bit risky weather wise , but if your on a budget, you can save a lot of money. We were treated very well and we take our hats off to the happy couple and wish them well.

14th April 2012 Nottingham Belfry hotel

40th Ruby wedding celebration for Robin and Sue . An enormous room with guests spread out doesn't bode well . Get your room size right peeps and you will have a great do , too big and as Frank once sang ,"there may be trouble ahead, oh and make sure the ale is not £4.50 a pint or everyone will be very glum.
This little shindig passed off reasonably well in the end and we enjoyed playing on home turf.

15th April 2012 Cardon Hall ,Cheshire

The wedding of Scott and Amy was a truly brilliant night. The room size was perfect , the guests were dancing all night even though it was a Sunday and our host Scott was the perfect Gent.
Do you remember the little girl off BGT , well, we had her double come up on stage and sing "The climb by Mylie Cyrus and she was absolutely fantastic . The whole song from start to finish! I think Simon Cowell may have another star on his hands .
Fuuniest moment was when we played oasis and the guys started doing their Liam Gallagher impersonations , funniest thing I've ever seen.
