Twinkle toes

After the Gorse Fox and Silver Vixen had met up with the happy couple and been introduced to several friends they retired for a cup of tea and a quick tour of the surroundings. Then everyone was summoned to the hall for the evening festivities... which, of course, started with the Bride and Groom performing the first dance.

Having known both the Mighty Atom and K8y for so long it was fun watching the sheer concentration on their faces as they went through the ritual. They had obviously been practising (or even taking lessons) and you could almost see them counting the steps and the moves as the endeavoured to get it just right.

It paid off - they did just fine.

Many receptions suffer from the problem that people are loathe to get up and fill the dance floor. Not so here. Bodies of all shapes and sizes started to manouevre and gyrate to the sounds of The Stones, Lynard Skynard, The Who, David Bowie, Billy Idol and so forth.

The happy couple started to circulate - they were clearly having a whale of a time. K8y said that "people say it is the happiest day of your life. Well it's been just perfect, and it is."
