A Wedding March In Early April

Sarah gets married tonight. Bachelor Kisses sends a big shout-out to the bride and groom, and their families and friends.
Getting to know people with whom you have something in common besides gravity is one of life's most satisfying pleasures. Have you ever met someone and wasted no time before getting to the things that really matter? What matters to you? To me, it's knowing that the Tigers have an injury-free bench for the coming weekend, and having enough cash in my wallet to pick up some fags and a case of tinnies for the Friday night fixture. No, that's a joke, and you fell for it.
I'm thinking about the kinds of people with whom conversations about the everyday take on an aura of interest, because you've already established the groundwork by discussing the big issues. To me, that's knowing that the Swans have an injury-free bench and a kick-arse banner to run through before the start of the match. No, that's another joke. And you fell for it.
C. and A. and I began swapping stories and music and videos when I began shuffling about in their garden 4 weeks ago in preparation for the lovely Sarah's wedding. There was an instant bond: I didn't see the point in concealing anything from them; they responded in kind with total acceptance. I haven't worn my heart on my sleeve for years; the last time I did she kindly explained that her boyfriend earned shitloads more than I did and didn't live in "a crappy flat" either (my italics). My flat was lovely of course, situated underneath a flat number 15, occupied by the entire Scottish front row pack (substitutes included) whose hobbies included fighting, drinking and shouting shit out, and humping poor lassies on really bloody squeaky mattresses. The next day, bleary eyed at work, I had to answer loads of questions by explaining that it was not in my nature to discourage people from amorousness, particularly when the people in question were so bloody big. I couldn't very well knock on their door and request that they "shag with less enthusiasm." Could I?
Anyway, here's to more people with stuff in common with each other. Like the hope that the Wolves are currently injury-free...
