Guy on the left with the mesh hat in that picture is the all time best person.

He was my wedding photographer and is an absolute hero.
Good work Tom
I donât know who needs to hear this but itâs ok to not dress like a skater some times.

Any wedding where the guys are all expected to dress the same looks ridiculous and the photos age very badly.
Imagine a few years down the line having to explain what Peaky Blinders / Harry Potter / steam-punk is to everybody when youâve already gone of it anyway. All these Donât Tell The Bride twats thinking theyâre being unique. Or âkookyâ, probably.
I think that unless youâre, say, the leader of the DPRK, a themed wedding is a bit of a risk. Saying that as somebody who got married in skate shoes twice. First time was because they were the only black shoes I had, second time were Nike ID and didnât look like trainers.
A driving shoe is basically a posh vans slip on and come in a variety of styles/colours.
Theyâre also incredibly comfy.
I got married in brown brogues which were the first non-skateshoe Iâd worn for any prolonged time and I predicted (accurately) that my feet would be absolutely fucked so changed into all black authentics for the evening when everyone was already pissed. I do not regret my decision. (Wife had all white ones for the same reason)

At least with the Peaky Blinders mob, you wonât see that much of them on the dancefloor as theyâll be mostly in the bogs hoovering up beak

Kicking out time at the pantomime? Nope, itâs a wedding.
And since youâre looking good, the photographer is important.
Guy who shot my wedding was a former i-D / The Face photographer. You canât fuck about with some recently-single middle-aged auntie whoâs bought a DSLR from Argos and put âPhotographyâ after her name on Facebook. As my brother-in-law and his wife now know.

I went to a wedding in the states and the photographer was a friend of a friend of the bride turned up with an $80 point and shoot camera from Walmart and couldnt understand why people were pissed. She lay down in the aisle to take a photo pretty much prone on the floor.
Side note, at the same wedding one of the weird uncles killed a bat and the father of the bride kept sexually harassing the bridesmaids who were worryingly completely used to it saying âOh donât worry about it thatâs just TonyâŚâ
Weird way to remember the day

Sounds alright.
My photog had two Leica round his neck, and to a drunk distant-uncle they look cheap. Doesnât have a big lens and all that.
So that was annoying. A mate having a go at Pat Nevin about playing for Chelsea would have annoyed me if Iâd been drunker but you hardly get a chance to drink anything at your own wedding.

I drank almost nothing but gin from 11 AM until about 2 AM but was too busy to get drunk. I didnt have a hangover either weirdly

I think I stayed sober because there was so much to stress about. Stayed up all night getting absolutely wrecked by myself once I got back and put my bride to bed though.

Did Pat Nevin come to your wedding?
Yeah, heâs my mother-in-lawâs cousin. Heâs always at these things, with his wife. I donât know anything about football but we always talk about good music. I think heâs sick of talking to people about football.

Great news: after a short pause at Calais the box containing 2x pairs of Rothco cargos wife got me for Xmas (one tan, one ripstop camo FYI) has been located by DPD and they are returning it to my dad who will attempt to resend it.
I will of course keep you all updated.

Fell down a seemingly endless search for cargos rabbit hole. Found some in Tesco for ÂŁ15 at the bottom of said hole. Dad steez.
