Wedding weekend plans

Hello All,

Just to let you know some of our plans so far -

Myself, all my family and a shed load of heads from Bray are flying in to Bilbao on the Thursday afternoon. God help Dublin Airport, Ryanair, Bilbao airport and Pamplona, is all I can say!

As some of you may already know, its (my best man) Jake's birthday on the Friday (25th)
As most of us arrive on the Thursday, the plan is to go out for a few light refreshments on that night, so as not to risk temptation on Friday night!I will let you all know when I've organised a suitable place to meet up, but it'll more than likely be somewhere central in town.

Some more folk will be arriving on Friday evening and I'm sure you'll find your way around Pamplona no bother! So whatever y'all get up to on the Friday night, don't include me in any drinking plans.....and go easy, as we've an early start on Saturday!


Saturday morning we'll all be up early (not just Elena and I!) because the wedding is in Egues, which is about a 20 minute drive from Pamplona. We'll be organising a bus from the Iruna Park and back, and that will be leaving quite early, at 11am. The wedding will be at 12, and then its back to Pamplona for the reception. If you're not on the bus list (if you haven't spoken to me) then text me and let me know if you want a place on the church bus.

The meal will be at 3 ish, and should finish around 5ish. The vibe is that we'll stay dancing and celebrating at the hotel until around 8ish and (as is the custom in Pamplona) then on to another venue nearby for more dancing, dancing, drinking, hooha buck wild celebrations til the wee hours..... and then...

Sunday is my 31st birthday (hint hint) so anyone who's staying is welcome to come out celebrating with us in Pamplona (venues to be decided!)

As venues plans etc. are further organised I'll put up another blog, so stay posted!!!

Loads of love from Elena and me,

Keith.

hairdresser's addresses and details

Hi,

Once again the wonderful Susana has saved the day with a list of hairdressers, prices, locations and even a map! But unfortunately I'm crap at this so I can't save excel files, so I'm gonna get onto Ana, whose blog this actually is! and ask her to help me cos I'm (keith) stoopid!

Lots of love,

Keith and Elena

wedding menu and wedding list

Hey all,

Only 12 days to go!!!! I can't believe it. I'm starting to get a bit nervous now. Myself and Elena have to practice our waltzing for the first dance, which is giving me nightmares! But all good anyway. The stag was an absolute blast last weekend. Fair play to Ste, Joey and all the boys for organising it, I was well chuffed that everyone made it out for a few bevvies.

Anyway, the menu for the big day is -

Starters

Foie Mousse with plum coulis and a touch of peach

Galician Scallop gratin

Chargrilled prawns from Huelva

Fish course:

Baked monkfish with asparagus and wild mushrooms

Meat course -

Fillet steak with seasonal wild mushrooms
or
Roast lamb with potatoes "panadera" (thin roasted slices of potato

Wedding Cake

Liquid Chocolate Souffle

Coffee

Beverages -

Chivite Chardonnay

Gran Feudo Crianza

Mineral Water

Cava sparkling Brut Freixinet

In relation to the wedding list, we don't have one, as this is not the tradition in Pamplona, and we forgot to organise it! All we ask is that you have a good time and enjoy yourselves.

I'll be writing later this week with a plan for the big day!

Talk to ya all very soon!!!

Lots of love

Keith and Elena
