Toadcast #185 – The Weddingcast
We nearly missed our anniversary again this year, but fortunately caught the fucker just in time. We were heading off to Leith to get some scran and I was sitting at the bus stop thinking about how it was nearly August and then asked one of those stupid questions you ask when something is really obvious, but actually so obvious you become unsure of it:
“It’s July, right?”
“Yes, of course it is.”
“That means it must be nearly…” (hastily fishes in pocket for phone) “Fuck! It’s our anniversary. Today!”
When your wife forgets the thing entirely as well I guess it makes no difference, so instead of going to see something daft at the pictures, we went to a fishy place, had a seafood platter and bottle of champagne, before going for (a couple too many) cocktails at The Raconteur round the corner from our house.
Five years married. Oh how happy we looked. That didn’t last*.

Call me a sap, but this post is heartbreakingly adorable! Yay for Mr. and Mrs. Toad
You’re a sap
I’m not ashamed to say that I shed a tear or two.
Really, no “Lonesome For You”? Opening line “Well, yr married now!”? Hmph!
Happy Anniversary from the West End!
Awesomeness my toad pals!
I hope someday I have a marriage as sweary and happy as yours. Happy Anniversary! Wikipedia says the fifth anniversary is when you give gifts made of wood. I hope the lady likes lumber.
Also, I love the dress she wore at the wedding. A bit jealous…
China, stop being filthy. Not that there’s any other way to interpret that kind of thing of course…
In terms of dresses, actually this is just one of many things which makes Mrs. Toad indescribably awesome. She didn’t agonise for years about her dress – instead, the day we were leaving to get hitched she went and bought three cheap ones, and decided on the day which one she fancied wearing, and then that was it.
Happy Anniversary!! Wishing you both many more happy years together. Excellent mix of music, too.
Sigh…
Love the wedding pictures! You and Mrs. Toad look beautiful. Happy Anniversary!
That’s pretty much how I chose my wedding dress! Mrs. Toad is wise, and a lovely dress she chose.
Thanks! We don’t (obviously) make much of a deal out of our anniversary, but given we actually managed to remember it this year I guess I thought I might as well mention it.
And a very odd looking head and hand on your shoulder………nice touch, they must have cost a fortune
well, better late than never right?
happy anniversary mr. and mrs. toad
