I returned from Jam Rock after a relaxing weekend, to return to a week which has begun with a flurry at work. Anyway, that is not a complaint by any means.
I saw Dep. Comm. Mark Shields hanging out at the Hilton as well.
I did meet Doc. D for the 1st time live and in person, and he lived up to the sociable image he portrays on line. We had a couple of drinks at the Hilton Kingston, which is a very pleasant and relaxing spot where I stayed for the weekend. He was on call, and therefore he declined the tequila shots. He brought along one of his bredrin as well, a very cool brother.
I also attended by cousin's wedding and acted as a groomsman, which was quite an experience. The wedding was at the UWI chapel, which is an architectural wonder in itself. The Saturday of the wedding was an extremely long day, in that I left the jacuzzi at the Hilton at 2pm to get ready meet the groom at his room at 3 p.m., and the entire wedding and reception was finished at around 11 pm. Needless to say, I collapsed in my bed until about 9am Sunday morning. The reception was at the Les Ambassaduers, 18th Floor, Hilton. That was good fun as well.
During the wedding one of the bridesmaids, a doctor, went outside, vomited and fainted, and then returned to the lineup. Also, the wedding started without the bridesmaids, because at 3:45, 15 minutes before the start time, they were in Portmore, picking up their dresses, then one came wearing a different dress because hers did not fit. She and all the other bridesmaids had chosen not to collect the dresses or attend fittings prior to the wedding day.
Other than the above, the wedding was a nice affair. I will post pics of the wedding in my next post.
Doc, thanks for showing up, and next time, in your words, we will "rope een" some other bloggionistas from Jam Rock, including maybe his Bullness. Having some delays getting the pics on... but lets see what happens. Yes, it finally uploaded.. shown above are me and the Doc.. Doc.. thanks again.

"...went outside, vomited, fainted and returned to the lineup." LOL. Seems like it was just routine, huh? LOL. Nice that you had your link up. The Hilton is really cool (and expensive [cough cough]).
I expect that the wedding was beautiful. Anything taking place at UWI chapel should be superb. Great choice of venue. The grasses out front make for a wonderful pictorial capture. Looking forward to the pics.
Glad your visit to JamRock was good.
Doctor D, that was too funny! Really... Its a pity about the dog, but what I am imagining is Root up at the altar listening to the pastor and saying her vows and stuff and at the same time in the back of her mind she is thinking. "Ra$$ how am I going to tell them we killed their dog". Wow! So Ri... why did the bridesmaid vomit and faint? That sounds like it could be an interesting little anecdote as well...
Good that you had a good time...
Yup Ri the doc is worth the wait-very sociable.How them bridesmaids disorganised so-not trying on clothes before the day..stupesssssssss.I hope they at least bought great gifts
Sorry I missed the linkup Ri, damn work, hopefully the next time I will make it.
That was quiete an evantful wedding. Damn!
Glad you enjoyed your trip to Jamdown. Next time.
Hehe, same thing I was thinking as Dr.D, bridesmaid pregnant?
I wonder if the bridesmaids didn't like the dresses and were rebelling?
Ahhh, a weekend in Kingston.
I didn't know about the 'Hilton' bit, which one of the hotels is now the Hilton?
GG
The Hilton was the Wyndham, and I believe it was previously the Hotel Intercontinental - its next to the Pegasus and right across from the Liguanea Club - squash courts etc.
