My brothers Wedding in England

My Brother’s Wedding
A few years ago my brother Thomas met a British girl named Charlotte here in the U.S. They turned out to really like each other but she had to go back to England. So eventually my brother went to England to live with her for a while. I thought that he wouldn’t stay there for long but I was wrong. He came back to the states twice before he asked her to marry him. The last time he came back to Colorado he bought an engagement ring and my family was very surprised about his decision. Nobody ever thought that he would be the one to settle down and get married at the young age of 20. When he went back to London with the engagement ring he took her to Tower Bridge in London and when they got to the middle of the bridge he popped the question. She said yes and they set the date of the wedding for July 4th, 2009. They set it on this date because it was the date my brother flew out to London the first time to see Charlotte. There was a lot of work to be done for the wedding because many of the family from both sides lived in the U.S and had to have their dresses and suits fitted. This was hard to do over dozens of e-mails. But it all worked out and they planned everything out very well.
My other brother Wes and I were planned to go out here 10 days before the wedding to meet the family and see England. The first few days we spent exploring London and going to skate parks all over England which was strange because everyone rides bikes in England. We visited castles and drank dark beer in my brother’s flat. Then we went to Brighton on the coast were Charlotte grew up and we got our suits fitted. Around his time my brother's best man Colin and groomsmen Kyle arrived and so did my dad. The day of the wedding was very busy but fun. The guys stayed at my brother’s and got dressed and took pictures while the girls did the same. The church were they got married was right across the street and was built some 400 years ago and was were Charlotte’s parents got married. We got an awesome shot of the guys crossing the street to the church that looked like the Beatles cover to Abbey Road. We prepared everything in the church and when everyone was seated Charlotte arrived in a 69' Chevy Impala which was very rare to see in England. Then we took our seats and the wedding started and was really beautiful. After the wedding we went to the reception on a big bus while my brother and wife took wedding photos in a field. At the reception the fun really started. My brother's best man had a really funny speech and when the speeches were over we started to party. We gathered all the wine from the tables and set in a circle with a bunch of people and drank them all. When the band started playing I just started going to the bar to get coronas and shots. Our band stopped playing at 1 am but we still wanted to dance so we crashed another wedding in the hotel. But the English guys at that wedding didn’t like that a bunch of Americans crashed their wedding. So they told us to leave and we did. That’s when my mom came over to me and told me my brother Wes wasn’t felling good. So I went to check on him and took him into the forest so he could puke. It was hilarious and the best man Colin took a bunch of photos. I still have yet to see the photos but I hear that they are hilarious. This is about the time we went to bed around 4 in the morning.
The hardest part of the trip was the next morning. We had to wake up at 7 am and go to the airport and fly back to America. Running on 3 hours of sleep and the worst hangover I’ve ever had it was not a good experience. The first thing Wes and I did was go to a restaurant and order the biggest cheeseburger we could find and we grubbed down. But it didn’t help much and when we got on the plane we couldn’t sleep because of the noise. When we got to Denver we immediately went home and slept for what seemed like a whole day. But overall I’m very glad I had the opportunity to see England and meet new people from another part of the world. It is so interesting to see the ways people live in other parts of the world.
