Best Story of the Groom – Chelsey & Anthony

Not really a story but his Uncle Terry and I first met him in China when he was about 14.( I’ll bring the photo.)
When I was about 15 and Ant was about 19 he stayed with us for half the summer. We spent lots of time at the lake. To stay in shape Ant would canoe himself around the lake (the closest to rowing he could get). I decided the best way to help him reach his goal was to hold on to the back of the canoe and have him drag me around the lake.
Shovelling snow in his shirt sleeves after a snowstorm in Winnipeg MB at his uncle 80th birthday so folks could get into the party!
Having a wonderful brunch in Singapore at the Fullerton Hotel
Trying to convince him I spoke Irish, not knowing that he did.
When we asked him to introduce us to his CO knowing full well he didn’t know his name.
When he plays with us.
When he comes over and plays with us.
His kindness especially after my son Tristan died.

He once got me grounded for a whole year (when I was 17)!
I had to take him for medical care after he fell out of a tree when I was looking after him
He was my son’s best friend
Likes to sit on Lions
When i swam across a lake he was shocked and gave me his swim float for safety “next time” Still have it and its saved me many times!!
Oooo, i could talk about how I had to entertain his mum for the whole day at Henley when he was trying to date my old uni buddy! dammit, I need to look through old uni photos to spark my Alzheimer’s brain- can I update this bit later?

No idea who the bloke is
So many. His best is everything he would do for his friends and previously EUBC. Funniest probably being banned from EU IT becasue your could email Brian 10,000 times a second, or that time in Inverness…
He was a real teenage philosopher, sitting on the window sill eating cheese on toast after a night out in Plymouth.
The mists of the Brecon Beacons clearing to reveal Cliff’s arse hanging off the side of Waterfalls ridge
Cliff asking a passing cyclist on a mountain bike ride what is the difference between jam and marmalade!
Ant is the only person who can eat more than me for breakfast, with packs of bacon and sausages handily packed in portions for one, and sugar pots just enough for a cup of tea.
Ant was a charming punter, punting my family along the Cam when they visited during the May Bumps.
Ant’s legendary burping once scared a group of kids who were out walking in the mountains.
The quickest way to hurt yourself is to try and pick Cliff up….
Horribly boring army stories
The fact that Ant always orders 3 starters and then a main and a dessert haha
When he brought a massive bag to chelsey’s 30th and didn’t know what to do with it!
Too scared he was going to drop my daughter and making a joke about it
Anthony came and sorted my kitchen out for me
Ant getting drunk going to the bar and confusing all our drink orders
So many stories to tell and so little time to tell it
When he got in touch with me saying he was addicted to wotsits
He lent us his VW Camper and we took our new born on his first adventures in it 🙂
Redacted
Did he and JD ever seperate?
