Inevitably the alcohol took over, and I remember dancing wildly and getting very sweaty but little else about the reception. I don't even remember how we got back to the hotel afterwards, though I assume it was the wedding shuttle. And I do clearly remember one flash of the dance floor lights illuminating the tops of Cassidy's full breasts in her little green dress, but that's about it.

My memory starts to clear back in the hotel pool. When I had looked in on the pool after checking into the hotel, I thought it was a sad little place. Floor to ceiling windows let in a lot of light from the outside, but the view faced the back of the hotel which was a bunch of thick hedges and then the solid concrete wall of a warehouse next door. You couldn't see the pool from the entry door, you had to walk a short way and turn a corner. Even then, what greeted you was a small cement pond that could fit a maximum of 25 people and smelled strongly of chlorine.
