I had one job...

Well, aside from setting up the tables in the barn, wiping the bat poo off the cake table and trying to make sure the beer didn't get too warm in this very un-Scottish heatwave: pop open the Taittinger once the couple had said 'I do' and serve them their first glass of champagne as a Mr. and Mrs.

Simple, right?

Except that the champagne had other ideas. The second I loosened the wire, the cork rocketed skyward, the bottle launched out of my hand like it was trying to escape, and I ended up thoroughly baptised in bubbles.

Thankfully, I managed to salvage just enough for the newlyweds' first toast—without them having to lick it off my dress.
