Who is this groom?

After finishing the early matinee we were greeted by a large crowd at the stage door. Hmmm... the show's good but this is a bit ridiculous. Then a white car with white ribbons drove by and suddenly the mob were heading towards us. Got caught up in all the excitement and found myself running along with them. The mob got stranded at the driveway, haha, I have a backstage pass but, for a moment, it wouldn't let me through and we were stranded, straining to see the passengers of the car. Then I realised that I had rushed to catch a glimpse of, presumably, Lleyton arriving for his wedding and decided that I would much rather pay more attention to my stomach that was demanding to be fed.

Half an hour later, stomach appeased, and the bridal party had arrived. For one fleeting moment I considered selling my backstage pass for $500 and using the money to pay the lost pass fee but thought the better of it. Anyway, security is pretty good here, a little too good because I was kept out of our changeroom area as Bec and co were preparing to use the lift near the Drama Theatre to get up to the North foyer HOW DARE THEY!!! This is my office and I can't even get in? I HAVE A BACKSTAGE PASS!!! Finally managed to get up to the green room to be met with the sight of a line of people outside apparently trying to see into the foyer. It was quite amusing for a while, watching people watching people, very exciting, I found it hard to put myself down for a nap.

By the time I woke up, the crowd had gone and Mr and Mrs Hewitt had left the building. A shame, I wanted to do my little skit where I would yell out to Lleyton, while pointing at ST, "who is this poofter?" I thought that would have been rather clever and earnt me some press time as I get thrown out of the building by his bodyguards. Meanwhile his apology was rather disappointing but, hey, it's not like I expect gentlemanly conduct from the world number two.

Congratulations to the bride and groom.
