Wedding Speeches: Ugly Friday
As we all know, the speech segment at a wedding reception is hit and miss depending on alcohol consumption and personality.
In the case of Joe Cole’s marriage to Carly Zucker, it would seem that, yet again, allowing any person to speak publically in this setting is riskier than outlet shopping.
During the speeches, Carly’s father, Nigel told the crowd about how she crashed Joe’s Range Rover after he taught her how to drive, and then mentioned that Carly hadn’t been the most beautiful of babies:
“The staff at Whipps Cross Hospital still call it Ugly Friday,“ he said.
Charming.
What’s the correct response to that joke? We are assuming a poison dart, but correct us if we’re wrong.
Q: what do you think is worse? Guests hearing that as a baby you struck terror across hospital wards everywhere? Or guests being told about your breast implants?
We’re going to give this one to Alex Gerrard, but only just.

Neck down, she looks great… great outfit and so unlike her. Neck up, sigh… what does one say about that hair.
Poor Carly and Alex. Neither of the speeches were appropriate, I’d say. But Carly looks fantastic in this picture. I love the outfit!
ahhh… clueless carly yet again. the name has a nice ring to it. any more volume to that hair and we can teleport her back to baltimore, circa 1960's. more hairspray, anyone???
“The staff at Whipps Cross Hospital still call it Ugly Friday,“ -lol I was born at Whiips Cross hospital-and so was Becks apparently-…. love her outfit…
haha I think Alex wins that one. Who cares if you were an ugly baby? I DO care however about that hideous Carly photo. What is the matter with that woman's hair?

I am going with Carly… that was her dad saying those things. At least in Alex's case it was one of his drunken friends.
whipps cross ?
Well, if Stevie & Alex were amused by it, then that’s all that matters. Although I’m not a huge fan of surprises. My mom always said my sister looked like the Grinch post-birth. But she’s quite lovely now.
haha! bless her.

Hopefully it was all done in a funny way and everyone took it in stride.
I’m surprised to see criticism for Carly in this pic–I think this is the first time I’ve liked the way she looks from head to toe! Even the hair, while slightly on the big side, is looking more "tousled vixen" instead of "mad scientist". LOL
