Valentine’s Fun
What better way to show off the 60m long balcony at The Point last week, than using a Valentine’s Day theme?
It has been an aim, ever since construction started on The Point, to showcase the flexibility of the buildings as a venue. Walk around the site and there are hoardings which advertise meetings, conferences, awards ceremonies and dinners, and of course, weddings!.
Of course I will. silly!
Not only is it a fantastic and unique suite, but – as LCCC player Steven Croft and model Abigail Bentley showed – the tremendous views will make for terrific wedding day photos as well.
Abigail. who was wearing a beautiful wedding gown (kindly lent to us by Pronuptia in Altrincham), and Croft, in his whites, had great fun, and it was definitely different to anything the all-rounder had done before. Players are not usually asked to get down on bended knee and woo brides with roses! Maybe that is why Steven had conveniently forgotten to tell his team-mates about the shoot. He would have got away with it as well, were it not for bowler Kyle Hogg walking past the site and having to do a double take.
For me?
Model Abigail was in Hello! magazine last week. However, she probably felt lesss than glamourous as she made her way to the balcony wearing a hard hat, working boots, high vis. jacket and goggles! Could have done with a jumper though as it was absolutely freezing. Ever the true professional, our bride managed to smile, despite the icy conditions.
All in all, it was a good day, a bit of fun, and another excellent showcase for the versatility of The Point.
