Mr Williams I presume?

Standing at the bottom of the precipice after taking the plunge of a lifetime it's difficult to comprehend what all the fuss was about. Why was I worried? She turned up and so did the guests. It all went swimmingly, and then some. What a fantastic day with fantastic people.

The old adage is that "life begins at forty", but in fairness it all began when I was thirty nine and three quarters when I asked Jane to marry me. As a bloke you really have no comprehension of the organisational ordeal you're letting yourself in for, but if I was asked would you do it again, I'd probably say "yes, if I ever find the right woman". When Jane reads this, I'll have a black eye to go with the slipped disc I got carrying her over the threshold. I'm just an old romantic at heart.

But seriously folks, it's an exciting time. We're at the beginning of what will hopefully be a long and happy road and it's all rosy. We have it all, each other, wonderful friends and family, a beautiful home in a beautiful part of the world and enough Champagne to pickle an elephant.
What more could a man want? New Zealand on Tuesday and then it's Christmas.

Woo hooo!!
