...I married her.
A couple of times, actually. Mel and I had the civil wedding in Wandsworth's registry office at the very start of August. But then we went down to the Dordogne and tied the knot in a tiny French church on Saturday 12 September. It poured with rain until about an hour before the ceremony. Which was actually a good thing, as it meant we had a much cooler afternoon - we wouldn't have been able to wear those outfits for long in the kinds of temperatures Sarlat was enjoying prior to the big day!
And then there were loads of photographs, and food, and drink, and speeches, and a Hebrew video blessing from Christopher freaking Eccleston, and we danced to great effect, having more or less kept our choreographer secret from most of the guests.
After that, we popped back to London to fill our suitcases with fresh clothes, then jetted out to Sorrento, for 8 days of fine food, beautiful landscapes, and general silly fun.
And today I'm back in work and it's raining.
But that's OK, as we're very, very happy indeed.
