Married
I suppose I should say something in this largely neglected Livejournal. Alison and I got married last weekend, and it was a fantastic day. Thanks to all of you who came and helped us celebrate. We're currently sitting basking in the sun in the South-West of France (in the Corbières).
The day went mostly to plan, with only the slight glitch with coaches in the wrong place, dresses too long to do the first dance we practiced, coffee slightly hidden, and a wild over-estimation of the amount of beer that would be drunk. However, mostly it was great, the meal and venue were everything we hoped for, the cake was stunning, the rain held off for the reception at least, and I've ended up with a beautiful and clever wife (though to counter that, she is stuck with me).
Given we've been living together for the past four years, and are both keeping our names, it won't really mark a major change in day-to-day life. It does feel like it marks some sort of moment in a grander scale though.
