The Present Question

A few people have asked what we are doing about presents...

Well, we should have moved into our first (owned) home not too long before the wedding, so money towards the new kitchen fund (and similar future endeavours!) would be very welcome, as would vouchers for Ikea or Habitat.

However, it is by no means compulsory to give anything at all! We are not a young couple in need of everything from cutlery to blankets, fondu sets and pillow cases ;) Whilst presents will be gratefully recieved, your presence (at whichever event) will be present enough.

Why Canada?

Well, a big UK wedding AND a honeymoon wasn't really an option - not to mention the fact that our somewhat complex family groupings don't lend themselves to a traditional 'big day'!

So, we settled fairly early on on leaving the country for the main event and having a party when we get back.

Neither of us do very well in the heat, and I didn't really fancy sunburn and mossie bites as key features of my wedding 'look', so we've chosen a place with a cooler climate that offers lots of outdoor activities, great food and wine and classy accommodation - the West Coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Eh up.

So this is our attempt to keep everyone up to date with what's going on with us in 2007 and to answer some of the questions we keep getting asked!

Hopefully you know that we're getting married in Canada in September - and in case that wasn't keeping us quite busy enough we're also in the process of buying a flat - phew!
