It’s been a year now that we’ve been engaged and quite a lot of things have happened! Many things are sorted now, most noticeably the venue – which we have my grandparents to thank for. The hotel looks amazing, the staff there seem really nice and on the day there will hopefully be a gorgeous view of the sea while we have a BBQ!

Some congratulations are in order today. Over the last year four couples we know very well have also become engaged! So congratulations to:

• Bernadette and Matt, friends of ours through Scouts, who got engaged on Christmas Day 2006
• Holly and Gareth, friends of ours through school and Scouts, who got engaged during Spring 2007
• Simone and Christian, friends of ours through school and Uni, who got engaged during Summer 2007
• Becca and David, friends of ours through SSAGO and Scouts, who got engaged during December 2007

So, here’s to a splendid 2008, full of fun and excitement!
